Hmm.. if you're talking about having huge fish as pets, you cant beat this story that my father told me lar... smile.gif

Rural parts of Kuching, road construction project. They had to take over parts of this fellow's land in order to build the road, etc. This fellow's got a huge huge backyard behind the house (big enough to have a huge pond in it). Well, some of the construction workers were relaxing by the pond during lunch time. One fellow decided to take off his shoes and cool his toes in the pond. While waddling around the edges (water up to his knees) he felt something huge bump against his legs in the really muddy water. Freaked out and jumped out of the pond screaming like mad. According to the owner whom my father spoke to later that day, he's got 5 fishes in there, each one between 3-4 meters long. Unfortunately my father not having an interest in these stuff is not able to remember exactly what species those fish are.

I have a budget of RM200 for buying Arowana
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?

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 .

yes your other fish produce too many waste and the water gets dirty fast...or ur filter not good enought to filter off waste...
try using bio filter....it works wonders !

I guess so
asked the fish owner shop, he told me to just wait n see
if nothing happen, change the filter
QUOTE(ChelseaFan @ Nov 28 2006, 08:40 PM)
Ur colleague is talking thru his back shit hole.
Even fish shop pay more than 500 for a RTG.
He will probrably get u a YT or a 1.5.
