I feel that labeling it ''Peruvian Sea Bass'' is a bit misleading.
On that note, being an aquarist, if I saw farm raised arapaima on the menu I would order it without hesitation.

I hope this doesn't end up being the same situation as, say, 99% of tankbuster catfish, where the farms that raise them for food are able to make juveniles very cheap and readily available to pet stores.
i maybe wrong but I think they are illegal to possess in Florida. (atleast for average hobbyists)
Haven't looked into municipal laws in US states, so you could be right. But in places they're not illegal, there is more potential for the issue I outlined.
