A bunch of wannabe fish police trying to earn merit badges in ego activism around lately.
What type of arowana is this?

Lol, and it seems arguably an even greater number of "OG" wannabes with little more to contribute to most threads than offering snide remarks trying to prove their fish keeping street cred & pack mentality around lately too.
Keep it civil please guys, I'm running out of popcorn. If you have issues with each other take it to PM, this thread seems to raise some legitimate questions so let's keep it on track. Thanks.
I have friends with Asian aros, one used to be in the import business, scores of high quality aros and rays, beautiful fish. My friend the importer was uber picky on what he imported and sold under his business name, so when he got a BB Xback that didn't quite meet his standards he offered it to me, for free. I passed. I like most fish, nothing against aros in general, just not my cup of tea.
Definitely not worth thousands in fines, and/or doing time for.
If the owner of this aro has a permit, then it's all good. If he doesn't, then who cares what's posted here? Snitches? LMAO
I stole it and I'm not sorry
I have a co-worker (same lab but he works day shift) who bought this betta for his desk about 5 months ago. He kept it in the cup he bought it in. Barely fed it and never changed the water. I got sick of watching it waste away six weeks ago so I stole it and replaced it with a fake plastic betta...

Apparently promoting them, and protecting them.

I think you're assuming the owner is aware of the law. There are people I know that don't know their personal rights. So I have the right to assume the opposite, that the owner doesn't know...Since neither or us knows a thing...
On another hand, the OP seems to know enough....Or at least he/she's gone wild with even more assumptions and excuses to keep this topic heated...
Also, from my personal point of view I can't remember when I last checked if any of the fish I own are actually legal to own here...I think that was never.....I better go check if someone is snapping pictures of my tanks as we speak....
From that paragraph all I can see is rhetorical questions that the OP himself answered within the first few sentences he/she posted. The other posters posts were just confirmations of his statements...
And there's the blame within the first 3-4 posts (not just in this topic but on the forum)
As far as I am concerned the OP is pointing the finger but doesn't have the guts to say it directly to the owner or the proper authorities which is the right way to go about it. Instead, lets take lots of pictures, give approximate location and let it happen the sneaky way....all hiding behind some made up user name...
As per my initial post, it is his personal right to report illegal activities to the proper authorities if he thinks they are.
I just expressed an opinion that this forum is not a place to do so as we do not have all the facts and at the moment the OP is speculating enormously against someone not given the right to be involved. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty. The last time I checked this is not the court room.
It’s very interesting that he would offer the ones that he didn’t want to you for free. Perhaps he made enough money to do so?I have friends with Asian aros, one used to be in the import business, scores of high quality aros and rays, beautiful fish.

Let’s not throw gas onto the fire again lol.
Vote me for mod as I will not be the mod you want but the mod you NEED! I will get rid of the law banning asian arowanas and I will make sure EVERY mfk’er has a 500 gallon gank!
(paid for by the “make fishhead mod campaign”)
The nature of these two threads are completely different......
In the "I stole it and I am not sorry thread" the OP was speaking on their own behalf. It was their choice to do what they did and their choice to post what they posted....There was no question about the facts.....Sense the difference to this thread? Who is posting the "facts" in this case? ....
To coryloach:
Your assuming is ok no argument, but, that way too off from the topic, and too much personal in that assumption.
No debate but it not true.
What i mean on the quote ealier “ i dont think the owner “””””””””did not””””””””know this is “””””””””NOT””””” a asian fish: meaning if you think the owner dont know the fish he had is not the asian fish is impossible.
