yea i dun get why silvers from halfway round the world costs rm28 and asians from 4hrs up north cost few thousand... o.o

@leggedy- dunno, maybe old one want to use

well....let say bmw 3 series 2004 e46 model is around RM97k...and bmw 5 series model is about RM150k and 7 series is around RM200k and new x6 is RM900k for the value...both also have four wheels, 4 doors, engine..both also car...but only the shape, body, quality, shining level, prestige level, is different a bit

same goes to the arowana....but some people prefer certain breed, maybe even the golden highback is really beautiful, but he like black arowana a lot what to do

but here is some useful info for you

yeap. well said haha


i want 007 bmw!!!!! raawwwrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!

I think is because of the supply and demand theory. How many silver there is compared to the golden head arowana? sommore those high grade arowana are hard to get because they go through selective breeding..... i think last time no such thing as a golden head arowana..... but they go through so many selective breeding until they achieve it.... eg. cross back + high back you get an arowaan which has a price in between and you called it the so called super high back..

Leong, do you have a special tank to store water for few days before changing your tank water? I see your tank got many filters menas you give the best to your fish... but i still think if u use aged water and change it everyday is that best.... btw....

Why is dead spot in the aquarium tank not good? I thought this dead spot could be places for the arowana to rest...

if like that, i am assuming for the next several years, we can have bluebase, highback, crossback breed more cheaper then? because right now bukit merah has been a very popular arowana's farming place, they breed a lot of kind arowana type over there








i think the price is different it is because of the beautiful of it, and the treatment being use, tanning etc... not because of maybe that type is a common type or not a common type


err...after googling for that farm picture, i found this picture, really beautiful but the eyes is dropped

Hopefully it wil be cheaper. But currently the demand for Goldies are high from oversea such as Japan, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and the current stock is not enough for that. Hopefully Malaysia can produce more aros to cope with the demand locally and internationally.

Regarding the picture, I don't think that aros have DE. Aros looks like half conscious after given transmore and ready for tagging.

haha..i though DE...no wonder the eyes looks like so stim


yeah..japan, korean, china, hongkong..all demanding for golden and red arowana


luckily in US asian arowana is illegal, if it legal just imagine how much the demand will increase

i have plan to venture into this business but the capital is very big ..
i have a friend just started this business - at the moment he had 20 HB Arowana about 20 inch in Fiber Glass Tank.
Very soon he will put the fishes into farm ....

Wow! Good investment bro.

just about the farm

if let say i have a natural water pond (digging from a trench, make it bigger and some how created a pond)

is it possible to breed an arowana on that kind of water? do i need to inspect on what is the pond requirement? the water specification, filter or anything else needed?

@ Jamestan_85

tqtq
haha noler, i just used the ball initially to find dead spots, now i just leave em there to help prevent de
i did leave a corner with very slow and low current flow for the aro to rest at xD

yeah the filter i have double (invested into a lot of those ehiem filter media ), i thinking of even adding in an over head filter ....but like i dun think my hood has much space inside for that

i use aged water from the danki water stored above the house lol
my wc schedule is 30% every saturday
sometimes i will do on wednesday if i feel up to it but saturdays is a must even if i'm cold/sick/beaten down or anything hahahaha

i love my red

--------------------------------------------------------

i wonder if we can use test tube to mix silver with red and gold etc and see how it comes out like lol

imagine silvers with red scales and red cheeks or gold and got blue base....or even high back and all.....

But if you use tangki water is not 100% aged right? cuz just say your tangki water is 1m cube can just take your bath in the morning and use 200 liters or water....means your tangki will be filled with 200 liters of new water..... meaning not 100% aged water right?

I would like to get a Red arowana too....and a cross back but no $$

Bro,

So far he already invest RM 50k cash ...
As far as i know ...the rental for the farm is rm 800 per month.
Once they found out that Aro produced baby arowanas the fries will be split between the farm and the aro owner.

bro, then is ur fren responsible to take care of the aro? or the person in charge of the farm are responsible to take care it?

Bro,

the person in charge of the farm will take care the aro as u pay them monthly rm 800 -

i see.. actually a friend of mine is doing this business as well..if u all interested can pm me...hehe

Bro,

no capital ..i only afford to have 1 fish only

hee.. me too.. saya miskin..

Nice. Can buy aro with more cheaper price from ur friend.

i dont think my frd is selling cheaper.. golden head aka kim tao for 3400 3.5 inch.. is it consider cheap?
