My First Asian Arowana : Banjar Red

[ZidanSanz]

nice catch ...
how much did you pay for the banjar ? 500k ? add some 300-400k you'll get fair rtg and you'll get double satisfaction

350k rupiah or about $27

There are two varietys of banja red, red tailed and silver yellow tailed. I have a yellow tail like the op's fish.
Both have the same Latin name but look different.

Is it too cheap or too expensive?

Really? I never know that before.. All i know is there are banjar red and banjar yellow. Am I got wrong information?

Here in the US one can hardly find a silver arowana at that price,I never thought that any type of Asian arowana was priced so low.

^^^^In south east Aisa you can buy a super red or HB red/golden/bluebase for few hundred dollars while its super cheap compare to US currency but if you exchange to their own currency it will be a massive money that will take some folks months and even years to save up

 

[krichardson]

I see but a few hundred dollars is a big jump from less than thirty dollars.

Even at $27 it still a huge money for some folks, some folks income barely +/- 1 dollar a day though so $27 still a huge money that need few months to save up

Because the price can makes me not eat for more than a month lol.
