i consider asian arowana's as the high end and the rest are mid to low. same level of care... why not go exotic? besides.. if you really want it then go for it... i wanted one but... before i can buy it.. it jumped out..(as per the seller). i just don't know why they are not allowed in the US since indonesia, malaysia, singapore, thailand.. and the other asian countries.... you can buy they outright on pet stores. i wonder why
