Im looking to set up another nice aro tank because mine of 5yrs just died when i had to move cuz im in the military. Does anyone know what species specifically i can get in the US. Is it just the silver? Id love to have something else besides that.:drool:
 
Aren't the Africans legal as well?
 
Depends on the state you are in. Some states don't allow any at all. Some only allow silvers. Some allow anything but protected species.
 
Its not illegal if you don't get caught :grinno:
 
rofl african,black,silver,lei,jar
 
? Im so confused..... There was a member here selling a Green Arowana in CA. I replied if they HAD become legal in some states and other members made some very unnecessary remarks to my questions...So are they or not? And if so in what state are they legal in?
Thanks guys.

All Asian Arowana's are 100% illegal in the U.S, but sadly there is a large market for them- Mostly out of Cali). If you are caught, buying, owning, transporting one- You are subject to a prison term and/or HEFTY fine. they are a federally endangered species and have been since 1976.

As for the rest, it depends what state you are in.

You should go to the FAQ and check out oddballs list of restricted species by state.
