Collectible Aquarium Fish: The Platinum Arowana

Are you fond of taking care of aquarium fish? This article is for you. When we started to set up a simple aquarium, we asked our local dealership what kind of fish is the easiest to care, which fish requires a lot of attention and of course, whish fish is expensive. Within these series of questions, we are now taking care different varieties of Mollies, Betta fish and our favorite, we named him Ace, the Flower Horn.

I personally have endured all of the above, but for some reasons, my curiosity leans more towards petting fish, specifically the Flowerhorn.

By 1994, red devil cichlids (typically Amphilophus labiatus) and trimac cichlids (A. trimaculatus) had been imported from Central America to Malaysia and the hybrid blood parrot cichlid had been imported from Taiwan to Malaysia.
