i really don't know what you're trying to share.. why do i need to take a picture of the fish that LFS are selling? you can look at your own computer and you can see alot of malaysian golden that don't have red tail or whatever.

or are you trying to say that farmers have infused the blood of a RTG to todays xbacks so that is the reason why xbacks have red on their tail? you only saw 1 actual xback/malaysian gold arowana and you say that they're extinct. try going to malaysia or singapore or any other asian countries then say if malaysian gold/xback is really extinct. there are arowanas that throw odd colors so that is why there is a red tailed xb or a cross back that dont have a red tail.. it is same as breeding gamefowls breed two yellow colored chickens and there is a percentage that 1 of their offspring will throw a red, white or even whatever color nature wants.

MALAYSIAN GOLDEN IS JUST ANOTHER TERM FOR XBACK OR PAHANG GOLD or vise versa.
That's the thing. Whatever xback I've seen on computer or in person nowaday has red in the tail, include AAAA Golden head Xback. That's why I asked if you can take a picture of the one that has no red on the tail the next time you see it. BTW, i didn't just see one Malaysian Gold. The one I saw at Sea World was the last Malaysian Gold that has no red in the tail.
In case you don't know, no arowana, or anything that just throws odd color, unless it's a recessive gene like Albino, or probably Platinum, but not red in the tail. That's the taint of crossbreed. You won't see a purebred Maltese give birth to a black/white Maltese, since there is no such thing is a pure black/white Maltese, unless the parents were cross breed with other type of dog like Shi-tzu. Go back and read my response. Xback is a production of Malaysian Gold. And yes, they cross the Malaysian Golden with RTG, thus, here come Xback, HBRTG, or RTG in the batch, depend on whether the babies look more like father or mother. 15 years ago, the term Xback or HBRTG were not even exist. I'm not sure if you were into Arowana at that time, or still in diapers, since the way you say that Malaysian Golden is another name of Xback give me a feeling that you have no idea of Arowana 15 years ago

Or as a matter of fact just do an internet search and you will find many farms that are breeding true golds.

Did you see the red on the anal fin, or pectoral fin? :popcorn: I attached two pics from the site you refer for you to take a look again! :popcorn: They're sure stunning Xback, but then, still has red in the tail

i really dont get it, why would you say that malaysian golden is extinct, try posting that in arofanatics and they would make a laughing stock out of your ideas being an xback crossed in a RTG, ask them that malaysian golden is just another term for XB, or pahang gold, the term malaysian golden is still used today as term referring to XB or pahang gold, they used the term malaysian gold to make it more easier to understand where this type of golden arowana came from XBACK= malaysian golden. RTG= indonesian golden.

i really don;t know what you are talking about from your response it seems that you really saw 1 xback and you have a little understanding from them. malaysian golden have a full crossing since the begining of these species, the reason why wild malaysian goldens have a slow crossing is due they are exposed all of the time to sunlight since they are living in a natural enviorment. try putting them in a enviroment were they are not tanned or exposed to heavy lights for a long period of time.
 
are you stupid or what? hes trying to say Malaysian Golds are the Full Gold Arowanas like gold fins gold everywhere not a single red,and ppl who use XBs as MG are wrong
and XBs are hybrids also i think lol
 
Okay here's pictures...and yes it is Xian Leng

hayyyssss... full gold= xback arowana= malaysian golden or malaysian golden= full gold= xback arowana or xback arowana= malaysian golden= full gold.

XBACK arowanas are produced by two malaysian golden or the other way around ( depends on your understanding )

there are xback/malaysian golden that has a red tail while some do not, and still they are xback or malaysian golden.

now explain why crossing a RTG to a XB would help increase the shine of a XB arowana? go ask a asian arowana farmer about that. XB a hybrid, i dunno about that.

todays xb is still a malaysian golden improved and bred by the asian arowana farmers based on the desire quality of the farmer or the buyer and even the trend, maybe in the future they will once re introduce the classic looks of asian arowana ( if asian arowana fans would want that )

malaysian goldens today are improved over the classic malaysian goldens by selective breeding and inbreeding by asian arowana farmers. still they are malaysian goldens, or xb or pahang gold or gold gold. or whatever name you want to call but at the end of the day it is still a malaysian golden.
