I like the fish. I wish I were in a position to afford it. Truth be told I don't think I would anyway because I'd keep worrying about killing it lol. But at that point maybe my perception would change if i could just by another one. I for one can appreciate hunting and hunting and collecting for the rarity of it. It's like the best part of any video game. Fact: China has a lot of people, proportionately there will be a lot that are rich. Big business over there too. And they are a smart and hard working nation. Also fish have a very heavy cultural significance in Asia, and asia has quite a deep culture rooted in tradition. I don't think we should get jealous, i am happy for people's good fortune, maybe one day I will be close to as fortunate, probably not though. I'm happy with what I have, no skin off my back. For the record I hated the platinum Cichla, really wasn't my thing. This one in particular I do feel the platinum suits it. I see no point in platinum arowana, they are close enough anyway. I am on the fence about some of the stuff that is being produced by the fish industry, largely in China, in terms of the line breeding and the light exposure and all th other modifications that end up being produced. I like the looks of some of the stuff, still sorta feel it's unnatural, maybe should be regulated, and also wish they didn't have as much of a monopoly. Maybe it's cultural and not a monopoly, in which case great, happens to align with my personal interest so it would be cool to see Canada throw a hat in (Ya right). Anyway live and let live guys, not everyone has to save the world, let some do that and some purchase excessively, makes the world nice and interesting.
Peace.
