ckk125 said:if that is the case..u guys missed out one..yellow arowana..and chili reds..all im saying that it is important for one not to mistaken these different varieties as seperate species..like what this guy said..
"that would create confusion. green and golden arowanas are two very diffrent breeds. yes they are called aisan arowanas but they are diffrent."
let me ask you, how different are they in the wild?apart from the colour? so you are trying to say that guppies have millions of names because they have a wide range of colouration?
it may be right that gold are often related to x-back.but over here...gold = usually rtg..it depends on individuals..all im trying to point out here is whether it is a gold, rtg ,super red, chili red and god knows what is next...are not different species and they do not differ too much except for the colour
yes they are the same species....asian arowanas. and yellow and chili are usually classified as super red too.
. the yellow-tail meanwhile is a form of green, mainly from thailand. the written classes are derived from the 4 naturally occuring arowana classes in the wild not in your petshops, x-back golden(malaysia), super reds-both chilli and blood(indonesia), red-tail golden(indonesia) and the green or yellow-tail (widely distributed in south-east asia). and again, they are the same species, but different varieties or breeds if you like(as in dogs)! here i'll spell it in capital letters, SCLEROPAGES FORMOSUS just as all dogs in our houses are CANIS FAMILIARIS! you can check that out in any fish book or site or scientist you can find! i hope i explained it clearly this time, good God!
NOBODY SAID THEY'RE DIFFERENT SPECIES !!!!!!!!!!!
good job on the x back
