Hi all,
I had a call about 2 weeks back from someone from Myanmar who wanted to setup a breeding farm there. They were in Singapore for just a few days and since they came all the way to meet me, I could not say no to a meeting with them. Anyway I met a nice old gentlemen with his son who wanted to know how to setup a breeding farm in Myanmar.
They already had 2 ponds breeding green arowanas and they wanted to venture out into reds and xback golds as well. Just out of curiosity, I asked them how much they could sell green arowanas for in Myanmar.. and they said about US$800 per fish! Man! that is a damn good price for greens. 
They were looking for someone to help them with the setup as well as enquire about certain techniques to increase their yield. They were getting about 100+ babies a year which I thought was pretty good for 2 ponds.
Anyway, where I’m going with this are the following facts.. I am just reiterating what I wrote in another post but I think it is worth mentioning again if anyone is thinking of giving this a try..
Best to do this with a question/answer format :-
Q – Can asian arowanas (reds, xbacks, RTGS) be bred in other asian countries other than Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore?
Ans – No one has succeeded yet! My advise is, DON’T TRY unless you are playing with excess money as it is not cheap to start such a venture. (I don’t mind if you throw some my way! 
) The chances of success is slim. But again, who knows right? You could be the first!
Q – The climate, soil and water is very similar in my country. I should be able to breed them right?
Ans – Well.. if you go by that logic, then probably yes BUT some investors have tried in Thailand but without success. If you go by similarities, then I think Thailand is the closest to Malaysia and Singapore but yet, they have failed to breed them there. I personally think that there are subtle differences in the soil and water makeup that we cannot really differentiate.
Q – How many ponds would I need to even start this investment with?
Ans – Ok.. So you still want to try this out inspite of my frank assessment. (Ok you have some spare chump change to throw! ) What you need to realize is that you will need as many ponds as you can build and fill up, bearing in mind that not all ponds will be productive. Some ponds will be very productive and probably give you a mouthful of fry every 3-4 months and others every 6 months or so and yet others NEVER! For those ponds that have very little yield, you will have to mix them again to increase the chance of the new mix breeding.
Every pond should have at least 20-25 adult fishes to start off with. Xbacks and RTGs can start to breed when about 3+ years while reds will take a bit longer about 4+ years.
I hope that this has given you a good overview on this subject. Drop me a line in this blog if you have any more queries on this very interesting topic.
Cheers!

OMG. I just saw this thing on TV about hollywood star Tom Truong up coming movie Jesus Christ reborn. Here’s the Synopsis for the movie. In the late 1930s, The devil’s most powerful advocate named Adolf Hitler and his Nazi army scouted the world in search of the ultimate weapon of mass destruction that was left behind by God’s angels. The Bible left a clue on how to acquire that ancient weapon but the anti-christs weren’t aware that a clue existed in the bible. Their arrogants drove them mad into burning all books & Bibles. The human race survived extinction. The world is about to end as we know it. The Mayans came up with a prediction about the end of the world in Dec. 21, 2012. The Bible mentioned that it was the plaque that will kill the entire world population. But, mankind ignored the warnings in the Bible. The humans uncovered the clues in the Bible & invented the ultimate weapon of mass destruction known as “The Bio-Bomb” (an airborne deadly disease). But, God loves this world too much to let it be destroyed, he sent his one and only son Jesus Christ back to earth (reborn and living as an asian man) (just in time) to save the humans once again from amargeddon on 12/21/2012.
