If the Asian Aro is legalized in the US, I will eat a handful of Omega One pellets, and post a vid.

Yes, that is me in my avatar. I am the blue fish on the left. Definitely cute. LOL
 
They are legal in Canada! They come with papers and a micro chip from the farm where they are breed! Breeding them is a big thing in asia. Pretty expensive here greens go for around 400 canadian, RTGs go for 1200, and reds are 2000+. But they are some of the most beautiful fish I have ever seen!

it's not to take them off the endangered species list, it's just to make them legal to keep in the USA.
The thing is, they must be taken off the endangered species list before they will be legal to keep. Its not CITES thats holding them back, its the fact that they are on the endangered species list thats keeping them illegal in the US

but other endangered species, such as the gopher tortoise, is allowed to be kept with a special permit. why not asian aros?
 
In some of the provinces you can keep snakeheads too.. but not here in Ontario. The ones I know for sure is Quebec and Alberta.

Not counting the tank and everything, it'd still take a long time to save up to buy one at $5 a week.
hmmmm? you think i'm not going to get a job in the near future? i'm 16! i'm tired of sitting around on my butt all day! :D
 
why would someone pay over 1000 bucks for an asian aro, when u can get a silver a black for 30-150, and silvers and blacks are way better lookin imo.
