Asian Arowana breeding in US?

[Jimr]

Hi Guys
I came across a site on line that supposedly is a fish hatchery in AR selling Asian Arowanas. Is that true? Can we legally buy a Asian Aro now in the US. He says yes as long as they’re breed in the US and are certified with Cities permit. Please let me know if anybody has heard of this. Thanks Jim

Do not buy from them.
They are trying to scam you out of some money. They are 100% illegal for 99% of people to own. The 1% of people who can legally keep them are the few that can actually get permits and whatnot, most are zoos and such.

Even if they did send you an asian arowana then if you got caught with it you would be in hot water.

100% scam. Also Asian Arowana won't breed large scale in US, it's too far from the equator, the seller/scammer is totally lying to you.

Wow this kind of scam actually probably catches people......huh. They out right lie about where they are and the legality of it, probably have terrible gramer on their website, and American fishkeepers still send them their money I bet.

I've heard they are using giant magnets to fool the arowana into thinking they are near the equator.........

even those large YouTubers that have them are permitted to do it and have rescued them from the black market
like the king of diy but he spends more money on his tanks than some people spend on their car.

Thanks for the response back you guys. Amazing how much time and money they spend on their site. He even has a US phone #. Texting pictures of all his breeders and fish.

Lol rescue!!!? He purchased all those with sob story money from all his little fan girls. They are legal in Canada.

No, absolutely not true. Believe me, if they became legal in the US, we'd make sure everybody on this site found out.......
