Anyone Knows This Fish?


Recommended Posts

We have a few in a small pond beyond the house.

I've been told they're dragon fish but pics on the net are different.

Like to sell them because don't know how to take care.

those should be silver arowanas (osteoglossum bicirrhosum) not the asian arowanas (scleropages formosus)

I agree- looks like an arowana. Standard adult specimens normally go for THB>1k at Chatuchak. Juveniles probably around 300-800 depending on quality. (However, the real 'pedigree' ones can be sold for 000s of $.)

They are predatory fish, so if you do want to keep them you could try putting some feeder fish in their pond for them to snack on...
