Additional information for a hobbyst : It is critical that the aquarium has a tight fitting and secured lid that is extremely strong. asian arowana are avid jumpers and can easily knock a heavy glass lid onto the floor! Many an asian arowana has been lost this way. They do not tolerate poor water quality, so excellent filtration along with frequent partial water changes of 25% to 70% or more everyday is required to keep nitrates low.
Their tank should be placed in low traffic area to keep the asian arowana from getting frightened by sudden movements. Sudden movements around their aquarium should be avoided. Lighting should preferably be dimmed instead of suddenly turning it on or off. A scared or agitated Arowana can easily injure itself.
Green Arowana Arowana/Arowana Pino has body color a bit greenish at the scales. For the fins and tail are colored a bit dark brownish. Maybe this is the thing that makes it less attractive in the eyes of the arowana hobbyists. However that does not mean there is no hobbyists want to keep this type.
When compared with the red tail golden arowana, green arowana loses in color. red tail golden arowana has a golden colour on the scales, and on the fins and tail reddish colored. Of course its appeal is higher when compared to the green arowana that looks plain colors.
But back to the taste and interest. There's also some hobbyists that felt that the green color on the green arowana is more interesting than the red and gold colors of the other arowana. There is no doubt there are varieties of prices. Better price is usually more expensive. For those of you who recently got interested to keep green arowana, there is no harm if you choose green arowana as an option. At least the classes are still higher then silver arowana brazil.
