Same species different variant. EZ already told you the deal but you kept harping on the issue. He hates skeptics and is very confident of his products.
Blue/Black Aro discussion
- Thread starter TheFishWrestler
- Start date
not to mention a total dick too. ive seen his other threads/posts. one thing is being confident in what you sell, another is being a rude prick. the OP mentioned in that thread that he was interested in finding out more info, and the sellers response was basically F off, either buy or move on. that place is full of people like that and is the sole reason why i dont visit that dump of a forum.Scorponok;4094454;4094454 said:
Thanks for the pics guys. Thats all I wanted. I was really just trying to learn what the difference is. Not trying to be rude. I just think that if you are going to make a bold statement like this is the first time these fish have been exported in 15 years. You should be able to show some sort of proof of the difference.
I am with you on this one. The pics only show that juveniles are shiny with an orange fine, and adults have that dull color.

Thanks Jose. I probably will not be visiting this site anymore either. There is no reason to be rude to a potential customer.
Only difference is the level of maturity, this is what makes for the color variants. They will all end up looking the same if you provide the same lighting.
The pics really show nothing but large adult blacks out of water and young black aros under water.

IMO Black and Blue Aros are the same species and same fish. The blue just gives the blacks a fancy name and LFS's usually jack the prices on them.
arowana2010 are you trying to state something? Seems you have tried to quote me, matter of fact your posted the same thing twice.
Why did you hilight the word black?
Maybe you are unclear. There is only Osteoglossum ferreirai, commonly known as black arowana and now within the past few years blue arowana. As I stated before the pics provided show large adult Osteoglossum ferreirai (black arowana) out of water and young Osteoglossum ferreirai(black arowana) within a tank.
Hope this clears any confusion you may have. As for your inability to use the "thread tools" provided, well maybe you can start a new thread on that. Then again you may not be able to start a new thread

nobody is saying theyre two different species and it is not uncommon for fish of the SAME species to look entirely different depending on locale. take cichla for example. cichla orinocensis from venezuela and colombia look entirely different from orinocensis from brazil. why do you think cichla guys get so riled up over orinos from rio negro in brazil? because they look very different from the orinos that are commonly seen in the hobby. nobody argues that they are different species, just different variations, and that is what the seller on WW is saying.
i dont see what's so hard to understand about that. as for the pictures, those are the only ones i could find. i referred back to those because i remember seeing them a while back and thinking to myself how different those brazilian aros look with their black fins and gunmetal bodies.
if anybody has more pics, by all means, post them. but for the time being i stand by there are two different color variations of o. ferreirai. NOT TWO DIFFERENT SPECIES, BUT TWO DIFFERENT COLOR VARIATIONS.
