Blue Arowana

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
their is no such thing as a blue aro they are just black aros the whosalers have grown on a bit to get a highr price

if their is such a thing as a blue aro then show me one with a yolk sack and then the truth will be out its a black

dont get conned the blue black rip off has gone on long enought
 
i thought blk arrowana were illegal to export they the exporter found a way around it by labeling them as blue arrowana.

LFS near me sell thems for $300 also, i just rolled my eyes at them when he told me and walked off. :screwy:

once full grown, they will look very similar to the silver arrowana except no drop eye which is common among silvers.

you gusy should read the whole thread i am not saying that there is a species known as the blue aro but there is a population of blacks in a certain geographic location that are alot more blue in coloration and these ones are known as the blue aros

or the black aros are moved to a diffrent location before shipping to avoid the ban

blue black they are the same i kept a black aro for 7yrs in a 6x2x2ft (to small i know ) but i saw all the stages of its life and yes at some stages it did have blue fins but it was still a black it will all depend on the water conditions its kept in

its just one big rip off

hears my black

Blues are imported from Colombia, the blacks used to always come out of Brazil but there have not been many in recent years. The blues are geographic variant of the black arow O. ferreirai & the Colombians have decided to call them blues which makes more sense as they do have a blue hue
IME the Colombians retain the blue more as they mature :grinyes:
