It would be nice if the USA made pond grown fish legal. We can only dream.
When I saw 4' South American Arowana at Steinhart Aquarium in the 1970's? I knew I was looking at the King of freshwater fish. When I saw the first Asian Reds at Steinhart in the early 80's..its been the wish since then.

The silver are South American Arowana,still legal. The short finned Asian is the endangered CITES fish. Not legal in the USA but legal in Europe,Mexico and Asia judging by youtube vids.
