Has keeping Arowana becoming less popular?
I was quite active in this forum but gave up this hobby in 2005. Was passing Clementi C328 so just pop in to see some Arowanas. I was quite surprised to see a big drop in price for XB. Selling at about $388. That was the going price for an RTG back in 2005.
So why the drop in prices? Increased supply and decreased demand? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Keeping fishes in general has become less popular.

Thanks for the video and the comments! Still don’t think I’ll keep aros for now.

For myself, I still love the arowanas.
Previously, I kept a aro for almost 5 years. initially it was fun, but the water changing & cleaning filters is a nightmare. Every week i have to set aside almost 2 - 3 hours just for this. It doesn't help that the tank is 6 feet big. Since then, I stopped keeping fish totally. I cant afford to spend so much time on the maintenance. |

Yes, I felt the same way about the weekly water changes too. Plus I’m a perfectionist when it comes to Aros. No PLJ or drooping eyes. My water maintenance standard was not top-notch so my last Aro, a TY had slight tail rot. I managed to find some old posts of mine from AF of my 3 Aros; a TKL, an RTG and a TY.....all probably in Aro-heaven now....haha!
