First Arowana set up

[Koji]

Err Aisa arowana which is silver in colour, maybe I don't know the technical name for them but they are Asian and mainly silver in colour, i live in Bangkok. Same shape and size as a golden or super red but silver and a hell of a lot cheaper to buy.
can you clarify what type of arowana that would be? if I'm mistaken I apologise, but they're deffinatly not like your black aro with the tail starting at the topp fin and going all the way round to the bottom fin.

like the top picture in this link.

these were for sale yesterday for 10 to 20 pounds, is it an Aisa Arowana?
Regards

That's an asia aro alright. That's a green aro. Cheapest among the asia aro.

For info, green can get real huge like a red. Thus a much dpeth is preferred rather than a 24 inches only. Go for 30 inches instead.

the more I think about it, the more I'm thinking of 72x30x30 with 2cm glass. Metal stand instead of teak. wooden top, with a wooden copbord undernieth on a shelf for the sump filter. that's in my price range.
one question for you, you live in Singapore so it can be hotter where you are, do I need to think about heaters in the sump filter here in Thailand Bangkok?
