That fish is more rare than a blue, red or gold. That's why it's worth so much. There's probably only half a dozen in existence on the planet at the moment vs. the asian blue base, or chili red, or rtg etc. which are closing in on the 500,000 produced annually mark. The rarer, the more $$$$.T1KARMANN;827900; said:
The seller is also a very reputable seller on aquabid. Actually, I would spend that kind of money if I had it to spend.
At least it's not illegal to keep.wizzin;828040; said:That fish is more rare than a blue, red or gold. That's why it's worth so much.

white is just an albino to me i wouldnt pay $20 for it
the only nice thing about it above a normal silver aro is the price tag
what you are saying is if you found a porsche that was pink with white spots you wouid rather pay more for that than a nice red one just because it was more rare even if you looked like a clown driving it
lets be fair hear if someone shows pics of their new fish and its dam ugly with broken fins overshot bottom jaw and a bad body shape most people say nice fish good pick up just out of respect even if the fish looks crap
for me the only good selling point of that fish is its white nothing else
with aros i know color is high on the list but their is other things to consider like does the aro have PLJ ,are the fins in good shape and does the aro hold it self well in the tank
most people would walk away from that aro if it wasnt white
being white snow or albino is not enought to justfiy the price you chould buy a much nicer impressive asian aro com for the price of that ugly white aro
To each his own. I wouldn't & I don't appreicate this particular specimen but many others would, hence they would be willing to pay the price. There is no right or wrong on this issue as far as the value of the fish is concern.
MMMmmm musterd and biscits musterd and biscits that's what momma fed me when i was locked in the barn that snow aro would taste good with some musterd and biscits.joeytoe;827958; said:
The only way your porsche analogy would work is if it was a bleached silver aro with injected red dye spots! Who do you think you are? George Bush with the analogies? LOL. You can paint a car any color. Color morphs only happen once in a great while.T1KARMANN;828052; said:

I do agree, it's not in the best shape, but it's still an extremely rare animal. If you aren't into color morphs, then just ignore it. I personally think it's interesting. Not $11k interesting, but interesting none the less. Face it, deformities are bringing big bucks in the aquaria trade. You don't have to like it, it's just a fact.
The other thing, like Chaos said, it's legal to keep a snow silver aro in the US. So for those of us less fortunate who can't own Asian aros, something like this is a chance for a rare arowana.
As far as shipping a 28" aro from Thailand to the US??? I'm sure it can be done.
