U can't find any of them in local rivers etc. Its more easy to get them from an unlicensed farm. And all farms have to tag their brooders for AVA inspection. its quite complicated for me to explain here, but there is a special set of rules for them to follow. As for fry, no farm tags all their fishes at 5-6 inches. They are only tagged before they sold, whether it is 5-6 inch, 10 inch, 14 inches or 18 inches.
intresting i thought all aros were tagged at a small size 5-6inch then it is less stressful for the aro
i also thought that aros were tagged at a small size to identifiy the aros so you know what adults they came from or how would you be able to tell banjar 1.5 red from super red at a small size its hard to tell the same goes for xback and HBRTG
