I wish that I knew and could give you some good info, but we are here in the good old US of A and we have no business knowing this stuff anyway. ;)

Its actually a little controversial Lol high back is really only a rtg with extra level of shine which just depends on its genes. Many people buy rtg and get that extra level. Just you would hope that the high back your gurentee that extra level

Sorry I shouldn't say good quality RTG cause you can have quality with the normal shine level also.

It's hard to tell them apart when they are young, even in person. You can put a single hb with a bunch of rtgs (the same size) and you wouldn't be able to tell which one is which. Personally, i wouldn't buy anything less than 8". That way, you can have a better idea of the fish's potential, and you can see wether they will develop de or plj. Goodluck!

Gold aros ie red tail gold HBRTG or xback don't get PLJ as often as red aros

PLJ isn't something that develops with age it's normally always there even at 6" which is the legal size to sell Asian aro you just need better eyes to see it on a smaller fish

Drop eye is dam ugly and I couldn't live with it PLJ isn't as ugly and doesn't bother me as much
