I own a yellow arowana. Or should I say green?

Good man! Is the green housed in your 2000L monster? any pics of it? (though I can see a super gorgeous black cruising the top!)
I sold the green a couple of years back. It was raised in a 210g tank, don't have many pics but here's a couple of the more recent ones;




And an older one, can see the red in the fins better here;

That yellow coloration on the fins will be turned to dark brownish/reddish color and scales will turn into some greeny and silvery... Cool fish as juvenile, But still a nice fish as adult too.. Feed it with some prawn/shrimp

Prawn/shrimp will help to bring out the coloration of the scales? If it will, i'll feed them lots!

It will but mostly it'll improve the coloration on fins...
Prawn/Shrimp contains carotine that they got mostly frm algae and that's the thing which improves redness.

Thats extremely low! Wherever you seen that you should've got it!
It may be extremely low for Canada, but I think you'd find it isn't unusual in Malaysia for most fish to be considerably cheaper than you or I would pay for them, given that they don't need to be shipped half way round the world from where they are bred. US$250 sounds cheap compared to what I paid for my green, and what I paid would probably sound cheap to an Australian.
