@ lemonhead i sold all my oscars and flowerhorns etc etc before coming to hostel thats about 6 months back.....something that was very difficult for me....right now all i have is a couple of goldfish :| ...plus the arowana is in his bowl not mine with some guppies in case its hungry!!!!!
as for the lfs question most lfs guys in india dont know much about fish themselves..all they think of is how to make money....if he can sell an arowana in a bowl then he gets his money and the guy cant return it coz obv the fish is gonna die soon......real nutheads ....plus they dont take it back that easily....if at all they do then they give u only half of what u pay for
this particular guy told my friend that the arowana brings good luck and things like that...made use of my friends zero knowledge of fish
