Its also a numbers game. There are probally way more silvers in captivity then asians (maybe not over in the east, but definatly in america). So, you are going to here about silvers more often than asians.
WHY DONT ASIAN AROS DIE!!!!!!

Well judgeing by the fact a Silver cost you when young about $70-$100 and a Red Asain with Certificate of the same size runs you $4000, you'd think the keepers of these rare asains don't screw up and leave tanks open or improperly lidded tanks. And I am sure they keep the water A-plus.
Also the Arro in Asain culture is for Wealth and Prosperity, many asain business showcase Arro's for this reason.
Anyway in the last week here in my home town amazingly one fish store sold 1 Green Arro for $1800, it was 15 inch, he also sold one Red Finned Arro for $1500 and another for $1200, and today he sold a True Red Arro he just got in, was only 6 inch in size for $4000 to a veitnamese (sp) lady. All his Arro's come with certification aswell.

damn that much for a green aro, my freind is selling a green aro for 200. but yes i agree with alot of bro's here, having and aro die on you is painful enough, to dicuss about it hurts even more. mines died on me in 3 weeks... jumped out even when i had a lid. apparently it wasn't heavy enough. it didnt take me long to save up, but to find one takes forever......... 
The way i see it, keeping fish is never an investment. Its a rare thing when i actually
make money off the fish im getting rid of. But , if i factor in how many years ive enjoyed that particular fish and looking at a monster that was once a fry , an asian aro is worth it. Ive killed my shared too but its part of the game. When i buy i fish i consider it dead, just a matter of when it will die
. Like i said, its not an investment for me.

agree, it's definitely not a matter of investment for me. I thought when I first started that it would be possible, but it's really not. When I sell a fish, I'm happy to break even

Just happy to keep the nice fishies.
yep. I wanted to breed my caquetaia spectabile, but my dominate male had other ideas and started killing off all of the others I had with him....
