are there any aros from asia (SE to be more specific) that aren't illegal in the US?
looking for possible tanks mates for a giant gourami
 
I think that it is common knowledge around this forum that it is illegal to keep any kind of asian arowana in the US.

Just go ahead and get one and don't tell anyone about it. I bet your LFS gets stock once in a while.
 
yeah dude i think pretty much all asiatic arowanas arfe ilegal to own in the US.
but you may get lucky. someone may know of at least of kind of fish
 
Its an underground thing. I mean if you know about the asian arowana, I guess you are smart enough to know that it costs a lot of money and it takes a lot of care in keeping it as a hobby.

It doesn't mean that because its illegal that you can't get a hold of it. Just know how too be quiet about it. Although not everything that is illegal should be available underground.
 
no if it's illegal i won't mess with it (might draw attention to my other plans :naughty: )
i was just wondering if there were any aros that come from asia that aren't illegal, i know the kind that look like jar and lei's are (reds, greens, and the like) i was just hoping that's all.
