Complete Silver Arowana Price List : Check Size and Cost Here

There are several parameters that decide the Silver Arowana price. Size, colour, breed, scales and several other factors are to be taken under consideration. Also under some circumstances cultural and regional believes and customs play a big part in deciding the offer price a particular fish. In this article, I will document the latest market trends for asking price for different categories of silver Arowana. I will try to give a detailed overview of our topic of concern on different aspects like the age, length, size, scale count, colour and different other parameters. Let us now work out details of the Silver Arowana price list.

Silver Arowana is the most common Arowana fish subspecies that appear in the aquarium trade. As have mentioned earlier in the introduction the silver Arowana fish price is determined by various factors. Let us have a look at all possible options available in the market.

Baby Silver Arowana price.

If you are in the market asking for an Arowana it is most likely that the seller will show you this fish. baby Arowana is the cheapest of the whole Arowana world. a specimen of length 4-6 inches will fetch a cost anywhere between 15-20 $ around Rs. 1000 to 1500 in Indian currency. in wholesale, these may come anywhere in between 8-10 $. final cost offered to the customer is dependent on several factors like transportation cost, housing cost, terminal loss compensation, added profit and several other overhead expenses.

This particular Arowana will be of the lowest quality products to address the mass demand of Arowana fish. as the name suggests the primary colour will be silver but the above-mentioned quality will have a tint of reddish-brown colour at the edge of each scale. Along with this the outer edge of dorsal and pectoral fins, tail and fins will have redlining and this will darken as the fish will grow in an adult.

Young Silver Arowana price.

Young Silver Arowana, a silver Arowana is considered young up to the length of 18 inches, so let us talk about fishes falling in this limit. under this category there are further three subcategories let us discuss them one by one.

7 to 10 inches Silver Arowana fish price: a specimen under this limit will demand a wholesale price of 15-25 $ ( 1100-2000 rs)  with any specimen close to 10 inches costing more. in a similar fashion, retail prices will be around 30-50$ (2000-3500 rs). Please note that the retail price is dependent upon several factors so these may vary from person to person and location to location.

Places far away from the breeding sites will sell silver Arowana at way higher price than that of retailers near any Arowana breeding farm. next is 12-18 inches silver Arowana. the price of silver Arowana in this is the highest. I haven’t seen any retailer selling a specimen bigger than this. in this category also there are three subsections, up to 12 inches, up to 15 inches and up to 18 inches. All these three categories command a different price. let me give you an approximate idea of wholesale prices of each category.

12 inches Silver Arowana price. this category covers 11-13 inches length. this length fetches a higher price in the wholesale market to about $30 ( Rs. 2500). accordingly, the retail price after all overhead expenses will start at around $45-50 (Rs. 4000). a retailer may always increase the price according to the demand. these are base prices at places nearer to breeding farms. the rarity of fish and increase in distance will always add up to the final price. usually, a foot-long silver Arowana will go for $60-75 (Rs. 4500-5500/-) at high demand aquarium stores.

15 and 18 inches Silver Arowana price. both of these sizes are extremely rare to find in retail stores. mostly such specimen is brought by retailers on the confirm order by customers. An Arowana in this category will cost around $40 (Rs. 3600/-) for 15 inches to $70 (Rs. 5000/-) for 18 inches long silver Arowana in wholesale and $70-80 ( Rs. 5500-6500/-) for 15 inches and $100-125 (Rs. 8000-10,000/-) for 18 inches specimen in retail. Still, these are just relative price ranges and at the end, it depends upon the retailer how much does he quote after meeting all overhead expenses and adding profit to that limit.

Certified Silver Arowana price.

Silver Arowana from certified Arowana breeding farms. If you are opting for a certified Arowana you will get a very good quality specimen but you will have to pay close to three times the payments mentioned in the above cases. You will get a micro-chipped fish with a legal certificate and the colour will also be very bright and uniform across the scales. The red colouration that develops on the edges of fins and tail will also be much less than that of low-quality non-certified specimens. Of course with the price, all legal issues will be covered and you will get a visibly better fish for your aquarium.

Price of highest grade Silver Arowana/ Platinum Arowana.

If you are not new to fish keeping then at some point of time you might have searched for the most expensive aquarium fish ever sold. Most expensive aquarium fish ever sold was a super platinum Arowana that went to grace a home for $400,000 (Rs. 3,20,00,000).

Yes, that costs more than an average house or a premium luxury car, damn! That super platinum Arowana was an extremely refined highest-grade Silver Arowana. Still, at a much lesser price, you may get a platinum Arowana if your retailer can arrange one for you. I would not be able to quote a price for this particular category because of the uncertainty involved.

Please contact your nearest reputed aquarium fish dealer that agrees upon to arrange such a beauty. With the platinum Arowana, there is just one in a million options that a specimen could achieve such brilliant shine over perfect whitish silver colour. Breeder sometimes spent years of pairing and carefully selecting and rearing particular specimens with utmost care. If somehow they are blessed with the brilliance of super-refined Silver Arowana they are sure to quote a very heavy selling price.
