well for me is i have that budget i go for yellow cos chances it will still look good....i had one before it died after 1 year plus...i went to swiss and mom forget to feed....
but if your budget below 200 i would also suggest silver....cos silver will usally have a nice glow...seldom see a dull silver aro...but just to let you know rearing a silver aro more challenging... |

QUOTE(madstone @ Nov 24 2006, 11:05 AM) I have a budget of RM200 for buying Arowana i wil suggest u go for yellow, at least the color is more charming, but watever aro u go for, remember to cover ur tank, all aro like to jump jump jump, i learnt a very hard lesson from this one shop near my house selling Yellow tail arowana for RM180.80 but after discount RM170 plus one Green tail Arowana for RM190.80 both around 5 to 6 inches long others species like pearl and silver arowana range RM60 to RM100 the shop owner told me that yellow N green aros if lucky got many yellow n green colors, is that right? i think i want to buy the yellow tail but afraid might get con since the color isn't convincing enough so, any advice guys?   btw, got green tail aro mehh?   |

Silver Aro is very ugly. Look like a ikan parang. For budget Aro(<Rm100), best is a Pearl (RM55 in Jln Pasar) <RM200 I'ld go for a Green not a YT.(tail 2 tone color damm jalat) 1.5(Gd 2) can get for RM400 but u will regret. No color and no demand. |

That's the thing
look like ikan parang, long body   a bit regret bought the silver aro but what to do, already bought it saw few species at Jln Pasar cost RM130++ i think green tail but 2,3 inches long only  make me wanna go to Jln Pasar again tomorrow found few info about Green arowana & Yellow Tail Aro QUOTE Green Arowana: Is considered the lowest grade of the Asian Arowana . It scales are silvery-white to white color with slightly green fins . It is also the cheapest of the Asian Arowana and not a protected species . But it still have a quantity of a fine Arowana . Green Arowana is found in Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand. The scales are not bright and often translucent with some grey or green color. The color is even throughout the body (no dark-top). The tail can be grey, purplish-grey or green in color. This fish is generally shorter then its Asian relatives. This is the most affordable Asian arowana. QUOTE Yellow-Tail Arowana: Is believed to be the cross between the Gold and Green Arowana . Its scales are usually milky-white with yellow colored fins and tails . It is about the same price as the Green Arowana . This post has been edited by madstone: Nov 25 2006, 11:16 PM |

It simply doesnt have the "majestic" presence of an Asian Aro.
Btwn. silver and Jardini(Pearl), Jardini won hands down! This post has been edited by ChelseaFan: Nov 26 2006, 03:56 PM |

QUOTE(pokmaster @ Nov 26 2006, 05:17 PM) in my opinion, silvers mix better than most other arowanas i dont think so, coz, silver is tend to be quite aggressive like coconut says. oh well, each individuality is diff, but to me, who use to rear silver and yellow tail, find silver kinda aggressive and harder to mix with other tankmates. |

BTW, i mix my silver aro with 9 other fishes
i bandaraya, 2 tiger shark (i guess), 2 gold fish, 2 koi fish n another 2 i think no rpblem with that since my silver aro quite shy n aggressive still shy to me lor gonna see it's progress whether it's ok or not if not, i bet the aro will eat other fishes we'll see whether it can mix or not or i'll loose all the fish  kinda worry coz my silver aro got no janggut lor like coconut posted here How come meh?
