Looking to buy FRY black arowana, the ones around 1-3"
They've sold in my LFS for about 25 bucks each, Looking to pay around that much including shipping and handling if neccesary. If anyone has information regarding the sales of these fish or knows any websites that sells these, please tell me what and where.

Sorry I haven't ever seen a Black in ther lfs under 6" and rarely under 100.00 .. In my opinion.. Strictly my opinion the fish you seen were probably mis labeled... TFDFish.com has had them in the past but at that size none ever lived past a couple days for them...From what they told me
 
The LFS store i mean was petland discounts, They dont know much about their arowana seeing how a fully grown adult aussie aro was like 49.99$. A year ago an asian place in china town had a bunch of fry black arowana for 30$. I regret not buying any, i went back a month ago and they told me the season for them is hard to come by this year and they were not mis labled. The city offers alot more selection i guess :/ which is probably why it was so much cheaper. BTW if anyone wants the names of those NYC chinatown FS's i'll be glad to give you the information to this one particular store which still has 2 asian aro's as well as a huge variety of nice tropical fish. I dont have information on me at the moment, but i will be going down to the store sometime around 2pm, todays date is thursday, June 14'th 2007 3:14 am. I will post up the information when i get back and HOPEFULLY with baby black aro's <3.
 
Actually, OCEAN BLUE here in So. Cal had them a couple-few months back. Probably 3"-3.5" fry w/o egg sac....... He had them for $20-$25, I was tempted to get one but didn't have the tank space and figured he'd get them in again........ I'm still waiting for him to get them in! Darn-it!
 
post info please i was in chinatown a few weeks back they had some nice shops there was 1 on the crner of mott n homer i believe
 
You are talking about the 2-3 inchers that are black with the yellow stripe that everyone used to carry 4 years ago and back. They have an extremelly high mortality rate and I have been told that they are no longer exported.

I have owned a few in years past. They seemed to hit a certain size and stop eating and die. I had read that the captive black arows may have been getting something in their diet as baby's and not getting in the aquarium. It was a common issue. A lot of them would die just under the 6 inch mark. Anything that I have seen in the past 4 years including those with egg sacks have been silvers.
