Premium Golden Head Crossback from Sing Arowanas

[Avisek Dasgupta]

Hey Theo, long time no see. I think that this was very good advice. I suspect that for many aro owners it's not a lack of determination or skill, more of one of getting sick of looking at an aro in a clinical looking WTT setting. I have always considered WTT to be mainly used as a marketing tool to sell fish at higher $$$ when they are young. Not one of deception as some feel, at least not as long as the person selling the fish makes it clear to the consumer what the possible end result can be, if one doesn't follow their protocol. Of course even if the fish loses some of it's crossing, or GH, or whatever, after growing a fish out to 22" it's not like the farm is going to be offering money back guarantees, and most hobbyists by then have grown attached to the fish anyway.

Interesting info about the farms in Singapore.

Actually this marketing ploy works. I was showing off my golden head to a few of my friends who have no idea about fish keeping, let alone arowana. They just had one point to make. While they loved the fish, they told me that it would look great if there were no blacks. Now you see, if noobs also say that, it means people like arowanas without any blacks. The farms know this and hence they do the wtt and it works well for them.
