This picture is indeed real. It has been reposted numerous times on the arowana forums of MFK. They are known as Lion-Head Arowana or something like that and its a deformity of their gills and face. There is this other specimen where the face is bloated with a lot of "bubbles" under its skin to the point where it resembles a lionhead goldfish, which I'm assuming where it got its name. Very disgusting and it doesn't get any better every time i see it.

Holy cow, I made my post as a joke, but it's (partially) true?!

OMG that is so gross, that still shot is all I can take, I refuse to click on the video...I seriously vomited in my mouth a little....why on earth would anyone EVER want this fish? I have to think it's probably painful for the poor arowana as well....yuck.
