Aro still for sale. I'm thinking I might keep it though. The colour is really coming out now. Looks really good now. Might move it into a larger tank with my ST and fei feng.

This fish for sale is in another category than any cheap reds being sold in stores. Elkindo is a good farm with a good name and reputation. Any farm that could produce an "Oscar De Lay Hoya" deserves respect. I met Edo when I was in Indonesia. I wanted to import from him at one time, though for various reasons involving other importers in Canada it did not work out. That said, if I was living anywhere within a 6 hour drive of this fish, and was in the market for a quality adult SR, I would buy this fish in a flash.
To give you an idea of how nice Elkindo's can turn out (keeping in mind of course that it depends on which ponds and stock we are talking about), check out some Elkindo fish I photographed for sale in Holland last summer:
Some cool fish for sale in Holland, summer 2009
Whoever gets this fish at the price offered will have gotten an excellent deal!

I bought my dynamic red about 2 years ago for $1200 so $400 sounds pretty good to me. At that price a community would look pretty sweet. I am jealous of others red aros that actually look red.
That said, my aro has just started to get red on her scales, though she has quite a bit on her gills. I opened the blinds to let some sunlight into the tank, hoping that it would stimulate the aro to turn color. Within a week, she started to color up a bit. This may just be coincidence as my lfs suggested I keep her in a dark tank with black background. Who knows?
I guess I'll just have to be patient to see how she turns out, though I like her just fine all the same.

As far as I'm concerned, Lucky's is ruining the aro market in Canada.
Sorry for the threadjack, hope your aro sells quickly.

I think the reason why Lucky sells these reds so cheap is because they do not want to make the same mistake of having too many arowanas that they cannot sell because they become stunted due to poor nutrition and living conditions. If you've been there lately you will know what I mean. Most, if not all of their Reds (excluding the recent batches from DFI and Dinamika) are stunted.
I know what the cost is for importing these arowanas, and I can tell you that they are selling them with very little profit. Don't expect these prices to stick.

i wonder if it has anything to do with the building that Lucky's is in, is scheduled for demolition.
