"red 2" can have two different meanings: either a banjar red or else a "normal grade" or sub-premium grade red. What you have in your photo is not a banjar red. It looks like a very nice normal grade red, tending toward chilli colouration. I'm assuming the base scale colouration is not even all the way to the tail? I also think you are using some kind of tinted light? If so, that is likely adding to the orange/red effect. In either case, it looks like a great fish and you must be very happy. Did you raise it from small size? Which farm is it from?

I’ve heard that if you feed them a lot of krill then it’ll slowly turn them red a little bit. I know someone who did that with their silver aro. Not sure about Asian aro though
