It's an endless debate. Best we can do is just wait, I'm sure people have tried to petition and I've tried to find some. Sadly, the government is too busy with other things and our voices are being drowned out.
Asian arowana in the States- I don't understand
- Thread starter Pwn

Just because it's against the law doesn't mean it's not available or you can't do it. You just avoid getting caught.
Read all your state laws, you are bound to break at least one of them a day....

It's a hot topic for sure, but let's go back to discussing the topic of how to change laws and have the ban lifted and not how many are being illegally kept or how easy it is to get on the black market? Thanks. 
My opinion? The farms are not interested in seeing the market go that route. I think it would take the support of the country hosting the farms to have any impact on the current ban.
Wait for Phil (Oddball) to post up how cheap asian aros were in cali back in the day. I don't think the farms or the host countries are interested in the kind of expansion and competition required to feed the american demand.

Thanks for the input. I have neglected to put much thought into the perspective of the existing farms. I have just assumed that someone would be making good money shipping breeders or even expanding and opening a farm here.
I really think that if we were able to get a breeding program going that the supply and demand could be self sustaining. If you see how expensive these are now in legal countries, imagine the cost it would be here. Everyone that says they want one wouldn't necessarily be able to afford one. I could see them selling for 3 times the cost.
Would this ruin the image of the species?
Could we possibly make advances in creating new morphs?
Could we make advances in breeding success rates?
I think the sky is the limit here. And I would like to think that our overseas brothers would be more than willing to help out with any knowledge or hands on training.
Imagine a California asian arowana breeding farm set up by Koji....he could be like Morimoto with his restaurant business
Oh that would rock so hard
