Neil neither you or del are importers, exporters or aro collectors. You're merely a currently dormant yet enthusiastic hobbyist. So your 2 opinions carry no more weight than RTFs.
rumblesushi;498190; said:Exactly, why do you think the influx of tigs neil? Fishermen's sons are now in on the act? No, because they are hormone bred in captivity.
Where is proof of this? Find me a couple internet links.
Also to make things clearer for you, the guy imported these fish for me, just for me, only 1 marulius and 1 silver aro and 1 cuban gar. In Spain people don't keep fish, especially predators. In a LFS here you can't even buy an oscar. This guy who's been selling fish for 7 years in Spain told me in 7 years he's sold under 10 aros, and not 1 snakehead or gar. They are the only channas/gars he's ever imported, and he was quite fascinated with them. So tell me - what would his motive be for lying when I asked where they were from? It's not even like he said, oh yeah they're all wild caught, or they're all captive bred. He said the channa was captive bred and the silver was wild.
So your silver arowana is wild caught? hmm.. imagine that!!! I thought they stopped capturing them because its not worth it! Asia breeds them by the truckloads remember? why are they still collecting?
PeacockBass;498182; said:Because you are neither an importer, collector, or exporter. You have no experience in the fish industry with Arowana.
Opinion has no room in this thread. We need facts.
PeacockBass;498191; said:this pretty much rebukes all of you.
redtailfool;498176; said:Del - most of the silver arowanas that we get here in the US are fram bred from southeast asia, not south america.

redtailfool;498197; said:Then you should not be on this thread either. All your posts do not contain hard data..
And what about you , why not post your facts here?
Again , Farm Bred Silvers are from Asia, wild caught silvers are from South America .
I wil get facts for you , but in the meantime, i highly suggest that you tone down a little.![]()
redtailfool;498199; said:LOL you consider that as fact? This is your hard data?
