Swimming with dragons | Multi-Million Dollar Fish Farm | Witness

The highly sought-after Malaysian golden arowana fish has disappeared from the wild. Yet today in Malaysia, buying and selling of the arowana, also known as the ornamental dragon fish, has become a multi-million dollar industry. Over a decade ago, filmmaker Chew Han Tah learned of the dwindling number of wild arowana, and an obsession was born, much to the chagrin of his wife. Chew is exploring the potentially lucrative business of breeding arowana and is in the midst of moving his family to a new home so that he can upgrade his aquarium for his $30,000 worth of fish. In this very personal journey into the heart of Malaysia's flourishing fish business, we see what motivates collectors and investors, and what fuels Chew's dreams.

Phi Salaymang Yes, Germany invented Prozac and they make a lot of money exporting it to the USA, as the USA consumes 90% of the entire world's supply because of the high rates of mental illness ans depression. But no Scandinavians want to move to USA, and I don't know what Germany has to do with Scandinavia, maybe your education is not that good? The only people who want to move to America are Asians, Africans and Hispanics. They are harder workers and more intelligent than most Americans and the world wishes them well and much success in the USA. Hopefully their hard work and taxes will get America out of debt.

That was really sad because you can see how much the family loved those fish. You know a really good ending to this story would be to see this owner work towards starting a conservation farm that doesn't just supply arrowana for the industry but breeds them to be reintroduced into the wild in areas like that lake where they are going extinct and maybe name his business after "little red"..... Little Red Dragon Farm (or something like that).

THE ZOMBIE TRAINER

1) endangered
2) red aro are dificult to groom, it may take 5 to 6 years for them to go fully red, even some low quality super red may only turn orange when adult, the more red your arowana the more expensive they become.

obviously may not have been shown, but I didn't see the fish acclimate to the new water, plus they put all the fish into the tanks with the water they travelled with. which would have sedative in the water, combined with with all the other fish added the same way with the same water (with sedative). id imagine that was the cause of the fish dying, they was still getting medicated?

when pump oxigen to the plastic bag will cause the water PH change in
short to more than 7. Means if the journey to new place is not far,
better pump normal air and little oxigen. Temperature might not the main
issue, because malaysia weather is stable. And outdoor aquarium might
cause fish feel stress, because is too bright to compare with indoor and
too many movement object... For fish pond outdoor is ok, but aquarium
is not. And they also use the chemical to make the fish feel stress
free, but might be too much can cause side effect.

Cause of death:- 1- Water temperature
2- New tank got chemical
3- Transfer 50% of the old water in
4- No salt added/anti-Chlorine
5- Do not letgo the fish suddenly into a tank. Leave it for 1-2hrs to maintain temp and oxygen

and i dont use Salt when i do water change, or water conditioner, it only depends where you came from.

An opaque bag would have been less stressful, and they didn't even acclimate to temp/water - just put her from the bag to the tank. That's all just bad practice that probably killed her. Paint toxins would have killed the other fish in there too. So sad. Bad mistakes.
PoppingPepsi
PoppingPepsi - 7 years ago
It was most likely the paint toxin that got into the tank. more than likely the water was similar to the water they were using before and the temp wouldn't haven't killed her unless it was 10+ degrees or more difference.

when pump oxigen to the plastic bag will cause the water PH change in short to more than 7. Means if the journey to new place is not far, better pump normal air and little oxigen. Temperature might not the main issue, because malaysia weather is stable. And outdoor aquarium might cause fish feel stress, because is too bright to compare with indoor and too many movement object... For fish pond outdoor is ok, but aquarium is not. And they also use the chemical to make the fish feel stress free, but might be too much can cause side effect.

what you're saying is very correct, the owner did not let the fish acclimate to the temperature of the new tank and since hes babied little red for such a long time I'm almost positive her immune system was not very strong because she's been used to living in a perfect environment for 6 years. Factor that in with the stress of the trip and the fact that those movers looked like they poured way too little water and pumped way too much air in and you have a recipe for disaster.
Cruising the Waterways

firstly dave he put the arowana into a plastic bag as we all do, but he didnt cover it while transporting, not doing so can stress the fish, also when he introduced the fish into the new tank he didnt slowly add the water from the tank into the plastic bag. he just dumped it in, clearly the fish died from shock. im sure the water was fine as other fish where looking quite stable in the tank, tis a shame really. ive kept oscars and red bellies over 20 years i have a fair idea what im talking about, thirdly substrate is used for ecological reasons, not just planting, and is far beyond your statemant that its for beginners dave, what a flippant comment. you know you need minimum 180 gallon tank for your arowana when its fully grown?

