Breeding Jardini Arowanas

[fwprawn]

With all the Asian Aro breeding going on - is there anyone breeding Jardini? If not, why not ?

 

[fwprawn]

Wow .... nobody ?

Asian aros are only bred in Asia

They don't seam to be able to breed them anywhere else it maybe the same with jar and they can only be bred in Australia

I wonder why. I wonder if the asians are using hormones in all of those breeding vids?

First you'd have to get them to live together without killing one another. Ya don't see many jardini pairs that work.

And Asians do ?

Quin Hu a fish farm in Singapore actually breeds Jardini. Their are other farms in Asia too but not too many breed jars because they are not as high in demands in the markets in Asia. Also they do not have special farms just for jars unlike asian aros do. Silver are cheaper than jars and they are breed often to sell to the market. Asian aros are more expensive but high in demands in the market. It's all business, whatever can be sold fast to the public is what many of the farms focuses to breed. They don't wanna bother breeding jars regularly as they will only lose profits as not many are being sold.

Well, they would do very well HERE.

The problem is fish farm don't sell them by singles. They need to have a min order required. If a petstore orders them and only few are sold, then it's a lose for the petstore. Here in canada people prefer asian aroa and silver aros. Not so much in jars as many cant get along in a com tank. A lot of people here are so into asian aros that they wont bother buying a jardini. It may be good in the US but how many people will actually buy them?

And Asians do ?

The Asians seem to pale in comparison to the jardini in terms of aggression scale.
