Are they reallly illegal???

[nubz]

ive heard from several sources that asian arowanas are illegal in the united states. aside from that i never see them on special order lists for my LFS. but i dont see jardinis either but thier legal. i was told their illegal because thier border-line endangered in the wild. this seems like a crappy excuse because thier mostly bred in ponds, like most other FW aquarium fish, so that doesnt sound like it would put to much pressure on wild ones

so are we americans stuck with silvers, blacks and jardinis? thats like the JAWS sequels without the first one ( the only good one!!!)

It is a crappy excuse, and no one wants wild asian aros anyway, but they are still illegal. :[
