THey are very indangered, moreso than an Asian Arowana I believe.

CITES app.1, not easy for even Public aquariums to get a permit. Some sites are sting operations, some are scams. Sort of like the asian aros advertised here in U.S.

Could it be like what is happening with Paroon sharks? They were CITES protected as well (not sure if they still are, but I assume they are). People started breeding them in huge pools. Could they be farming Mekong cats as well?
