The Fascination over Asian Arowanas

[redtailfool]

Just greens, the rtg, xbacks, and my two favs the super and chili reds!! what I would do......

Mike - i just used jardinis as an example because everybody in the hobby has seen one. But jars and asians are so different in so many ways its not even a fair comparison.

well, price and scarcity aside, the Asian Arowana has quite a few characteristics over oscars,

True. But oscars have a lot over Asian arowanas as well. In fact, they have a lot over other cichlids. Great personality aside there really is no other cichlid or fish that looks like an oscar, they have a very unique look and their personalitys are great.

I hope i dont sound elitist but oscars are not in the same league as Asian Arowanas. Thats like comparing a toyota with a bentley.

And if it was the other way around are you sure you would still be saying that?

Some people would rather have a Toyota over a Bentley, even if they can afford it. I would rather have an asian aro, but that is my OPINION.
