henward Posted October 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 doubt australia will allow them in lol they have enough trouble getting clown knife fish in the country so you will have to go further, like us, africa, canada - or asia US and Canada is ok African is a hole and asia is even worse! visiting asia is ok but living there....dunno exceptions singapore nd japan but the lifestyle is crap! shame ay i gues you cant have it all lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henward Posted October 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 i disagree armatus is highly tropical in fact very warm wtaer is needed so it wont even survive here it wont be able to digest its food it would die Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 But its got big teeth, it must be a piranha, surely we must not let this monster into our precious ecosystem... :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted October 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 its crazy! i dont understand. you have more danger of releasing a freshly cooked pancake into our rivers and lakes than this thing. if you put an arowana or armatus or even piranhas into our lakes and waters, first they would be sick from the basic water conditions...then they would die from the cold if you release 1000 specimens. 2 to 3 might survive just out of pure probability - but not for long, they wont digest food, or metabolise, eventually they would be disease with our disease and die - then if thats not enough. If they did live long enough and manage to find that 1 ina million chance of a pair male and female....they cant breed anyways. if you allow the arapaima gigas in here and release it it would die out of coldness straight away, regardless of how big it is. its like chucking a snake around queenstown........... our average temp here is too low for snakes to flourish, i dont get that either.
