I guessed this was the Arowana before the page loaded. Always thought those were incredible fish, didn't know they were illegal in the US.

I've definitely seen a lot of them online in aquarist circles. One wonders if the US prohibition might be counterproductive given how much of the population is probably now in farms/aquariums.

I wonder why axolotls aren't illegal? From what I understand, they're even more critically endangered, existing only in one small lake outside Mexico City.
