Colorful Baby Silver Arowana

[toymullet]

I picked up a super small silver arowana from the petstore for 11$ and its been lke 2-3 months and he got super tick already around 5-6in. One thing i noticed is that he isn't just silver.. He has really bright green red and black lines on his fins and its starting to show on his scales is this normal? Im stoked that he is all colorful haha he needs to stop being a pussy tho.

Here are some pics taken with my g1 i finally caught him staying still after like 20 minutes of bs.

I also was wondering if the color will stay when he is med-full grown. I only see big really silver arowanas no big colorful ones =(

cute I wonder why I can't keep any fish that size anyway he'll become a real silver once he reaches 20"+ and the silver might gone ones he reach 30" depends on the care.

in time his colors will fade.. but for now.. he will either turn very white color or very green depending on the species...

It looks like he will be very white silver looking...

mine has the same coloration behind the gill plate. i wish i could take better pictures, they all turned out dark looking. it looks cool but i cant shoot pics like yours of its coloration. hopefully they stay neon for a while i kind of like it.
