it sounds morally wrong to us because we keep aro as pets ,but people in asia grow em as food fish, so i guess its food not pets for em... cant blame em, aros grow fast , easy to farm....
I am not aware of any farm in Asia that grow aros for food. There are Asian Aro farms - but these are not for food. There are farms for silver aros (i believe), but not for food either - wayyyyy more valueable as a pet than food
PS: i believe the aros have a lot of bones so not that good to eat - now bara is something else
Its wasn't all the surprising to me though. There was a thread (not in this section) aout a guy who owned an arapaima farm and he used to eat his own farmed arapaima and PLECOS. Yes his own pleco. Ill try to dig up the thread. Im sure its still active.
