Post by: silverarowana on April 02, 2006, 02:48:50 PM

Hi, Anyone willing to pay $12,000 for 18K gold Asian Arowana.??? If you want to see it, it is in Aquarium Beyond, Darra. However, it is nice fish, but I do not think I am willing to pay this kind of money for one fish

But it's the perfect fish - sit back and admire it whenever without the concern of water changes, food, water parameters, will it beat up my other fish..... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Bit hard to breed though.. :roll:

REDs and others are a protected species and only lay about 20-30 eggs a year, i think.

All have micro chips and certs.

If it doesn't then it is not from a legal breeding farm.
