I think they are banned because they are listed as highly endangered by CITES and are hard to breed in captivity.

You can buy them they are 5000 each go to arofanatics.com
They will ship here and the minimum order is 14000 so if you have the bread you can buy the fish they are captive bread and have a micro tracker imbedded in them
