Hi Guys,

Ive never posted any pics before of my super red aro.
I bought him 5 years back when he was a mere 6 inch juvenile.
Infact he was the first aro I got (never kept aros before).
Learnt alot about aro keeping through him. He was more than a pet, he is my buddy.
Right now he is 30 inches.
Will red aros grow after 5 year ?
Sorry for the blurry pic, took from my mobile.

All comments are welcome

Beautiful fish! After 5 years I'm pretty sure that's about as big as it will get. Fish do continue to grow but at a very slow rate once they reach maturity.

In regards to Red arowana, Ive never seen an aro which is red in colour in my country.
All of the red aros Ive seen here are yellowish to dark orange but not red.
Is there are high quality red aros (in malaysia, indonesia, singapore) which turns red (I mean real red) without tanning ?????????
Guys I know many people here are against tanning.
But I just wanna know is the effects of tanning is permanent or will it fade away after some time ?
Here are a couple more pics with flash.

Hope you guys like it

Tanning or not, you have a beautiful Aro.

Ive never tanned my aro.
Infact I dont know how to tan an aro in the first place.
Currently Im planning to get a new tank and this time I want to go for a Red arowana which turns red.
So thats why looking for some advice from the red aro experts in this forum.
