Could be, unless they are selling jardini's as asian arowanas to trick people into spending more!, a few years back they were selling shark steaks of great white shark! Which is illegal, needless to say the place was closed down.

Because they are endangered in the wild.
Bonytongue, Asian (Arowana)
What are the permit requirements to import an Asian bonytongue or arowana? The Asian bonytongue (Scleropages formosus) is listed as endangered under the ESA and in CITES Appendix I.
- These fish may not be imported for commercial or personal pet purposes.
- Click here to obtain a fact sheet that outlines the purposes for which an ESA permit may be issued. If you intend to import an Asian bonytongue for one of the specified purposes, click here for an application form. You also need to obtain a CITES document from the foreign country. Although some Asian bonytongues are bred in foreign facilities that are registered with the CITES Secretariat to commercialize this Appendix-I species, they may not be imported into the United States unless the intended use of the import meets the ESA permit requirements, and an ESA permit has been granted.
I got this info off of this site...
