Price was 200$ and around 5-6" He got it due to a mistake and didnt have any cites paper on it.. I wish i would have bought it. But its like havin mona lisa at home its a masterpice but u cant show it to anyone.. But i know there are some Asians in sweden so u a find them..
They are around, but out of my budget... i heard a price of 6000$. FFF that. POwerball winner can afford it, but not me.
THEY BETTER NOT HAVE DESTROYED THE ARO'S. I better see them in the London aquarium..(if there is one)

To answer some of the questions, fish are not destroyed, they are placed with approved facilities in holding.
Just because a fish is legal to have someplace doesn't mean it got there legally - so they become illegal.
As far as you they go after in cases like this, they can nail the supplier to illegally shipping as well as nail the guy getting the shipment for attempting to smuggle in animals. If they leave those hands and get into the public, the end owner can be nailed as well.

They are legal over here, if they've been chipped and imported properly with CITES papers, these were not, so they were seized. The fish will most likely end up in a zoo or aquarium or research centre, as it is a CITES animal (and may or may not be wild).
"I very much doubt that the seized fish will be culled, particularly if CITES believes that they may be wild fish without microchips, which is what one would assume. With CITES corals and seahorses the seized livestock is normally taken to specialist zoos and aquaria to house it. "

this was posted on a UK forum and a member called the holding facility and they have been allocated homes already, probably public aquaria around the UK.
