He'd be better off smuggling drugs than fish, apparently.

Too true..

That's just dumb. None of those fish are wild caught anyways-- they're all farm raised for ornamental purposes. The US Government is stupid to ban farm-raised Asian Arowanas-- if they they opened the borders on Asian Arowanas with the stipulation that X number of Asian Arowanas were reintroduced to the wild, farms would most definitely give up a few batches to the wild if they could sell to America's 300 milllion people.

Use economic incentives to make changes-- not prohibitions. Yeesh...

I am very new to this site but I have a qeustion about asian arowana's. Obviously there must be some in this country pre ban so are there laws preventing people from selling or trading them?
