Why is Arowana Banned In Us?
The main reason for the ban is that the Arowana can be an invasive species if released into waterways. They are aggressive predators that will out-compete other aquatic life for food sources.
Additionally, there have been instances where non-native varieties have escaped from tanks or ponds and bred in the rivers. This has caused many state governments to prohibit their sale as pets altogether.
In addition to concerns over possible ecological issues, another factor behind banning the Arowana is its high price tag due to its rarity outside of its native habitats.
This makes them attractive targets for illegal smuggling operations which could contribute to population declines in the wild.
The population of Asian Arowanas is already suffering from overexploitation by over-collection from the wild.
Note: Asian Arowanas are legal in Canada!
