What is the difference between Black and Blue Arowanas? I want one for my 180 that my Tig is in. I have read that Blues may be from a different location than reg. blacks but are the same fish?? My LFS can order a 7" "Blue" for $200 or I can buy a 10" "Black" for $200 plus Fedex. Does anyone here have the lowdown on Blue Arowanas and could educate me? net searches produced very little info.
Difference between Black and Blue??

The "BLUE" & "BLACK" Aro are one in the same...As the others have said...Its a marketing ploy...They say its a "rare" Blue Aro, and mark it WAAAAY up....Some LFS people will even argue with you about that fact....I have gotten into it with a couple of them about this.
The Black Aro's actually go through a brown phase, and then a blue phase, and the to what we see as the adults. They are quite a unique fish!

Of course not...lol....They were really adamint(sp) on it being a "blue" aro...lol...
They said, it came into us labled like that, so it must be true! I even went into one store with a full color print out from a web site, showing the phases they go through...and NOPE, they would still not believe me....lol.....The mentality of some of these LFS people is so low....lol....
