I think what's different now than in the early days of CITIES is what we take for granted nowadays. Think about it........the internet and fish discussion forums like the houstonfishbox were not organized as they are today.

What if....................monsterfishkeepers, waterwolves, the cichlid-forum, cyphos, dfw fishbox, houstonfishbox..............got together and re-petitioned the US department that has oversight for CITIES and the endangered species list. Who better than hobbyist would take good care of these species and others like stingrays..............

We could flood........yes, flood these guys with letters to permit hobbyists to keep them. Maybe if we had to pay $250-$1,000 to get a permit to keep one that might open their eyes and ears.

Just saying.............

If only it were that easy. I know for a fact MFKers have been trying for a while, even other Arowana forums have pushed for the revision of the law. It's failed.. These guys aren't going to become legal in the US anytime soon.
