  • The asian arowana is the reincarnation of the dragon and no one can tell me different. Here's why... and a rant.

    I was eating while watching this video, and hearing Joey mispronouncing Creteacious Period so badly that it sounded like he was saying 'crustaceous period' (so basically the time of only crabs and their cousins) nearly made me die from choking because I was laughing so hard.

      Right? Also "barbels" (it's not "barbells" like in the gym) and "CITES" (not "cities") for the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species.

      He also has zero clue how to properly pronounce "pectoral" fins. Yet he said it like 30 times (incorrectly) in this video.

    My 12 year old Silver Arrowana jumped out his tank a few weeks ago after i left the lid off to do some cleaning. I got him as a little fry and raised him nice a fat over the years and many houses my wife and I went through. RIP Gary

      GTFOH! Have u done some research on these fish regarding it's cost because I doubt many people would toss in $3k fish let alone many people doing so not forgetting the weather does get cold and not conducive for these fish to survive. It's this sort of ignorance that influences this sort of mentality! 😆 I tell u what, lmk what fish u see that are invasive wild fish in south FL and also tell me what they go for normally retail wise.....I can answer that for u, the silver aro is probably the only one that has any worth over $100 while the rest are barely worth $20 if that even especially the midas and Oscars 😆 unreal the ignorance is overwhelming!!!!!!!!

    I'm from Asia and in my opinion it is very true if you treat your dragon well, it will bring you great health and success. The dragon connects with you unlike other fishes and if you look them in the eyes you will know what I meant. If it dies for unknowing reason, it is a belief it has warded off the bad luck that supposed to be detrimental to the owner. Take care of it with all your love my brother and I really believe it will do the same for you. Cheers and looking forward to all your videos!

    Hi bro, Amazing facts about 5he arawana. It really is a majestic specie. I know you don't just spew out info.. you actually do research. And care about your fishes wrll being. So your education comes from real facts and experience. Say have you sern the blue arowana? I think it rival your arowana for beauty. Not sure if it's found that way in nature. As i've not done reseach. But wow! The color of the blue is amazing!!!. Btw the fish you have in the 2000g really compliments the arowana. Can't wait for your future projects.. Peace out from Australia

    In Aust. we have 2 Saratogas...
    Leichardti which is the more common in the aquarium trade. Cheaper and less jumpy. These are the silver with some yellow..
    The other is known as the Jardini. Pronounced Jar-dee-nee. Alot more jumpy. Has red on edges of edge scales. Grow bigger and much harder to come by in trade.
    Both are not endangered.
    More scales top to bottom than an Asian 7 vs 5.
    Still beasts and equally as awesome as an Asian.

  • @justinread4381
    @justinread4381 ปีที่แล้ว

    Saratoga is the family name in Australia Jardinii being the Northern of gulf and Leichartdi being the southern. I'm a bit surprised you got that wrong normally your spot on with your information. For the record Joey is dead on about how nasty they can be. My Leichartdi once pulled a full grown cat into the tank. Don't panic I rescued the cat & it's wasn't injured other than a little but traumatised. So keeping a 3' monster in a tank is exactly that, keeping a monster that will attack and kill anything your put with it including large Oscar's.

      those can naturally occur in any species of fish and most other animals. Its not a seperate species but rather a genetic mutation. They dont really survive in the wild due to obvious reasons, but the hobby celebrates them, covets them and likes to reproduce them to sell at higher prices due to rarity..... ive never been a fan.

    • @pjshooter6
      @pjshooter6 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@thekingofdiy I thought they may be derived from 1 particular species. I know they are expensive, though I don't keep any freshwater. I moved into reef keeping back in 1988 and have not kept freshwater since. I will be adding a pond with koi and tilapia to my new property, and if I could I would probably try arawana as well, though the risk of them freezing in the winter makes it not a possibility.

    I always loved your informative videos joey, its clear that you have done a ton of research on asian arowanas before the making of this video, Accurate and informative at the same time, I hope we get more videos like this!
    Fun Fact for people who didn't know : Asian Arowana (Scleropages formosus) are not all red, There's mainly the Gold and the Reds and each has different variations amongst them. I'll list some more commonly seen variations which actually affects the fish colouration (mostly)
    Others(Demand for these guys are not really high. usually these goes for around 50 usd for a 8 to 10 inch fish)
    Green Arowana
    Banjar Red Arowana
    Golds (The higher the gold colouration goes the more expensive they cost, all the prices are from what i found them to be at when i was looking for one to keep at 8-10 inch)
    RTG (Red Tail Gold, Gold colouration only goes up to the 4th row of scale from the bottom, leaving the top black) Costs anywhere from 60 USD to 100 USD in singapore.
    HBRTG (High Back Red Tail Gold, Gold colouration of scale goes up to 5th row) Costs around 100USD to 180 USD
    XB (Crossback, the gold colouration crosses the top of the fish's back)
    BBXB (Blue Base Crossback, Scales have a gold frame thin or thick, and the core of each scale has some sort of blue in it, it could be slight blue hue to all out saturated blue)
    Reds (Wasn't looking to keep reds so i can't really share the price but they are generally cost more than golds.)
    Blood Red (Has broader red rim around the scales.)
    Chilli Red (Thinner red rimm around the scales)
    Violet Fusion (Red but has slight blue hue that makes them appear to look violet-ish)
    Hybrid (Not sure if this is the right term, but its the only word i can think of rn)
    Splendour (Or some asians call it TongYan, Obtained by breeding a gold and a red arowana. Prices varies depending on what desirable traits the offspring inherited from the parents.)
