Blue berry arrowana

[NajdanRW]

I saw a blue berry arrowana at my LFS, I did a little research and found that it could just be dyed.....? How can you tell the difference between that and a blue/black one? I'm unsure it's about 4 inches and is being dolf for 60 bucks good deal?

black/blue


silver

It's dyed. No fish store would sell a black as a blueberry. Black would be worth more also.

Gandalf is right on with his logic. Below is a pic of a 4" black/blue arowana(Osteoglossum ferreirai) for reference

The owner of that store is a member of this site. Asian Arowana are illegal. I have seen silver go from $30-70 depending on the store around here. Only seen Jardini around here once but it wasn't for sale. Never seen Black around here.

I paid $45 for my silver. He was about 4" when I got him. I live outside of Philly.

He is selling a 4inch silver for 35, it's very tempting lol

If you can properly house it why not, but if you can't then I don't recommend it.
