looks like you can buy sea turtles in Japan to put in your tank with your short bodied two headed arowana. or I guess you can eat it to gain virility. pretty sick.

Poor thing. Why would they even sell something like that. Unless u have access to a 100k gallon tank no one could house that properly
 
Not surprising.....
 
I am all for keeping exotic animals as pets or even aquatic animals as food but this is ridiculous. Are sea turtles not protected animals or does that vary from country to country?
This is just as bad as the Chinese turtles and goldfish in a key chain!
 
Wish I saw some of those babies when I was in zambales. didn't see a single turtle on that reef.
Japan is one of a few countries that refuse to stop hunting whales for their meat.
So I wouldn't be surprized . Anyone here read japanese and can tell us what the signs say?
 
I'd buy them and release them lol but then yet again probably cost a lot more than I can afford :/ dam sucky feeling

No sireee I'm not surprised one bit at that sad display.As was mentioned already the Japanese have waged full scale war on the whales so the sea turtles and God knows what else is small potatoes.They don't regard or recognize any conservation or wildlife laws.
