Wow Justin! Those are really small, judging by the size of the yolk sack. I'm 99% sure those are black aros, though silvers aro this size look extremely similar and most people mistake them as blacks. Silvers don't have the half moon behind the gill(have a dot instead). You should see them get darker black and brighter yellow as the yolk sack disappears.
BTW, I'm very jealous
Good luck.

Good luck.Thats the problem I was running into, you see some photo's of silver fry and the look very similar to these. I started searching photos using the scientific name and found some great pics that look just like these guys. I feel a lot better about it now. Now if they get here alive and healthy I think I'll be in good shape. Thanks again Brian
I don't see how you have made any point
All the links and pics you have posted after your original pics are the exact same just your 1st pic the tank glass was dirty the water looked rubbish not to mention the pic not being the right way up
The aros in your 1st pic may have just landed and dumped in the tank many factors can of made them look washed out
I can't see how anyone can get the 2 mixed up if you were unsure do a search for silvers with you'll sac then you will not get confused

I don't know what would have been so hard about sayin "hey man they look like blacks, good luck!" Like most of the other members here. Instead you decide you need to attack my knowledge of the subject. I asked a simple question and from the rest of the replies I got simple anweres.

Sorry Justin, After looking up some pics I am leaning more towards these being silvers. I thought only the blacks had the half moon and the silver had a spot. But after looking at sbuse's 10 baby aro I believe I was wrong.

Yes, Lord of Clean Water...It is okay for you NOT to answer a question if you have found yourself getting up on the wrong side of the bed. The world won't end and the fish won't die without your input.
I know NOTHING about arowana's, but I have had dealing with baby silvers with the yolks still attached...
I wholesale ordered fish with another person and they ordered 100 silver aro babies- when they came in, they still have the yolk sacs. (none of them survived past a month)
But, from my experience, I can tell you that they don't look alike- this is just my opinion.
I think everyone on here was trying to warn you that you are almost indefinitely setting yourself up to lose money with them being so young right now. I don't see why you can't ask the person to hold them a bit longer until they would be less fragile.
No one is giving attitude, and no one is asking for it in return. If you don't want our advice/input then simply don't post on a public forum.
