We’ve read about this issue already on reddit a while ago, that the Red Arowana fish (who is a protected species) does not count as released after you released it and you get fined for keeping it.
So we went fishing and cought a few of them and released them immediately.
But we keep getting these messages and get fined.
Hi @LennyOgg, Thanks so much for reporting the Red Arowana issue. It’s completely understandable how frustrating it must feel to get fined even after releasing the fish.
The issue will be investigated, and an update will be shared once more information becomes available.
I confirm this bug! I’ve already received so many fines for this fish. I always let all the fish go, so it’s a pity that I’m being unfairly fined.
