[The African Tiger]

Anyone know the exact number of how many "types" of Asian aros exist? Or a rough estimate of how much? And which type would be the most expensive?

sure... the cross back as well as the red are going to run the most some times a good red will be more then an xback but ussually the xbacks fetch more loot. Then we have the rtg or red tail golden a respectable fish but no red or x back. then we have a yellow tail or 2nd grade red this is a red breed to a green can grow into a nice fish but ussually washed in comparison with the red,xback or the rtg. Then we have the green the most cost effective of the formosus still an asian and no sloutch when it comes to the fish keeping world. see you can buy 100 babies and never get that amazing adult red or xback which is why the great adults cost so much and an rtg or a green tend to always be in the same ball park there is less variation in grades a good rtg is the same as a good rtg lol but a good red is not even the same game as a great red same with a cross back !!!!from good to great is a big change in price and quality easy to notice with the trained eye

only 1 type of asian arowana exists scleropages formosus alsthough there are a few colour types like advised above with some variations on colours too with the selective breeding etc thaty goes on.
most expensive probably a platinum xback or something like that.

basically classified under 3 categories....Gold, red and green....there are many names given due to from diff farms....so it may be confusing....but actually asian aros are still red or gold or green..
