Now i saw a Arowana at my lfs today, only about 15cm - 20cm long yet was around R400! Am i missing something? why are these fish so expensive and wanted by everyone?
Just looked at link Nice size tank , really decent fish. ....must say the green tinted rocks, and decor shows poor attention to aquarium management though! Where/When do you want a tank like this.... or fish?:blink1: I can help..if you're serious PM, with email , other info etc
did you see the mutation at the bottom of the page for 58000 pounds!!!! that's just plain sick a 2 headed fish and they think it is okay to sell it for R580 000.
@Phinix We Asains call them the Dragon Fish, the fish that you saw at the LFS should be a Silver one, the price on those are cheap as they are the most common and comes from the Amazon, they have a staight set of tail all the way to the end. If you want the more serious ones, prepare to pay a house price for each ( as they need a license and a micro chip ) lovely fish to keep and watch it swim up and down all day. I use to spend hours in front of the family tank just watching it.
As @BBQ said Phinix.... Asian Arowannas are critically endangered in the wild as well,so CITES severely restricts the trade in them - also in the East they are considered "Lucky" Feng shui fish the redder,the higher the price.... Henry,see now what I just said to you about the tank size you need for these beauties.....lol
If Arowana Fish represents the mythical Dragon. then by similar representation, the rarer the oddity, the more prized the item becomes. the TWO-HEADED DRAGON. Imagine, how that is treated, revered, and valued. Sick, has nothing to do with it. hehe
Let's hope the new black list lives up to its previous draft s 'if I remember correctly Asian arowanas did not appear on it. Would love a enkindo red or a chilli red Mmmm drool .saw at chatachook market in Bangkok in December only 300 000 baht (80k) for a 5 cm baby .in one of the back room stalls .they only let me in when i showed them the aro tattoo i have on my side after about an hour of begging .when I tried to take a pic the guy nearly broke my arm of . Well worth it . They are stunning and worth every cent. You can a legitamate red or green from about 5000 U.S .
They are so awesome the eat Live mice I have a video clip where one in a river jumps a monkey out of a tree for lunch (Wish they shot lasers from their eyes and had alfa badge marking, then they would almost be as awesome as boobies)
Some pics from the trip last year - even though the plan was to ignore all things fishy .. ja First two bangkok - first at the aquarium, second some random stall in a side ally. Last two for retail in SG
Naa I'm not serious, but they are awesome fish. I didn't think much of arowoanas til I saw them in person. They are really amazing fish. What an awesome serpentine way of moving they have.
