It is amazing. I found 12 Asian Arowana shipping from US... How it can be... everyone knows that Asian Arowanas are illegal in US... They don't realize that they can have trouble selling this fish. It is very easy to find seller.

I'm wondering what the text on the top is meaning, they can't put just that Asian Arowana is illegal in US... it strange to me...

The Asian arowana (Scleropages formosus) is listed as 'Endangered' under the U.S. Endangered Species Act and is also listed in Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). As such, any import, export, or interstate commerce of this species must comply with the requirements of the Endangered Species Act and of CITES.

no they can do stings like that and do...just like they can have a undercover cop play a hooker to get the johns...

most likly a sting...cause think about it...everyone knows they are illegal...if you did have one in the us and you weren't a zoo you wouldn't want to advertise it...
