1. Maybe it doesn't have to be closed, so we can keep this going but in a more positive manner, let me re-direct
2. Bro Fong, you have some experience in keeping arowana, but you came off offensive when you said that the fish is common and not worth keeping, when in fact you could not produce pictures of the same fish that you claim to be common. If your criteria is a white fish that is ok, but do no be little other people's fish, this thread was started to show off a fish we got and found it was interesting. If you say yellow ones are common or not worth keeping, I cannot find too many pictures of those either.
3. Tk1- again you came off offensive as well, in the past update you said the owner used a Nan light to enhance and show off the colors, but it wasn't, and you were not only not apologetic, but you started to say these fish are probably captive bred and not worth keeping. Well, I can tell you that your black rays are common, they kill them in the rivers where they're found, but I don't say that, its called basic decency. Unfortunately you keep arguing and being ornery.
4. as for captive breeding, like I said, I know that Asian arowanas have been bred for some 20 years plus now, but also its because Asian arowanas have always commanded hundreds up to thousands of dollars each, even in Asia for at least 20 years, so there was a lot of money involved. As for silver arowanas, historically they were always a 5-10 dollar each fish at a small size, so that is why no effort was ever made to mass produce them. In the past they actually just kill the adults for food and take the babies. also its not easy to transport an adult with the limited equipment they have to a breeding station. it would be difficult. I'm sure there are some efforts being made to breed them, but its not done regularly yet, and we're not seeing the results yet.
