What makes green aros illegal and not the others?

 

[mojo408]

why are green arowanas illegal do you know?

 

[Austin]

lacey act i believe. all asian aro's are illegal in the US....

 

[Jakob]

Very true what Austin said, they are illegal in the states. +Green Aros need a much larger tank than a 100g. But a pair of GT would work fine.

 

[NatashaAliza]

But yeah asian aros illegal.

Ok, so you guys have just succeeded in showing every member who has read this how to properly derail and hijack a thread. Stay on topic, and keep it friendly.

mojo ~ Asian arowanas are federally banned in the US because even though they are being bred in captivity, they are still endangered in the wild. Some people still collect them from the wild, and in accordance with the Lacey act, the US is trying to prevent any more being removed from the wild. HTHs
