The blue is a slight colour morph of the Black Aro, they use it as a marketing ploy to sell the same fish for more money, it is an O. Ferrerai the same as the Black. How much were they wanting for it??

There is a difference in colour between the young supposed blue and a black arowana but that fades as they grow and they grow into juveniles looking exactly the same, because they are. I have read it is to do with local factors where they are caught.
Over here in the UK they were charging stupid money for a Blue, I bought my black before they became rarer than hens teeth and it was only £30 more than the silver aro's

their is no such thing as a blue aro it is just a more mature black

sellers hold on to them until they grow out of the baby black and white colors so they can get more money for them

blue black its the same fish so dont pay anymore that a black for it

which ever way you look at it blue or black they are both becoming hard to find now

That's what I paid for mine, same size, also labeled Blue. Mine does have a blue tone to his fins. Great fish, you should buy it. $150 is a fair price.
