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

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.

While that is very true but the OP asked for in Canada... and those are the prices ive seen and that are going for right now in Canada

I would have to agree here with u, David. To the extent that the price I've paid for the fish might be considered quite high (since the price in Canada is only $100). One of Malaysia's famous Bukit Merah Blue is available in our market for around RM1500, which is USD500+-. And its AAA grade! Cheap if compared to anywhere else in the world, i would say~

You're right Eddie, I've visited fish shops in Singapore and it made me very jealous! I understand Malaysia is much the same, if not cheaper again.

Cheaper, considering the exchange rate. And the breeding farm in Bukit Merah is producing a very healthy supply of beautiful aros. Still don't understand why it couldn't be exported to the US. The ban should not apply to farm-bred species, I suppose? Since we're not endangering the wild?
