It's the same thing with Asian arowana. Most that are caught will be kept as evidence while the case is pending and then euthanized when they are no longer needed for legal proceedings.
Some are sent to zoos in very rare circumstances.
They are very hypocritical in some of their actions. "It's endangered in the wild and could go extinct so you can't keep it, but if you do, and we catch you, we will kill it"
There isn't a rehoming option for illegal species regardless of circumstances and almost all that are found are euthanized.
Once I had it home, there’s no way to get caught, unless I do something dumb, but during shipping is a possibility.
I’ve seen the banned fish list where I live and it’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. It looks like whoever made it put zero thought into it.
That’s part of why I have zero respect for laws regarding this. I don’t have any banned fish because I don’t trust that it won’t be discovered during shipping. But that’s the only reason.
If someone snitches on you, it could land you in a world of trouble. Someone on here went through that with their albino wells catfish
Most of the bans are. There is less effort, money and time into evaluating each specie and far easier to do a blanket family ban, like seen with the channa species, even though a very small number of species could be or currently are a problem
YOU CAN HAVE ANY FISH IF YOU KEEP THIS SECRET FOR YOURSELF...SNITCHES ARE EVERYWHERE, ESPECIALLY IN EUROPE COUNTRIES.
