tannin Works! asian aros

[zennzzo]

thanks
hopefully!

sad bout not having asian aros in the US

whats the reason?

Endangered Species Act, basically, it's listed and that makes it illegal to own....

whats the reason?

Endangered status. Most Asian aros though are now captive-bred but some people especially members from MFK are working on changing the rules.

I do hope their efforts are successful...

well thats fair enough
if its captive bred
then you are helping restore the population!

axolotls are almost if not extinct in the wild
there is more axolotls in a petshop then the wild

coz no one in the government is up to date and try to reverse the laws on not allowing captive bred fish importation even if they are still endangered
