Types of Arowana

Silver and Black arowana are from South America, there is the homely African aro, the Australian Jardini, and as for Asian arowana the green, red tailed golden, and red are natively from Indonesia and the Crossback Golden from Malasia, which are also called the Malasian Golden, or Malasian Bonytongue. All the Asian arowana are scientifically reffered to as "Scleropages formosus" The other fancy names you hear like Electric Blue, Violet Fision, Chili Red just to name a few are just names given to usually either the red or crossback arowana for marketing purposes. Selective and crossbreeding methods have been used by arowana farms to produce specific desired results in Arowana. The majority of fish you're hearing about here are some colour variation of either the red or crossback. Somebody please correct me if i'm wrong
