I have heard about arowana bringing good luck when they are alive but never when they are dead but come to think of it, I had a friend who had a nice arowana for 5 years and then one day on their way home from travelling (driving), they got in to a bad car accident going head-on with a cow in SE Asia and then when they reached home, their aro was dead. They weren't sure if it was before or after the accident. Soon after, his dad's business went down and then followed with nose cancer. Scary to think about it. Just htought I'd share.
