State of chaos
came across a list of Asian Arow species on Wiki and found something called an ASIAN SILVER AROWANA!? no pics or sc name... any info?
plus can i see a pic if anyone has:nilly:
 
Dont worry about it as it doesnt exist. Probably just a typo.
 
I don't why they have to break down asian arowanas to 4 species. Asian arowana farms in Asia still considered them as a single species, as well as CITES. I also considered them as a single species with different color varaint.
 
Well it tells you right there most people consider it to be a varient of the green aro.

The silver Asian (not to be confused with the silver arowana, Osteoglossum bicirrhosum) is considered part of the green variety by most. 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.

Also...

Both grey-tailed and yellow-tailed silver Asian arowanas are dark grey on the back and silver on the sides, with dark ring patches on the lateral scales and a silvery or whitish belly. In yellow-tailed specimens, the fin membranes are yellowish with dark grey rays. In grey-tailed specimens, the fins are uniform dark grey
 
silver asian is maybe platinum?
 
i know its a morph some are platinum when born
 
typo or a misguided person
 
either a typo or someone trying to pass a jardini/lei as an asian
