Jardini Arowana @ 14-15"
Eating
Seams healthy
Open Red sore on Pectoral Fin
Treating with salt and Melafix

Purchased a couple weeks ago, he was already dark. Added black substrate and got even darker.
I can not figure out if he is sick or just a dark Jardini? (never seen one this dark though)

Someone else here had a black jardini too. Very nice pick up! One of my dream fish.

Thanks!

but I'm just hoping he isn't sick and that's why he is darker? otherwise his color is very sharp and vivid, not faded at all
 
Nice dark jardini , what was the tank like you got him from ? Black bottom , back and sides ? If so itll probably lighten up unless you do the same , if it doesn't you've found one of the rarer dark jardini
Either way it looks a nice fish :D
Stingray steve has got a nice black jardini , I'm sure a few other members do too

my poor man's arowana. Had him for almost a year now and his colour didn't fade. The script along the body/fins is bronze and black on the body is shiny black.

you may need to observe it if it's really black one as some black jardini Ive seen became black due to the dark/black substrate. I took a risk when I got mine but it's a good thing he is still black and well worth the money I spent for it.
 
Stunning :thumbup::D

Likely dark phase due to background. Should lighten up once in some neutral colors. Nice fish.

I'm curious about that... So if it's caused by the background color is it stressed out from being surround by the black. What in nature would cause it to turn black like that?
