Several distinct, naturally occurring colour varieties are recognised, each found in a specific geographic region. They include the following:
The green is the most common variety, found in Vietnam, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, and Malaysia.
The silver Asian (not to be confused with the silver arowana, Osteoglossum bicirrhosum) is considered part of the green variety by some. It has two subvarieties, the "grey tail silver" or "Pinoh arowana," and the "yellow tail silver," each found in a different part of the island of Borneo in Indonesia.
The red-tailed golden is found in northern Sumatra, Indonesia.
The gold crossback, blue Malayan, or Bukit Merah blue is native to the state of Pahang and Bukit Merah area in Perak, Malaysia.
The red, super red, blood red, or chili red is known only from the upper part of the Kapuas River in western Borneo, Indonesia.

If Armac had read the post by Mr. google, he might know that the color variations exist in the wild, but being argumentative is more important than fact.

i assume there had to be some start point but that doesnt answer my question definitively, if the wild caught ones ever display the colors the ones seen in magazines?
i think the only person that could answer would be a fisherman that lives in the area or knows someone that is.

Breeders attempt to bring out the desired color through line breeding.
 
so you are saying that if i went to asia and caught one i wouldn't be able to sell it come on i do research i know i could sell it to anybody...who could pay i even sold a case of stakes to a butcher!

i know they do, im just wondering if the wilds are actually sellable generally to most people. im seeing some people say yes and some say no. wish someone had a picture of a wild one caught in the that area
 
While I can't provide a pic of a wild asian aro, I'm curious as to why people doubt the potential for wild asian aros to be really nice when wild fish like arapaima and pbass have the colour they do.
