the $1.5 million dog

That was because it was a pure bred dog, with no genetic tinkering, not made in a test tube and not tainted with plastic!
 
yeah they will stay in china. the breeding of asian arows in Australia was not reds, golds or rtgs. It was greens. Greens will breed further away from the equator. There was a rumour about a guy that managed to breed arows in oz. he is now retired and he was a jardini breeder before that rumour. Greens climate range is almost the same as for jars but hardly worth the bother considering what the laws in oz are and will be for S.formosus.. As for the good link earlier on, they still have not bred reds there and there is a heap of arows through china by now. old ones too. You cant stop the future but its not going to amount to China selling asians all over the world in a hurry like everything else. You cant knock em, they get their stuff together..but it's still cheaper to produce fish in open ponds in their native zones. For example those hothouses will need to be replaced. I saw one get ripped apart by hail once. If that happens in china.. you know what could happen. So per litre, and taking into account all possible issues..that kind of system is not cheap. Then you have energy costs to run water through filters, which also costs. heating, lighting. 20 expensive arows and so on.. breeding will happen in time but it will be slow to change the way things are. I would expect it would be cheaper to buy into an SE asian farm. doing it at home might be the aim but its not so cost efficient, i guess you only need to be able to do it in a way that pays for itself in the end and at the start its a costly learning curve.
 
I'm quite certain that the Chinese don't require any lessons on commerce.


From the Chinese Academy of Fisheries Science .......

That was 4 yrs ago.


Now note the groups involved in the link below that offered their "support" for that study.

Project support was provided by the People's Republic of China, Ministry of Agriculture Affairs State (2009-Z13) to YC Hu, Science and Technology Developing Fisheries Program of liwan (20082109029) to YC Hu and the Open Fund of Key Laboratory of Genetic Breeding and Aquaculture Biology of Freshwater Fishes, Ministry of Agriculture (BZ2009-10) to XD Mu.

Both Japanese & Chinese businessmen have already bought into certain farms in Singapore, but the reality is Singapore is a very small country with very limited agricultural space for the farming of fish. While Singapore may export approx 75 million tropical fish a year, only a fraction of those fish are actually bred & raised in Singapore farms. The Chinese are looking towards the future, just like they have with everything else, and as one of the leading importers of Asian aros it only makes sense that they take a close look at breeding these fish on a commercial basis themselves, even if it's just for their own domestic market.

actually that price is because the seller know that the buyer is a billionaire! And the rich guy want to show off!

How many people have you seen with aros that are actually older than a few years.
if say that aro that older than 4-5 years then I could say a lot of them! most of the time I heard that the eggs didn't hatch or the male swallow the eggs or some thing else! Anyway, its not easy!

Depends really. I've known and read about successes in this scenario.

Likewise, its not going to be easy to know the age lest the you know the owner personally.
