If anyone is interested, I just saw this add on kijiji for a shop in Oakville, ON that sells Asian Arowanas - https://www.kijiji.ca/v-fish/fredericton/asian-arowana-shipment-available/1300672230?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

and their FB https://www.facebook.com/MAONlineTropicalFish/

My tanks (and bank) are not big enough, but they are beautiful looking fish! Sidebar - I have zero affiliation with these folks, I saw the add and thought others may be interested cause finding stock in Canada can be a pain.

Edit - found their website, but no prices listed :/ http://www.mississaugaaquarium.com/

Didn't someone on TPT mention recently that you can't import Asian Arowana into the U.S., just the South American ones? Not that I have the funds for an Asian one, but I'm just curious as to why not. Are they capable of surviving in the colder waters of the U.S., as opposed to the more tropical S. American species?

Yes, they are illegal in the States. Asian Arawana are about the only thing aquaria related us Canadians have access to over the US lol I would imagine they could live fine in the warmer waters of Florida just look at the Oscar and clown knife populations in Florida waters...
