4 year old chilli red
- Thread starter T1KARMANN
- Start date
Probably the most I have paid for any aro that's probably why I kept this one out of my 9 aro con
I was also one of the people who sold aro because it never crossed on a xback then this was my 1st ever red
It wasn't one of the crazy priced red like us$5000-8000
but it was a bit more than the £1200 backs I was used to buying
When I was sure I was getting a bigger tank than my 350 gal I knew I would have space for a red which can grow to 3 ft rather than a xback that will max out at 2 ft
They say reds mature at about 7 year so we will see with this one as I should have it that long and longer

You do know how the cert and tags work right
A lot of the very high grade aros are tag/chipped and place in display tanks at farms for people who want to paid big but that's the bit of the show room you see sometimes that's kitted out with leather chairs
The you get your Rtg and low grade reds and backs which work in a different way they have big vats full of this type of aro which are just about of export size which is 6inch but in most cases more like 4-5inch
With the lower grade stuff they are chipped/tagged to order
In other words it works like this
The farm gets a order in from Canada or the UK for say 20 reds and 20 rtg the boss then tells his man I want 20 rtg and 20 red ready to be shipped out
The man goes to the vat of red and pulls one aro out then chips and keeps going until he has 20 red he then does the same with 20 rtg
This is why you get any lower grade aro that maybe 6 inch but the cert date is 1 week old that's why if you go into a shop and they have a few rtg in the cert number chip numbers with most likely run in order like xxxxx001 xxxxx003 and so on
OMD.... you got an amazing tank mate.... one day i might come and see your tank and have a quick chat about my tig... that will be helpful though
