Awesome fish though, probably worth 70.it's always relative to one's market and how much that market allows for pricing a specific fish. in wichita, $70 for an arowana is a little high. they usually go for $55-65 here, at that size. I've not seen an ornate here, in awhile, so I'm not sure about them, but if i had to guess, i'd say that ornates will probably go for $50 here.

Where? I live in Vancouver and really want a silver aro, but haven't been able to find one. Ive found several asian varieties, but they all seem to be between $650-$800
It really depends where you live. I live in the Los Angeles area and I've seen many stores sell 5-6 inch silver arowanas for $25 each. I bought a baby aro at 1 " for $7. If you have the room and the right tankmates, why not buy a smaller aro? He'll be at 5 to 6 " in a few short months and IME, the baby silver aros are usually pretty hardy. I've raised a few aros from when they were babies, but some people will tell you that they die easily at that stage.
The advantage you get from buying them as babies is that you can feed them the best color enhancing food and they'll turn out really beautiful when they grow up. I fed my baby aro color enhancing pellets and now he's showing a beautiful green and pink all over his top and bottom fins.
