Hey went to a local fish shop today, and they had two aquariums with two 'silver arowana' in them. but when i looked in the tank they looked nothing like the pictures of juvenile silver arowanas id seen. They were about 6-8 inches long they had totaly diffrent finage for a silver. they were blackie blue with a few yellow dots on the tail. the finage was the same shape as an asian arowans.
i couldnt take any pictures as i didnt have a camera, and was just wondering would anybody be able to ID it from the description.
if possible post a picture of whatit may be and how much it should cost.
thanks for any help.

possibly a Jardini. If thats the case they go for about $60 around here. I've seen them as low as $30
