They are illegal to export from their native land, but once out they can be legally exported to any country. Thats how alot of animals in the reptile trade get here. They are exported from another country not of their origin. Makes it legal, the laws are written in a funny way. Go figure

doesnt matter if they come from canada, customs and USFWS will seize any FRT being imported into the country I have researched and tried to find a loop hole there isnt one
 
would they be legal to sell, if you were an actual breeder in the us though?

Say my male and female laid eggs, could I sell the hatchlings and not get owned by the law?

it is a good question. Like if you have a bunch of glofish that breed, you can't sell them because they are trademarked?
 
How come my message in FRT got deleted again? its VERY OBVIOUS that they allow the sale in CANADA.. and Im showing the example, and not promoting the sales to people in the STATES. *SIGH!!!!* Im not even in THE US! :o AND they are the examples that you can get in CANADA! JUST like ASIAN AROWANA... its LEGAL IN CANADA and I LIVE IN CANADA o.o;;; What's wrong with you people? x.x
 
yes you can but if you want to do it the right way to actually make money you should microchip them with USFWS present but you would also want them to inspect you setup and see the eggs incubating so there would not be any doubt that they were captive bred believe me if mine ever lay eggs I am going to do everything possible to make them completely legit... and as far as the glofish go you can sell them just have to use there trade marked name sell them at there set price and give money to whoever owns the patent to make it legal to sell them... hey MIlk how big are your frt??? probally not big enogh to breed plus the female will need a sand beach to lay her eggs in also are you positive that you have male and female???? heres a pic to help sex them

my male is a good 10" long not sure on the whole size roughly bigger the size of a basketball. not sure on the size of the female.

I will be constructing a beach/tank setup in the near future to try and breed them
 
it will be imposible to replicate a real beach you will have to use a ramp to a sand area please join my group and show pics of your FRT the link is my sig... I have designed my own breeding setup for them but since my females are not big enough have not started on it yet plus last time the females were with the male they beat him up pretty good many people have tried to breed them but there are only three cases that I know of and only one confirmed which was the berlin zoo. A friend of mine tried 6 or 7 of them in a large pond only to find one of his largest females with her whole bottom jaw ripped off by one of the others agression is a huge issue

Have they ever published or released info on what made them successful?
