Paroon Shark

[N-E Cichlids]

Quick Question

Is the Paroon SHark on the endangered species list and illegal to sell.

Paroons were voted down from being added to the CITES and redlist this year. Currently, only P. gigas is on the lists.

I am a dummy, is P. Gigas a type of Paroon Shark.

Reason I am asking is because a friend of mine was exporting some paroon sharks to barbados from miami. FWC Inspected them and confiscated them saying they were endangered and now faces fines. He asked if I knew if they were Illegal. I told him I would aske the experts. So they are legal to sell.

There's a problem if the legal-eagles are using out-dated reference material. Until recently, P. gigas was thought to be it's smaller cousin P. sanitswongi (paroon).
