Do wild rubies, golden dragons and blue arowana still exist? Where are they all distributed?

Turning to the origin history of arowana, its origin history is much earlier than the dragon in our ideas. As early as 345 million years ago, the families of these slave families Osteoglo-ssidae were already active in Gondwana waters! Later, with the crustal movement on the earth, Gondwana ancient continent was torn into several large pieces! Formed today's "new continent" such as America, Africa and Australia. , and bone tongue fish naturally scattered things. The reason why arowana is labeled with adjectives such as ancient or living fossils is not entirely because of its age. In fact, arowana belongs to the most evolved true bone net. Chondroid fish are mostly primitive in classification, which is ancient because it has many anatomical features that only primitive fish have, the most obvious of which is the structure of its mouth.

Later, experts and scholars from some countries discovered other arowana species in Vietnam, Malaysia Peninsula, Sumatra, Bangka Island, Borneo and Thailand, so they divided arowana into arowana, orange arowana, arowana, white arowana, arowana, arowana and black dragon fish. The real introduction of aquarium as ornamental fish began in the United States in the late 1950s, and it was not until the 1980s that it gradually became popular all over the world. Because of its two beards, shiny scales and ancient life experiences, people naturally associate it with the mysterious dragon and call it "arowana".
