the social economic structure is totally different from Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia. The aforementioned countries have a long history of aquaculture, probably for over 30 years in the Aquarium industry or more. Where as in Iquitos, people barely have electricity along the river, no glass fish tanks in most holding places. If they're going to breed anything it would be tilapia first. They are now beginning to put fish in ponds for rearing and small scale breeding, but nothing near the sophistication of what they've been doing in Asia. The mentality is different also...trust me, I'm Asian. and I've visited a handful of different countries in South American on a few occasions....

Come on Wes! It's so simple that a caveman can do it! Just GIVE him 20 GOOD workers and a few days to dig a pit next to a main river, insert some drain pipe, catching some adult silver to throw in the pond, and Axanthic fry will come out of it!

Hey Einstein, wouldn't it be easier and much cheaper for a native to find out the breeding season and location of the wild fish and then just net them out and take the babies than trying to hire 20 men to make a pond and then go out and catch 100 adults and then trying to breed them and feed and take care of them from floods, predators and then someone has to be there 24/7 to make sure no one vandalizes- the list goes on. But you think you just dig a hole and throw s bunch of fish in and voila instant baby Xanthic arros. LMAO- you're not that bright.

BTW- the reason they farm Asian arros is because there is very few in the wild, otherwise they would all be wild caught too.

Dude! You ruin the fun! I was trying to help him to come to that common sense by himself. He may spit out some ridiculous idea along the way, before he gets there, but now it's over! :grinno:

I tried that with mine..but maybe my asian accent is perhaps, too strong.. the arowana doesn't respond to my demands. Can I call you Bill? and then hand my phone to my aro, so you can ask him for his documents? Thanks.:ROFL:

Do you really think he would have figured it out on his own? Some people live in Fantasy land and have to be told how it is in the real world. lol

So let me get this right they go out take all the risks catching the aro
They take the fry then throw the adults back in
Why wouldn't you catch the adults take the fry then put the adults in a holding pond
If they did this for 2 or 3 seasons they would have collected enough not to have to risk going out and risking life
Or they could just keep going out doing the same job over and over again and hope they don't get knocked out of the boat by a arapaima

I'm not smart I have even been told I have a bone head but I know what I would do

LMAO- risk getting hit by an arapaima! You have a better chance of getting struck by lightning.

These people aren't rich man! You think they have the means to build a pond, catch a bunch of arros, feed and take care of them everyday?
Or would it be easier for them to get in a boat they already have for fishing and go net some already to go, release the parent and catch them in the next breeding season. No need to take care of fish fighting in a pond, don't need to feed them, don't have to worry about floods or predation or vandalism. No worries, except for killer flying arapaima- ROTFLMA!
You've been watching way to many River Monster shows LOL
