oh ya that is pretty pricey for a green lol? what are the diff grades mike?

as i was told, grading depends on the amount of nami pattern on the gill area and on the body. this will reflect price. the ones you posted above will probably be in the 5000 + range.

compared to the below pic that has nami pattern on the gill plate only.

the problem is if they are aggressive like other greens then they are nearly as aggressive as a jar

greens are the most aggressive of all asian aros so you will be lucky to keep it with tank mates

and this type of green gets much bigger than golds even bigger than red from what i know

i have had greens before and they arent nearly as bad as rtg's or jadinis i have ever had.. but im sure with one of these as pricey as they are would be best kept alone and not in a arowana com

there is prob a good reason why no one else has them they are to much $$$$$ and dont look that great

loads of people have and spend big $$$$ on golds reds and bd rays why because they look good and the thousands of fishkeepers with them cant be wrong

loads of people have 4k to drop on a fish but dont bother with a green because you can get a much better fish for less
