All the "colored" ones I've seen are generally more expensive, bred specially, and available only in other countries. Otherwise? I really don't know.

Asians may be illegal in your area. They're very hard to get, but they're out there. Lots of different colored jardinis.

not bred specially...just different species.

Gold, Red, Green...are all of the Asian Arowana species (Scleropages formosus).

"Blue" normally = Juvie Black Arowana

Jardini's and Leichardties have several slight color variants, but nothing too different.

Silvers are all pretty similar for the most part...

Then there is the African...they are pretty much just brown in color.

...and Asian Arowana's are illegal to own/possess in the USA.

LOL! No problem! Nowdays with all of the mislabled fish in stores it's easy to get the wrong impression/info on a fish. It seems like they try so hard to market fish that they don't even care if the info is valid.
