Why the asian arowana is illegal in the united states.

The asian arowana is the reincarnation of the dragon and no one can tell me different. Here's why... and a rant.

    My 12 year old Silver Arrowana jumped out his tank a few weeks ago after i left the lid off to do some cleaning. I got him as a little fry and raised him nice a fat over the years and many houses my wife and I went through. RIP Gary

Have u done some research on these fish regarding it's cost because I doubt many people would toss in $3k fish let alone many people doing so not forgetting the weather does get cold and not conducive for these fish to survive. It's this sort of ignorance that influences this sort of mentality! 😆 I tell u what, lmk what fish u see that are invasive wild fish in south FL and also tell me what they go for normally retail wise.....I can answer that for u, the silver aro is probably the only one that has any worth over $100 while the rest are barely worth $20 if that even especially the midas and Oscars 😆 unreal the ignorance is overwhelming!!!!!!!!

    I'm from Asia and in my opinion it is very true if you treat your dragon well, it will bring you great health and success. The dragon connects with you unlike other fishes and if you look them in the eyes you will know what I meant. If it dies for unknowing reason, it is a belief it has warded off the bad luck that supposed to be detrimental to the owner. Take care of it with all your love my brother and I really believe it will do the same for you. Cheers and looking forward to all your videos!

    Hi bro, Amazing facts about 5he arawana. It really is a majestic specie. I know you don't just spew out info.. you actually do research. And care about your fishes wrll being. So your education comes from real facts and experience. Say have you sern the blue arowana? I think it rival your arowana for beauty. Not sure if it's found that way in nature. As i've not done reseach. But wow! The color of the blue is amazing!!!. Btw the fish you have in the 2000g really compliments the arowana. Can't wait for your future projects.. Peace out from Australia

I moved into reef keeping back in 1988 and have not kept freshwater since. I will be adding a pond with koi and tilapia to my new property, and if I could I would probably try arawana as well, though the risk of them freezing in the winter makes it not a possibility.

Pronounced Jar-dee-nee. Alot more jumpy. Has red on edges of edge scales. Grow bigger and much harder to come by in trade. Both are not endangered. More scales top to bottom than an Asian 7 vs 5. Still beasts and equally as awesome as an Asian.

    Saratoga is the family name in Australia Jardinii being the Northern of gulf and Leichartdi being the southern. I'm a bit surprised you got that wrong normally your spot on with your information. For the record Joey is dead on about how nasty they can be. My Leichartdi once pulled a full grown cat into the tank. Don't panic I rescued the cat & it's wasn't injured other than a little but traumatised. So keeping a 3' monster in a tank is exactly that, keeping a monster that will attack and kill anything your put with it including large Oscar's.
