i heard that the reds were comming off the cites list so my lfs was going to try to get some is this true? the store said the fish would still be like $2000 but if they are off the list they should come down after a while i think.
 
no.................
 
I seriously doubt it. Everything I have read says they are endangered. The poor fishermen know if they can catch one and keep it alive, they can earn a months pay.
 
that sucks! i really want one they look awsome...i'll have to ask were they got that idea from
 
no
 
that's the silliest thing I've heard all year......... just the reds huh?

Red aro's are so beautiful isn't there any breeder's in USA?

mr.reef24
its not cites that makes them illegal here, as cites allow captive bred to be pets.

its the Endangered species act, its a out dated piece of crap that doesnt realize the pet trade could be a way to increase the species population even if its not the wild one, if f2 generations are allowed to be sold. so write your congressman.
