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:


this is what i have been advising all along and i think dave had one of these blacks from columbia
 
I am interested in the Arowana how far are you from Encinitas! keep in touch Howie
 
thats ia a very old pic which i had to scan from a photo and no its not me its one of my kids

my point is i have kept black aros at all stages of their life and even black aros go throw the blue stage of life

it just seams strange that this so called blue aro was never found before until the ban was put on brazilian black aros so whats saying they just move them and export them from columbia which would kick up the price

and why dont we ever see small blue aros is it because they would be in the same penguin black and white clolors as a black baby aro

even black aros go through the blue fin stage

people who are paying silly money for the so called blue aro are just trying to justify the money they paid for them buy saying its a blue variant

just face it they are the same fish

I paid £90 for mine :)

thats a good price black aro money still you know its a black aro anyway
 
I remember those back in the 80's costing only $2.99 with the yolk sac...and around 10 to 20 for the larger juveniles...but i prefer the silver because the silver has nicer pattern than the black. the blacks looks nice while babies though...black wth a light yellow line across..then turns silver...

Don't u mean I know its geographic variant of the black arow :grinyes: ;)

Well you may know your rays mate but i know my aros very well and if thats what you want to belive then belive it

but i just seams to me its only people who have brought their black aro which was labeled as a blue that try to justify the price they have been ripped off with

i have seen a aro labeled as blue and one labeled black and their is NO diffrence at all when you put the 2 fish side buy side

if you do a search for the blue aro on the net the only thing you will find is the mistake that PFK done on the artical they done since that artical i have contacted Matt clark who will now admit openly thats their is no diffrence
