1. Maybe it doesn't have to be closed, so we can keep this going but in a more positive manner, let me re-direct
2. Bro Fong, you have some experience in keeping arowana, but you came off offensive when you said that the fish is common and not worth keeping, when in fact you could not produce pictures of the same fish that you claim to be common. If your criteria is a white fish that is ok, but do no be little other people's fish, this thread was started to show off a fish we got and found it was interesting. If you say yellow ones are common or not worth keeping, I cannot find too many pictures of those either.
3. Tk1- again you came off offensive as well, in the past update you said the owner used a Nan light to enhance and show off the colors, but it wasn't, and you were not only not apologetic, but you started to say these fish are probably captive bred and not worth keeping. Well, I can tell you that your black rays are common, they kill them in the rivers where they're found, but I don't say that, its called basic decency. Unfortunately you keep arguing and being ornery.
4. as for captive breeding, like I said, I know that Asian arowanas have been bred for some 20 years plus now, but also its because Asian arowanas have always commanded hundreds up to thousands of dollars each, even in Asia for at least 20 years, so there was a lot of money involved. As for silver arowanas, historically they were always a 5-10 dollar each fish at a small size, so that is why no effort was ever made to mass produce them. In the past they actually just kill the adults for food and take the babies. also its not easy to transport an adult with the limited equipment they have to a breeding station. it would be difficult. I'm sure there are some efforts being made to breed them, but its not done regularly yet, and we're not seeing the results yet.

1) Your link has not prove captive breeding of silver arowana, bro Fong. It only shows a picture of 2 guys standing in a field, no harvesting/collecting fry from pond.
2) Arowana is listed as endangered in 2006, but it has been on CITES long before 2006. Go and read those links you posted again bro Fong
You're right on one thing, though. You should be so embarrassed by now.
Why the big difference between two fish? Care to share your thought, bro Fong?
This was my whole point about lottery ticket
If you find a male holding fry like this you have a 50/50 chance that that gene came from the male holding the fry
You would have to be a total fool to throw a male back holding fry like this if its that rare

Why would you want mods to close it
Is it because not everyone loves it

There maybe hundreds of aros like this around but most go to Japan China Hong Kong Taiwan all country's that never post what they have on the Internet
The truth of the matter is if this fish was as good as you say it would have gone to Asia as they would have paid a lot more than Europe or the U.S. but the truth is they didn't want it that's why it landed in the U.S. no other reason
Yes my black rays are not rare at all but I can say I bred them my self and most of my rays was born in my tank by me
