hey Kevinngo94 I think aquariums is petty hard to find aros. If better to look on net. Because even the aquariums have it will be more expersive and may be 50% smaller as well. In my exp. And wat color of asian one u looking for? I know someone may can get the asian one, but they not cheap for most ppl.
There USED to be some shops in Sydney who were stocking RTGs. I'm sure you heard about the raids? Well yeah, 40 RTGs were confiscated from a few shops in Sydney, now, nobody stocks them, besides, private buyers are healthier and better priced.
hey, im from melbourne victoria, and ive been looking for an arowana for quite some time, so ive decided to go to sydney to buy an arowana, hopefully green, and bring it back to melbourne. how much would the asian green arowana be at the moment? my price range is 1.5k max. which aros can i get?
and do you think i should be able to drive my aro back from sydney? roughly 1000km drive.

no arows in sydney shops anymore. they came in suits and took them and killed them.
shop owners also had follow up raids six months later.
some people even troll around looking for outlets so they can report a win back to the boss and make out they have well earnt their pay check. funny thing in sydney, not only will the owners never let the fish go, which they payed so much money for, but the fish poses NO environmental threat in sydney of NSW. not even in northern NSW. its a waste of our government man hours and a waste of a threatened and vulnerable species.
if you want to make them legal, write to your relevent victoria fisheries people and advise them that the fish species places no risk to the environment at all in vic because if someone were to release one or one thousand for that matter, on purpose into the wild, it would die in the onset of winter. unless maybe it was let go in a power station outlet, which by the way the policies they have on this basically says that shouldnt matter.. there is no climate match for the species in any part of victoria and the victoria has lethal winter temps for the arowana even in the warmest of years. advise them that policy on noxious fish should only reflect harm or your AQIS and other related bodies will be chasing down perfectly safe fish. tell them high value fish will not be released but high value fish should be encouraged and taken under the wing of a regulated industry.
ask that your letter be taken into consideration when the government reps meet to discuss ornamental fish policy and noxious lists early in january 2010.
point them to the climate mapping program that they use to identify fish threat.
even better find someone else that is like minded so that a number of submissions can be made from different people with different ideas and intentions and from different states.
otherwise, if you dont do this, you can expect them to ban the fish all together more firmly in all states and probably make them noxious at a national level. seize your fish, give you a penalty and a fine and then kill your pet. that way you can go and keep one of the many allowable fish that do actually have a climate match in victoria. its fairly simple, if you do not educate them, they will not act appropriately. this fish was banned for the wrong reasons to begin with and they will follow that as if it is gospel unless you point out the mistakes in the science.

as for taking the fish into vic, you would be breaking a translocation law by taking it from a place where it will die later in winter to a place it would die earlier in winter. IF its heat source went.
so i can advise you that if you wish to take a large legal fish for a ten hour drive, use a big bag filled with oxygen and water. that would be about the only "good" reason to ask about which shops sell these kinds of fish.. also youll need to make sure the water does not get too cool once you head south. foam box springs to mind, a thermometer and a car heater if its very chilly. incidentally it took a number of agents with pre labelled boxes to pick up the arows from sydney and take them away to be killed.
if 40 fish were seized, thats about 100 plus grand down the drain, then the dozens of agents pays etc etc. all for a species that atleast satisfies the terms surrounding risk for the fish to be made legal. a dismal tragedy, but they know not what they do.....
anyone, feel free to contact me and i will provide the risk scores and explain all the places the current risk assessment score is wrong.
