Red Arowana bred in China?
- Thread starter Marowana420
- Start date
seeing is believing! Australia have the temperature good for Asian aro so it is possible to breed them there!kevinfleming21;5160119; said:
What kind of an idiot would tell you such a thing?
Yes, indeed super reds are being bred in China, apparently some folks have never heard of indoor ponds? In Tianjin China, the local government & the Tianjin Zeming Industry Group Company have combined forces & are constructing a 160 million dollar facility, almost 4 million square feet in size. Parts of the Tianjin Ornamental Fish Science & Technology Park are still under construction, but there are already arowana breeding ponds set up.

I know quite a number of friend's dads rent ponds in farms (over here in Singapore) to breed arowana. They told me Singapore / Malaysian Peninsular have soil (as breeding are done in mud ponds) more suitable for Goldens / RTGs. Quite a number expressed difficulty to breed their Reds over here.
The PT. Wajok is a great example of quality Indonesian Reds.
Having said that, I feel that it's very difficult to breed Reds in China. They don't even breed well in the neighbouring countries (tropical climate), much worse when the Chinese try to breed them in a temperate country
correct me if im wrong but 'mud/soil' has nothing to do with breeding aro's since they are mouthbrooders. the colour/chemistry of the soil has even less to do with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no offence but it is one of the most ridiculous things ive ever heard - you can only have success breeding this colour aro in this type of soil
aro's will breed fine in indoor ponds and i would bet my house the chinese are doing it as i write this!
if everything is cheaper then where is the $1.5 million dog came from ?classic-chassis;5160625; said:
if aro can breed fine indoor then why there is only one(maybe a few) case been known that succeeded in breeding indoor?lungfishlover;5160294; said:correct me if im wrong but 'mud/soil' has nothing to do with breeding aro's since they are mouthbrooders. the colour/chemistry of the soil has even less to do with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no offence but it is one of the most ridiculous things ive ever heard - you can only have success breeding this colour aro in this type of soil

There have been, from what I know, a number of different cases where pond Aros have bred. Heck, I've seen about 5 cases of Aquarium-breeding aros.
We have to take into account what exactly were living in those ponds besides the aros and how many aros were stocked there. I managed to visit a farm recently and the owner was kind enough to tell me that there was an ideal male-female ratio for breeding to really work out.
It may also involve the age of the aros. Anything under 3 is definitely not going to be breeding in anyway.
