Says it's an Asian, I think it's more likely an Australian, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to ID it. Sent the guy an email telling him to be careful because Asians are illegal in the states.

diffenitley a jar u can see the stripes on his gill plates just hopping for some extra money by calling it an asian

Jar indeed, seven rows of scales. Nice looking fish too.

Hope he gets investigated for advertising an Asian aro.

I figured as much.

I increased the brightness and this is what I see:



I see some bright "specks" at the tail and so I think it is more likely to be an Australian rather than asian arowana.

The picture is really bad quality and I cannot be really sure.

There are videos of jardinis at Youtube. For example:

So, it think it may be a jardini.

I missed the second pic (Source:

) at the website. Now that I clicked on it, I am see clearly from the body scales and gill plate that it is a jardini, definitely not asian.
