An albino dragon fish priced at $50,000 USD was shown off in Can Tho Province, Vietnam.

This fish is called " Cá Bạch Long" in Vietnamese or "White Dragon Arowana" in English, and is seen as a symbol of luck, success and wealth. It is believed that keeping this fish indoors will bring good luck as well as wealth to the owner.

They are highly-priced depending on the size, however albino fish are prized and extremely rare. The fish in the video, filmed on October 5, 2019, is priced at $50,000 USD, however there are larger fish that are reported to have sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The normal coloured arowanas cost only a few dozen to a few hundred USD.

The rearing and tending of this fish is very difficult to require a clean environment as well as special food.
