I was wondering about the different variations of Asian arowana that are available and came up with a few questions:Do they all come from the wild green aro or is there another Asian species?The golds,reds and other colored ones are tanned so how does the offspring come out with the coloring of their parents?I welcome any comments.
 
I'll be watching just so ya know any question or suggestions about aquiring an Asian Arrow the thread will be closed and infractions issued-Anne
 
Line and x breeding is how they came to be what they are now. My understanding is that different locales produce aros with slightly different colourings. Tanning aros is simply a way to emphasize the red in red aros. I don't think Golds are tanned. I know mine isn't and it's got some serious gold goin' on. :)

Different basins in Southeast Asia have different wild color variant such as the Green from Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Vietnam, Borneo and Indonesia. The red variant are from Kapuas River from western Borneo and Indonisia. The RTG came from Sumatra and Indoneisa as well. The Blue Malayan and Gold varaint came from Panang and Bukit Merah and Malaysia. From crossbreeding different Asian arowana variant and selective breeding, farmers are able to produced HBRTG, VFSR, TY, Platinums, Albino etc. etc.

A.It wasn't directed at you
B.It's not a threat
C.I have seen all to often where Asian arrow threads go.I'm just heading it off before it goes there.
