I'm willing to bet it's a silver, they just look too similar at that size, and from the description that you gave, such as the "teal" shine makes me think that it's a silver. Post up pics when you get it. Even if it is a silver that's still a good price though... A good way to tell is if it has droop eye or not. If it does then it's a silver. Also, black are A LOT more slender than silvers too.

Droop eye and body size is not a good dertemination.

These depend on how the aro was kept. Look at Rockygoldy's black... has droop eyes and a huge mass...

Actually that's not true, sorry. Black aros have a much more narrow build, and droop-eye is a result of captive breeding within a shallow gene pool. I'm actually tempted to say that Rocky's is a silver, but it is tough to say at that size. I don't know ANYONE that has ever seen a black with droopeye, neither have I heard of one having it. The same goes for jardini, africans, and leichardtis, as they're not being captive bred in a large way yet.

The droop eye explanation u have is a very daring statement.

Noone has ever had the answer to that prob. Only theories.

And just to add a point. I have 2 captive bred asian aros that have NO droop eye. And i dare say they aren't from a very wide gene pool.

As for the body mass, if the fish was very well fed why couldnt it be bigger?
Not everythng goes by the book.
