Ok, I've skipped a few pages since yesterday, but I'm going to assume by the continued tone that more or less the same issues are being addressed over and over.

Asian aro breeding - if it were to be established in the US for reintroduction purposes - would be granted to those establishments with them already. At this point in time, several US institutions currently have them and are not allowed to set them up in any type of breeding program. Then, they would have to show progress with breeding. Until that happens, establishing an entire new facility for them won't even be recognized as an option.

I've worked with lots asian arows in a US facility. It's not something one can just jump into - even if it appears to be a well planned task.
 
i know it cannot just be jmped into if you read i said it would take years of research first my only arguement from here on is why wouldnt any of you even try to make it possible for future generations of fish lovers to own one of these awesome fish i know it may not happen in my life time but if we try to start now it may be possible why such negative responses i have looked into it and have talked to the proper authorities and like i said before i wouldnt run my lip if i didnt know what i was saying hope no one gets offended by our debate
 
The negative tone could be because it has been tried so often already by the public/hobbyists. That, and there already professional groups trying to get it worked into a reality as well. The best chance a form of this will happen is to get those established groups in the US breeding and on an introduction plan.

I think that would be a better approach to this delema. Find a group that is already trying for this, and join up with that effort.

tell people why it wont work if you read all the facts the only people that are set up and able to ALREADY set aros back into the wild are the farms

i just cant see why the farms dont want to give something back to a great fish that has given them so much

most other companys would have great plesure in showing the world that they are returning aros to the wild

let me put this very simply.

Reintroducing aros is not as simple as it seems.

To reintroduce captive bred stock into the wild is not supported as most of the stock are inbred. Hence you get to see such things as platinums, albinos, deformed body shaped aros in the market than in the wild.

Its not like breeding a tiger or panda. This will cause probs in the wild stock gene pool.

Besides as i have stated time and time again. The species S.Formosus is not endangered like the californian condor and panda. What you all are looking at is only the color morphs of the species and not the entire species itself.

I'm not being harsh. But facts are facts. An Asian aro doesnt have to be red nor gold. Its just like in bettas. This isn't saving the species. This is just wanting to increase the number of asian aros that have the coloration the general public likes.

If this offends u i'm sorry.
 
I'd think it's be easier to set up some sort of non-profit to rescue the fish fund.

with the funds, set up breeding programs in the fish's native land and release the fish back to it's natural waters. Rather then setting up breeding program in the US then fly the fish to be released to its native land. this way is much more expensive.
 
you still dont understand my purpose i may have worded it wrong i guess but i mean to do enough research into the breeding and rehabilitation of their wild population in order to do this you must observe breeding sorry if i was misunderstood i dont mean fly them back over but for research and development of proper ways to reintroduce them like i said before no need to get worked up just a way to discus ideas with people all around
 
:WTF: your the reson people dont stay on this site dont be rude






youknow if i explained the whole process i have done research on already it would take 30 pages and i dont think that i need to explain my whole process here i just wanted to see if there would be interest and support in such a program sorry i got you guys all worked up i thought that there could be a peaceful debate and discusion i will not continue on such a tone thanx for everyones responses but i will not be arguing my point with negative people anymore i will continue researching other possibilities by myself sorry to supporters of this thread thanks again
