Baby blacks or Silvers?? pics!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
hey guys sorry I haven't responded for a while. I emailed the seller and haven't received a reply which is strange since he's been very quick to respond. I have had silvers and they don't intrest me anymore. I loved my black aro. I have a feeling these will get sent monday and my email will be ignored so i guess we'll see. I have scoured the internet and I am 99% sure these are silvers.

That being said I have to say. I'm one of the longest lasting members here and I can remember when this forum was a very informative and polite forum. With this thread I have noticed it seems we have a large amount of know-it-alls here now that actually have no clue what they are talking about. I agree with a previous post here that no advise is better than bad advise. We all need to learn from this. I appreciate everyone that replied. Even those that were sure they were blacks but were offering their opinion politely. Know one here is 100% correct all the time. It's the people that belittle others because they think the have all the answeres and then end up WRONG that really **** me off. Again thank you all for your constructive help, right or wrong. I will let everyone know how this goes.

You just said you have zero experience with aros and haven't even seen a black in person yet. What experience? Whats your point?

I have experience studying them and can tell them apart in pictures.

This whole thread is pathetic in my opinion. The OP was asking for opinions and advice. Instead, the experienced and knowledgable members chose to use their experience to demean others with less experience.

I recently chose to get into Arowanas. I asked questions and was given great advice! But, this thread has me second guessing whether I will post any more Aro questions on MFK.

The truly sad part is, after 6 pages of replies, I don't see a firm answer to the original questions. I think the keyboard warriors need to calm down and actually try to help a fellow MFK member in need.
That's how it's always been in the aro forum and I think it's unlikely to change any time soon.

I am starting to see that. drgnfrc...you were one of many that offered me good advice and comments that I was referring to. Thanks again for your help. Now if the weather would only calm down so they can finally ship! I guess I don't have to worry about keeping an "egg sac Aro" anymore...the little guys are going to be half grown by the time they get here!

After seeing the pics, I agree, there's no way the OP's fish are blacks.
