killing asian arowanas???

Even if they do try to breed more, they wont be able too...do you not understand the concept of asian aros DONT breed easily. if it takes a couple years to form ONE breeding pair out of a pond of 30, what makes you think they could make dozens and maybe hundred of more pairs in a small amount of time to supply the US market? As pressure_cooker said, wait 30 more years when they MIGHT have more to supply the world with.

There will be enough supply because of supply and demand and the monetary reward associated with it. The U.S. is sparsely populated compared to other countries, if Malaysians and Singaporeans can do it so can we except in much greater numbers due to our great amount of land, the size of our country and market. Of course it won't be possible to supply right away, which I never said would happen and you had wrongly assumed. You are right that there would be a price bump but it would be temporary. You underestimate the power of mass production and breeding. It won't take 30 years IMO, but 30 years is not a long time, like everything in life we need to work on it and future generations will thank us for it. Think of the long run, not just for your own immediate gratification.

in the US you will need much more money to make the environment perfect for the aros to breed.
it will cost ALOT.
much much more than to breed them here in singapore.
dont think your government would be willing to give up all that land and money amongst other things to please some hobbyists.

Nope, you're right. The money will have to come from private means, which is abundant in the U.S....

the land i think wouldnt come from private means?
you would need a VERY LARGE plot of land to supply enough for the US alone.
plus how many people are going to supply that much money only to have the aros breed,if they ever,many many years later?

Land will not be a problem in the U.S., you're right that there will need to be dedicated investors though. These investors will need to secure the land too.

i think not. if you can breed this asian arowanas, you shouldve bred it a long time ago. you can have all the land, but still you cannot breed this asian arowana. and you think that you can produce asian arowanas right away as if they are guppies? look philippines get their asian arowanas from overseas farms like indonesia, singapore and malaysia. and that country is just beside indonesia and they are having problem breeding this fish. there is a secret on how to breed these fish and i dont know it. all i know that these fish breed on equatorial climate. and if you forgot asian arowana farmers are much more aiming at asian country because that is their main market due to the fact that they believe that asian arowanas are lucky charms. look you have the land you had not bred this fish. you can have 30 asian arowanas and you lucky to have 1 pair out of them. do you think asian arowana farmers harvest their fish every month?
