The green arowana have a notorious image especially to those who are in a look out of buying young red arowanas because green arowanas are used to crossbreed with poor quality red arowanas to come up with a 1.5 grade red arowana, which have the same features with a juvenile red arowanas especially when they are up to 5 inches long. Because of this, many buyers are cheated into purchasing a super red arowana instead they end up with a 1.5 grade arowana. Many backyard breeders prefer to use adult male green arowanas because they are better fathers and defend their young with more care than their red counterparts. A green arowana here in the Philippines would cost at around PHP 2500-6000.
