I used to have a bunch of those - but they were called Hong Kong eels like 10-15 years ago.

My reticulated hillstream loaches. Super active and cute. And a tank of them in the bathroom means toilet trips take longer!

you need to move to canada... lol...

i dont think the USA is EVER going to allow the import on that even tho you got yours from a breed farm.

And ive heard of stories were the fish and wildlife officals comes in and confiscates them.

But +1 on the red asian...


The most odd ball fish i have ever had tho is probably the Epaulette Shark... it was pure comedy watching a shark walk on 4 fins...
It broke my heart when i had to give it away, because it outgrew my tank....
But yeah, the Epaulette Shark is my absolute favorate fish if you ask me.. but its salt water.. :P

+1 to the Red Asian Arowana. It's too bad that they're still not legal here in the States. That's not to say that they're not available here, just very, very expensive and difficult to purchase being a "black market" item.

Wow, they really are pretty. Why are they illegal? They're invasive as all get out?
