very old, but either way, why wouldn't it be possible?

Heard about ponds but never tanks. Sorry all wise and informed ones who roam this forum with their exstensive knowledge of other people's accomplishments and the times that they occured. Please excuse the rest of us.

no one said it cant be bred, it would take you many many years to make a pair and another many many years and 30% success rate of breeding these fish.


Again never heard (ever) about them being bred in a tank. In fact have heard the exact opposite (ie. impossible, unheard of, etc.)
Do you raise arowanas? How did you come up with a 30% success rate? And how does that apply to a tank breeding. Obviously the space restriction has a major effect as opposed to a pond.

i own a asian arowana, and also we are in a country that has legalized asian arowanas, how about you do you have an asian arowana? look im sorry my bad i forgot to mention 30% in pond, it would have a 30% success rate of breeding them in pond, but in tanks? you would have a lower success, more likely 15-5% success rate
 
Most likely, they obtained a defined pair and just dumped them in an aquarium.

From what I gather, Aro pairs seem to have a Cichlid/Snakehead mentality of breeding in that they get quite agro when breeding.

As for difficulty, have no exact clue. I've read a number of articles having Asian Aros breed successfully in ponds. This one article had them breeding with only 8 pieces in the pond while another had a pic of someone's pond which seemed to only have 6 pieces.

As for other factors, Asians take 3-5 years to mature and only breed once a year. Most Aros showcased in pics are just over a year old, BTW.

Mate, unless you own an arowana farm or you work in the breeding industry, you are just pulling figures out of your ass.

mate, just use your common sense, if this fish has a high success rate of breeding then, you couldv'e breed them yourself, please apply common sense. thank you.. do you think that farms harvests their fries every month?

I just found your argument very weak...you could of at least lied and said you study and conducted research on the topic.

I agree with you, just dont agree with those numbers provided.
