I am all for legalizing CAPTIVE BRED Asian Arowanas from CITES registered Farms, but I wish that the famrs would release some back to the wild though :(


The governments that have jurisdiction of the rivers where scleropages formosus
are endemic and the farms where they are raised ( indonesia, malaysia and singapore ) should have the political will to "encourage" the farms to release
captive bred aros into the wild . The asian aro farms will never release their precious
stock without government intervention.


David- 95% of all aros sold are bred commercially so i guess asian aros are an exemption ? I believe its the destruction of their habitat that really made them endangered.

Where do you think all the Aros that people don't want anymore end up?????

Not just anywhere dummy. I meant release some asian arows back into their native habitat to help boost the wild populations. and the key words are ASIAN AROWS not silvers. Not amny people are rich enough to release their asian arows.
 
I feel that the only way to get the asian arowanas is to help boost the numbers in the wild.

Get them out of CITES listing and asian arowanas will be available for sale in the US.