It was absolutely the chemicals residue from the paints, paint thinners, etc that killed the fish.  And more of this guy's fish will die. All of them to be exact.  Powerful chemicals like the ones shown in his garage lets off airborne residue which enters the fish tanks via his oxygen feed source.  Immediate removal of all chemicals is a must, however, it may already be too late.  A real shame because she(little red) was a beautiful specimen and really for mating activities.  Lesson learned as with anything in life.  I am absolutely dumbfounded that he did not know that chemicals and fish do not match, and that its destructive nature does not have to be direct contact, that airborne introduction is just as deadly.  I hope he learns from this and continues his passion.

Johan Olsson not really.. mealworms contain lotsa nutrition and protein. The bad thing to feed ur arowana is gold fish bcoz it contains alots of fats and it can make ur arowana "drop eye" syndrome. The best way to feed the arowana is centipede and make the fish change color real quick. Small fishes is ok but it's really risky bcoz they can contain parasites to it.
Johan Olsson
Johan Olsson - 9 years ago
Recently, it emerged that these meal worms have no great nutrient. Hence, most switched on crickets, cockroaches and Zophobas.
It is true that the flour mask has a rather poor nutrition, especially craving animals purchasing the zoo deal. Besides this, one should bear in mind that the meal worm contains about 95% fat.

thats what happens when you dont slowly acclimate a fish to the new water. you cant just throw him in and expect him to survive that. the shock most likley killed it. you would think a guy who has kept fish as long as him would know better than to just toss a fish into different water without acclimating it first. 
frank Gurza

I had a connection like this to some of my fish, fish are a lot smarter then people think they are. they can be trained and taught to do things. My fishes died because the city where I was living one day decided to add chlorine and fluoride to the water. Not knowing the city did this I did a regular water change and my fish died. I don't know why the city did this. The water was fine before they added these chemicals into it. Now nothing can live and we are drinking this shit. Not only that but we are dumping this crap back into the water system. We need to remove chemicals from the water ill never forget my fish. Most people dont have a love for a fish or care about the fresh water system, but they love their dogs as if they are people which I think is even more weird, then having a passion for aquatic animals as a whole.

all arowanas are expensive but not all koi are. the majority are really cheap. every now and then an amazing koi might come along with perfect markings/colours and it warrants an expensive price tag.. but the same can happen with arowana, you get a perfect platinum arowana or really any "perfect" arowana and people will pay 8 figures im sure. i can see why arowana hold the title.

Only exceptional show Koi can compete with Arowana pricing. A normal grade Koi at the size of 30-50cm would not cost you more than $1000. Asian arowana babies easily go for a couple hundred, a healthy Asian Arowana 30-50 cm would cost you a few grand easily! High grade show Arowana's are most of the time priceless, people have offered up to 80 grand for Arowanas and theyve been declined. Each fish is beautiful in their own ways, but to be perfectly realistic Arowanas are considered the most valuable fish on the market. Its true that Koi have more variety and colour, but they are bred in mass quantities which further devalues them,

$50 dollars for a small one . 20 in a pond and you have 1000 ponds . this is $1mil worth of small fish . So it would be more because some of them are older

Your stupid. These are raised in tanks. They wouldn't survive in the wild. Smh. They wouldn't be able to eat cuz they're used to food comming from above and the water is a bit different. Learn more about a subject and then write something that is actually worth reading. Not some nonsense.

Arowanas have more chance to survive in the industry than they are in the wild. In the wild they will be subjected to foreign Thai and Indochinese poachers who would sell them in black markets. Plus, Malaysian quality assurance agency has recently drafted a national action plan for Malaysian Golden Arowanas. One of the key focus is to ensure vast gene pool for the species, aside from ensuring best quality arowanas are produced from the industry.
