Yeah, Asian Arowanas these days are chipped. I think it has something to do with them being protected by CITES.

Yep, I think you would have to be worried if it WASN'T chipped.

 

[Ras]

[Ras]

[sodenoshirayuki]

[Juxtaroberto]

Yeah, most Asian Arowanas are MUCH more expensive, due to the fact that they're endangered.

 

[Gr8KarmaSF]

Too cheap if you ask me, be careful you are not being scammed....
