It's funny you asked this.... I was at a convention over the weekend and I had a guy tell me that he kept a bunch of fih in an outdoor tank and in the fall when he brought them in they had great color..... infact he saig that they had the best color he had ever seen. Anyone have a ny thoughts on this?

Bro, try tanning with an Ocean Sun light tube. This light tube will give a kelvin of 10k which is able to tan your fish. Try it if your country is available.

Keeping them outside in ponds in sunlight or tanning them with special lights.

Yeah, but why?? Is there a purpose to tanning a fish? Does it make their color better or something? I dont get it. :redface:

yes, somewhat. i mean some would prefer a darker coloration for some scale patterns to show better. i mean, i myself would refer a darker arowana than a pale one
