pressure_cooker;3097155; said:i think malaysian gold is the same as XB and pahang gold.. HBRTG is produced by crossing the XB to a RTG then inbreeding them over and over again. so i think that's why there is a HBRTG that has a full crossing of its shine ( due to the genes of XB ) but there are also HBRTG that has only a 6th level shine or has specks of gold in the back of a HBRTG. MALAYSIAN GOLD is not extinct.

Probaby even in captive, too, due to crossing with RTG. I saw a huge one at Sea World in San Diego back in 1995, but it's no longer there since 2002.WHITECJ2OW;3098135; said:are malaysian golds only extinct in the wild?

pressure_cooker;3098775; said:i don't know where you get the idea of the XB or malaysian gold being extinct. i frequently see alot of Xback arowanas in the nearby LFS that dont have a red tail. malaysian gold is just another term for XB or pahang gold. i always saw some 24k malaysian golden arowana that has no red tail.
Next time you see a 24K Malaysian Gold with absolute no red in the tail or finnage, make sure take a good picture, since I haven't seen one in a decade! 
jlnguyen74;3098794; said:Do your home work. Xback is just a production of Malaysian Gold. It's on the higher end of the batch, that look close to Malaysian Gold. Saying a Malaysian Gold is the other name of Xback is backward like saying father looks like son, instead of son looks like fatherNext time you see a 24K Malaysian Gold with absolute no red in the tail or finnage, make sure take a good picture, since I haven't seen one in a decade!
