I hope I'm not kicking a hornet's nest here. I'd like to get some feedback on vendors known to produce top quality Asian arowana. I know these fish can run into the tens of thousands of dollars. I'm just looking for reputable farms known to produce top quality fish. I've read lots and keep hearing about MerLion arowana (good Dreamfish marketing?), and "AAA"s from other vendors. I'd just like to know who is consistently known to produce nice fish. I'm interested in a crossback or a red...still undecided. Please feel free to PM me if this thread heats up. That's not my intent. Just trying to learn as much as I can before buying one of these very expensive fish. Thanks.
 
I've been over to arofanatics.com, but I thought a post like this might set off fireworks over there. So I'm just lurking. I did see the pang longs at Riverfront a couple of weeks ago. They are quite small and I'm not sure what grade they are. I also find Riverfront to be quite expensive, especially on "higher end" fish...$500 for scruffy looking 6" black aros for example. :eek: I'm not sure if the pang longs they brought in are worth the price. And I think I may be looking for something a little higher end anyways. I wish Koji was around to tell me more about them. He would likely know. I'll probably end up importing my own fish once I figure out what I want, although I did also talk to Riverfront about tagging on to their next order.
 
There is a shipment of Dreamfish coming into Vancouver for Chinese New Year. You should be able to to get any kind of fish you want on a pre-order basis. Photos and video in advance of individual high end fish is available. Pm if interested.
 
if you looking for a nice red ... try Aro Kingdom, i heard they have store in canada , which town i dont know
or
try koji's pang long but their speciality was xb, i supposed
 
I have red that AK is the way to go for reds. And I have seen nice XBs from a few vendors, including pang long. Right now, I am leaning towards a high quality XB. PM sent Stratos.
