A fellow on an albertan forum says he was told by a pet store owner yesterday that Brazil has slapped an eport ban on black arowana. Anyone heard anything?

This is very true.

I have also seen that they are breeding this black Aro called black black Aro. It has just been sent to Japan I think this year or last year I am not sure. They are supposed to be very rare as well.

Are you talking about the black black or as I was just told by a buddy saphire blacks?

If so I dont think that was one they have only been exported to Japan and that is it. They go for thousands as well.

just heard that Black Arows are coming in via Peru. So, even if Brazil has closed the door, they are still legally availabe for now.
