Nice yellowtail!!!!
Lol! Some people still call yellowtail a banjar red when in fact, yellowtail are natural occurring arowana in some parts of Borneo. They are pure breed not the banjar red that is a cross of green x sr.

Most of its fin look yellow because it's Xanthic. 
You don't think that hybrid can occur in nature? Or would someone crossbreed green and sr, picked the desire fries, and release the rest into river?King-eL;5093116; said:

It would depend if the two species actually occur together in the wild, I'm not sure about the distribution of the two species (S. formosus and S. legendari) and how that compares to where S. macrocephalus is found. Just because they're all "Asian Arowana" doesn't mean they occur together in nature. Even if they did, if they have become two distinct populations in the same habitat then it is unlikely they would cross naturally or else they wouldn't have become different species. Many central american cichlids will readily hybridise within the confines of an aquarium, yet occupy the same lake/river in the wild while maintaining different populations.

Natural hybrid can occur as Green arowanas are widespread but study by Pouyaud, Sudarto and Teugels in 2003 proved that yellowtails are not hybrids. I also thought that yellowtail were hybrid before. Lol! Someone would release it to the wild? If you been to Borneo, people there will likely eat an arowana or sell them.
