Black or Silver?

[JayC74]

I rarely see Black Aros for sale in Hawaii. Silvers are always available and I find them quite attractive. I recently bought one that seems to have a pretty good disposition. It is about 7 inches now and is does not seem jumpy or skittish. I'm just hoping it won't develop drop eye. I know a guy who has two 3ft Silvers that don't have drop eye, so there's always hope.

Are you sure one of those aros isn't a black aro. Not positive through the tough viewing, but I swear I see bluish fins and maybe even orange tips to those fins when I look close. (bottom aro in last pic)

The shop owner said they were all silvers, could just have been the way the light reflected off their bodies, the tank was next to the front door. That one was still a bit young I think, maybe about 2ft.

Just playing devil's advocate here...but isn't it possible that the reason we hear more about silvers with DE is because there are simply more of them out there being kept by people. Example...On any given day, more Fords will bust their headlights than say a Porsche...simply because there are more Fords than Porsches.
Not saying a silver is a Ford or a black is Porsche, just statistics.

That's a good theory, because the total black arowana that bderick and t1karmann combine is not even close to a handful, and that plus "pictures from the Internet" are their statistic to come to their expertise!

Quite on the contrary! You just posted in the arowana forum, because of this thread...

My blacks got just as big as my silvers.
