Legal Asian Arowana?

[slowlyburn]

I keep reading about CITES and, am I correct in saying that a US citizen can purchase an Asian Arowana that is microchipped and given a certificate of authenticity. They are captive bread on farms and may be quite expensive. Is this correct or am I just telling myself this?

CITES is just one hurdle to jump in the US.

CITES isn't even an issue in the United Sates,it the Endangered species act that makes them illegal
