illegal arro's

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I saw a few 2'' Arows (not sure the kind, gray with reddish flash and long fins, but not a Jardini or SBT because the chin barbel was really long.) They were gone 2 mos later. Either rotting in a 5 gal or confiscated or moved into the back room.

What the hell is a spotted bony tongue? Go common name or scientific name, not something you make up! :grinno:

The small ones you're talking about sound like juvenile silvers. Any yolk sacs on them? At that size they just about get completely absorbed.

Spotted Bonytongue,Scleropages leichardti related to Jardini. And no yolk sac.
 
:irked: At some point in time this has to stop with LFS and other idiots in the trade that cant ID a fish then making names up not only because they dont have the brain power to do so but because they want to make the fish sound cooler than the same fish the competitor has down the street to make a sale. I'm no Aro expert but after researching them for quite some time before I made the purchase I never heard the name Spotted Bonytongue. At some point in time as consumers we need to step up and police our own and these LFS to get it right and stop with the misleading/altered names, unethical handling and storing of fish prior to sale, illegal trading and harvesting or the gov is bound to step real hard on us and jack sh*t up.
 
I'm sorry but.. jardini aren't that amazing.. in fact... i honestly dont like it very much..
It doesnt have the same beauty as a Silver aro or the Asian...

I will say that the Lin arows.. the other Australian species does look pretty awesome...

You can try blacks too they are beautiful too.. but jardini are the least of my favorite... & African Arows..

I included a scientific name. It is a species with a fishbase article. Do research before criticising and i never said that I saw one, I said that it was NOT a Spotted Bonytongue or a Jardini. Its more of a gamefish than a trade fish, but a while back I posted a question wether or not any one has them and i was told many people do.
Thanks.
