NICE!!! how big do they get? are they born like that in the wild or manufactured.

the asian arowana in the fish trade are all bred from the farm, tagged and certified. they cant be caught from the wild, as they are highly endangered and would be illegal to own a un-tag, cert-less one.

some ppl say they are born like that, some say that the when the farm harvest the aros eitehr too early or too late (the fries' bodies are abit stunted from being squeeze in their dad's mouth).

i personally believe, some are just born like that..
 
yup i agree. Its a mutation ..probably a product of cross breeding aros.
I would rather have a full bodied aro but thats just my opinion. :)
 
looks like a cross between a parrot and an aro
 
they price are like 2 to 3 times the normal price of their species.

eg, normal rtg 350-500, short body rtg, or fa fu long as we call them can go up to 1.5k..
 
In the pic posted by blacktip, the fish at the most bottom right, really looks good. i think it is a fll baby xback, and the fish is in japan and the jap guy paid like an arm + leg for it man..

that, my friends, really look like a parrot X x-back. haha :grinno:
