i thought asian arowanas were able to interbreed with fertile offspring, thus the same species? guess i was wrong

I'm not really sure to tell you the truth. I dont know how wiki. works exactly, but I only use it for "common" stuff. I've found several flaws in things that I look up so I dont put a lot of faith in it.

Fishbase.org lists the same valid species of Scleropages. We've been through this in the other thread.
