Arowana in the Natural Enviroment

[michalm]

Hi,

What kind of Arowana you can still find in the natural enviroment ?

I know that Silver and Black one, but what else ?

 

[Gshock]

asians, jars, leis, blacks, silvers, etc etc practically every arowana in the market is still found wild, whether its common or endagered is a different story though.

Some may be endangered in specific areas while others are doing fine. Most silvers and blacks that are found in pet shops are from breeders, I believe. The Asian arowanas are illegal in the US because too many people (Americans??) were illegally taking then from the wild, I think.
What colors of the Asians are actually found in the wild only??

Close. They're endangered because of overfishing by people living near their dwelling areas as they are quite a popular fish in Asia. It is banned in america since due to the endangered species act if i remember correctly.
