Pics from a recent trip to Qian Hu fish farm in Singapore. They are apparently one of the biggest breeders/ exporters of fish in the world (especially arowanas). Enjoy!

Just to make you guys a little more envious.. I saw black ghost knives being sold for $2 each; assorted cichlids for $8 a pop and arowanas that cost approximately half the US Federal Reserve.. (just kidding, it's only 25%)

The weird looking fish fifth from the bottom was described as a South African arowana.. Looked pretty odd so I snapped a pic..

wow I want those rays!

just a question what was the most expensive fish you saw?

Yummy. Big fan of the rays, rays over aros any day IMO

wow those rays.

can we get freshwater rays in nz?

The aros are beautiful, very drool worthy !drool:

I think over there rays are so cheap that people impulse buy without providing a big enough tank. Unlike arowanas, rays have a huge wing span and thus need lots of room to move around so the tank's gotta be pretty wide at the base.. A pond would be ideal, methinks.

Most expensive fish were the arowanas. Juveniles were cheaper, some of the fully coloured adults hit about the $10K mark. Some didn't even have a price, so either they weren't for sale or they were above the $10K mark (or both?) I was hoping to see some blue base golds but they were all babies thus colourless.

Depends what type of ray, motoro rays go for between $150-$300 relevant to size, leos go for $1500 (US prices)

I think most of the common species of rays there cost about $100 odd, didn't really see many that crossed the $200 mark. The more expensive ones must've been harder to find I think. They look really cool but I dunno, the barbs on their tail scare the cr@p outta me. Wouldn't want to put my hand in there for a wc.. lol

Mass breeding. I based my info on US costs and location, everything is cheaper in Asia

Yep its an african [not south african] arowana, looks skinny though, they're filter feeders and need loads of small foods when young.

Nice rays too.
