Yes I know that but the province in Burma you're writing about is on the border of Thailand. Specifically Petchaburi and Pechup Kiri Khan.

It’s too cold up there for Aro so they’d need to be nearer the coast.
The wildest part make up a mountain range called Kaeng Krachan (on the Thai side). If they were in the rivers in Burma they would be in the rivers in the Thai side I recon.
I Looked at the blog, nice greens (except the one with the wacky pattern). They cost about 3,000BHT. They’re the cheapest Asian Aros in Thailand.
I may be wrong because of browser settings but that blog i see is also written in Thai.

i think you recon too many things, if you study the geographic of arowana you'll notice they can exist in a river and not exist in the next nearest river just 50 km away.

we're not talking about the usual tilapia species. and obviously if its so wide spread you wouldnt have heard about this till yesterday right?

the river span quite a distant and why do you say they cant live there?

Lastly 3,000BHT???????????????????????? yea, you've definitely confuse yourself and thought this is the usual green arowana. You should google green arowana and take a look at a green arowana picture than compare it to this Myanmar arowana and see if you can spot the difference.

It's definately a asia aro. I will definately keep one of this in my tank if possible. But from what I know, there're already malaysia farms trying to breed them in captivity. And they will be going at crossback pricing.:eek:

So far what I've heard is no breeding has been successfully done. I sure hope they succeed it'll be ashame to see this species disappearing. Another thing I'm afraid is when they cant breed this in a certain time frame they may try to shortcut by mixing with normal green and this will make the pure bloodline disappear.

This is indeed a unique arowana as it carry a higher gold gene, the cheek is gold like HB before the pattern starts forming. The shine from normal sunlight is bluebase.

Unlike the usual green where the lustre form inside the scale this species is like XB where the lustre forms on the surface. Green arowana when you shine light from the top it will not reflect the shine, unlike gold where the lustre is on the surface will reflect light from the top.
 
looks like a nami green arowana

yea, strange that 2 places so far apart yet they both develop floral pattern. So now we know there is just 2 places in the world where floral pattern arowana exist (period) until new ones are discovered.
