its too perfect bro

you got a pic of one that has had surgery on the tail?

I think I just might have one to show..but that aro is in a display tank back in Singapore at my company....and that aro is a jardini.
 
that aro has awesome colors but doesn't look good with out the tail. I personally wouldn't buy that kind of fish. If there is no demand then they wouldn't do that to the poor fish.
 
bros, let me pop ur bubbles, it aint natural. it was removed, i think after harvesting, while it still had its yolk sack hanging. thats why there are no scars coz it was at its height of growth when the tail was surgically removed. just like how our wounds healed perfectly well when we were below 5 years of age. but fortunately, you dont see many asian arowanas like this, they are valued coz of the resemblance to the asian dragon....... which has a tail. i think this was just a one time attempt at producing heart shaped arowanas. i dont think it got good reps, as in this forum
 
I did have parrots like that. but I think this might be a mutation.?

You are absolutely right kriz. it is cosmetic surgery done at an early age to produce ugly looking things and hoping someone will pay thru the nose for it, same thing applies to deformed and hunchback aros, why do people keep them and put them up on a pedestal, calling them king aros?? these runts should be culled at birth
 
couldnt have said that any better Arofanatic! these guys should be stopped from this kind of abuse. but a correction on the "king arowana" part, king aros have a severe spoonhead, not tail-less, and is naturally sverely spoonheaded at birth. most kings are super reds, yet to see a gilden king
