Arowana's of the World Tank, Is it possible? Options

[King-eL]

So how many other fish besides the Arowanas can I put? I also want to try considering an Aussie Lung for the tank. So how much do you think I may have to spend for all the Aros (Silver, Black, Afro, Chili Red, Jardini, and Leichardti) and the Lung combined?

I don't know the currency in the Philippines but I know for sure that you will be spending more than $3650. Aussie lungfish are expensive and I'm not sure if they have it in the Philippines. I rarely seen lungfish in the Philippines and I only seen West African Lungfish (Protopterus annectens annectens). Aussie lungfish also comes with a certificate just like asian arowanas.

I could probably try ordering the Lung from a pet store I know.

As for the rest...

$3650x47=171,550

So that's how much I will be paying if I get 3-inch individuals of each?

You will be paying more because that is just the regular price and not the retail price. It could go 2-3 times higher.

Silvers will cost me about 700-1200 pesos.

Blacks will cost me about 200-400 more.

Jardinis will be about the same as the Silvers.

Asians will vary. Greens are about the same as Silvers. Golds will vary between 2,000-7,000. The lesser varities will be cheaper. And the reds will range from 5,000-40,000 (Planning to get from Singapore instead.)

Africans may range from 1,300-2,400.

The Aussie Lung may cost between 3,000-20,000 estimate.

Most other monster fish cost between 400-2,500. Hopefully, Latino Lungs may be in this range.

These are all in Philippine pesos. Judging from the looks of it, I may be able to get all the fish for about 100,000, more or less. Don't really know at the moment any real exacts, but these are estimates made after looking at the retail price of a number of these fishes.

Black aros are actually more expensive than jar, silver and green in the Philippines. They are also hard to find and I know only a few people got them.

Get to know "Hendri Leung" from http://arowanaclub.com/ and http://www.indodragon.com/. His a professional photographer and been to all the asian arowana farms in the world. He's also the publisher of Indodragon books (1-5). Talk to him and he'll point you the best looking arowana farm and the cheapest.

Here are some of what I know .
(all in Philippine money (pesos))
6" Silver: 700
6" Jar: 2,400
8" Black: 1200
6" Lei: 14400

(asian aro's prices will vary on which farms you are getting them)
6" Green: 9600
6" Banjar: 14400
6" RTG: 19200
6" HBRTG: 21600
6" SR: 76800
6" VFSR: 96,000
6" BB Xback: 86400
6" PH Xback: 86400
6" Gold Xback: 81600
6" GH Xback: 86400
6" Splendour: 144000

African arowanas are no longer a "true" arowana species. They are more closely related to arapaima.

I've already known for quite a while that Black Aros will cost more. Thing is, though, I heard they aren't drastically greater in price.

And as I said, I know a shop where I can order from.

Thanks for the heads up. Oh, and whilst I know that they aren't true Aros, I'd like some help to know how much they cost.

Oh, and by the way, I noticed the lack of a chili red price. How much? As that is what I intend to aim at. Please note that I'll only start these monster tanks when I'm already done working and have been in work for about a year or two.

Chili red and blood red got the same price as you can really that they will become chili or blood at 6" unless the cert say so. That's why they are labeled SR. PT. Mujul Prima Utama is probably the only farm that got the most expensive Red in my opinion. Price can go up 3x higher than other farms.

I mean "cannot" (same price as you can't really tell that they will become chili or blood) sorry I mistype. I also forgot to add tell.

So, considering all factors, just how many fish in total can I safely chuck into the 8x4x4?
