Yea for quite some time now.

kotoeloncat · 10-11-2006, 09:43 PM

all kinds ? or just the Asian arowanas ?

because I have seen many silver australian arowana in LFSs, but never the red ones

Just the Asian ones. I think it is the Austrailian ones you see in pet stores....DOH! You already said that.

kotoeloncat · 10-11-2006, 10:04 PM

hmm odd, why ban asian arowanas when they allow silver australian ones

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
