      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 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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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..

    The aquarium trade hobby does Not have a significant negative impact on endangered species. On the contrary - the aquuarium trade may be the last best hope for the preservation of some species. Environmental habitat destruction is the number one cause of endangerment for most aquarium sized fish. The white cloud minnow and Asian arowwna are two perfect examples of fish that would be extinct if not preserved by the aquarium trade. Many environmental agencies would do better to realize this "ark" of protection that might someday allow reintroduction of species to their natural areas after damage is mitigated.
