On another thread a member told me that reds can be bred in China. this guy has been giving me good advice so far and i tend to beleive him.

Until now, I have never heard of asian aros breeding outside sing. & indo. can anyone tell me more on this?
 
why wouldnt they be eable to be bred in china? if you make a nice outdoor pond for them and keep meet their optimal requirements does it make a difference if its in X or Y?
 
The Indonesians are well known for their reds.

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:nilly:
 
I honestly wouldn't be surprised at all if people in China are breeding Asian Arowanas now. Given how the economy there is constantly growing, people are getting richer and richer by the day so who's to say a Chinese businessman wouldn't buy 50 Arowanas from a farm in M'sia/Indo'sia and S'pore and just start breeding the lot.

and Chinese people also very good at exaggeration! breeding arowana doesn't easy like it look, and the weather in China would never good for arowana to even survive in an out door pond! A lot of people in SE Asia have big indoor pond with a lot of Asian Arowana in there but don't see any really succeed in breeding them!

Yes, Asian arowanas need mud pond to breed. However I've seen someone's arowana breed in a home pond before. The authorities came and verify the whole harvesting process. All fishes have to be tagged thereafter.
 
china has the wrong temperatures for starters. too cold, fish get sluggish. not keen on breeding. i'll believe it after i see that they are breeding greens first. could be being done indoors with temps up and other things sorted out right too, its possible to breed in alaska like this so if someone wanted to throw enough money at it and knew it all then sure.
