Which brings me too something else I notice with some blacks. In photos and a few videos of blacks I see, I notice that some of them look like they have a faint reddish eye, like the one in the pic that Anne put up. But some others don't, in some period of their life do they get a slight red eye?
This is what I read on the page...
This fish gets its common name of Blue Arowana from the blue sheen the fish has from its scale when under lighting. The blue is a pearlescent blue that reflects from the body as it moves, it is a natural color and as such it is not an intense blue. A graceful swimmer that spends much of its time near the surface, the Arowana will also jump, so a really good aquarium cover should be used. While it prefers live food, it will sometimes adapt to pellet foods when kept in the aquarium. Safe only with other fish too large to swallow, you should avoid fin nippers that might startle the Arowana causing it to try to jump and crash into the top cover. In the wild, the male will mouth brood the eggs for 50-60 days before it releases the babies that are already about 4 inches long.
The pic on the page...looks to me like a black aro that was run a few times through adobe photoshop. The only 'blue' aro I have heard of is actually the black aro.

Yeah I was just think it was lighting too. Hey thanks Bderick67 for the clear example.
