This has nothing to do with CITES. Well, it does, but, CITES is not the one who decides which country can import them or not. It's a countries own laws that ban or allow the import of the aros. I don't even think there IS a list of every country that can or cannot import them.
thanks for your input g shock. your probably right that there is no list, atleast published on the web. someone in the cites organisation would likley have one so ill ask them or a major exporter for one. cites is sposed to keep records on them atleast.
once a country oks them being legal cites must approve by going through various things otherwise you cant import under their permits.
they go over things like environmental considerations and whether it may threaten the wild species etc. i found the export farms and their countries.
by the way, i did find a published book, millenium arowana, that contained info on japan trying breeding but without commercial success. that helps the application a lot cause it mentions they wont breed there naturally due to the 4 seasons.

also there has been part list where forumers have added some countries but its not comprehensive enough and cant be referenced to so well seeing as it comes out in numerous different posting and could be heresay. a lot of countries out there, and i only need about a dozen to have them legal and be able to document or refer to it. good news is that "introductions" also covers movement over borders for the aquarium trade. hence why i need such a list..if lots of countries have the species and they havent escaped there and bred it looks very good for us in oz.
