Damn it....hawaii state agricultural just made a new law needing a permit to ship fish........too bad nobody called me to tell me this...no fed-ex.....not the hawaii agro.....riverwonders didnt even know about this and shipped to hawaii recently and had no problems.....problem is the fish are probably gunna die..... I tried calling river wonders and they just said that we will talk tommorrow....this sucks considering the cirumstances.....hopefully the fish make it back to them alive.....also, hopefully they send me a new set of fish with me knowing that I just need to put up $5 and do a little paperwork to get them to me safely.....man this sucks........I will find out the scoop tommorrow....wish me luck,.

Aloha MistirE..........can you tell me where you got the forms to fill out? I may have to buy out of state as my LFS is very expensive. Also, anyone from Oahu know of a good lfs that I can purchase a 180g tank? My lfs quoted me $2500. for a 210g All-Glass Aquarium

Sure, its just $5 bucks for a permit....you need to give them a week or two and a date from the sender...you need to go to hawaii agriculture for this....after that no problems....I even spoke to the guy for a bit and he said there are ways around bringing in asian arowana's.....just too expensive for me....to much work....I'm happy with the black and silver arowana.......I did find a place online that was pretty cheap.....I forget the name...but it was all acrylics.....lighter and stronger......I got one.....anyhow, oahu will have more options then the big island.
