Don't think that will happen somehow, but read what PFK has to say....

cool thank you mate

 

[ermgravy]

if it does, doubt it would be complete... i cant see why Farmed aro's would be banned. might raise the price if it did happen... but its all if's and maybe's so we'll just have to keep our fingers crossed it doesn't!

 

[filiportela]

it wont... at least not soon

when can you belive anything that PFK says that mag is soooo behind the times

half the time its up to date. Sometimes has actual "news". However some of the information that is in it... well lets just say, I don't buy the mag.

I have heard of the ban of export on silvers, but don't know if they are just whisperings or something that is imminant.

its like the black aro thing they call it blue to beat the export ban

you will still be able to get silver aros but they will be snow to kick up the price

they must be great laws to have to go to such extreme lengths to find loopholes.

I really wish there were a better breeding project for/with silvers so that so many specimen wouldn't be wild caught... There brutal in south america and just hack the Large males heads off and take out the babys... This is totally inhumane and you could easily pry the mouth open and take the babys as they do in asian aro farms...
