I was at my lfs and they had baby arowanas that had the penguin suit. They were marked as silvers, but for some reason i thought that the blacks were the only ones that had it.

Am i wrong?
 
the baby silvers i have seen are all silver, sometimes with yellow around the gills and pinkish fins....baby blacks are usually black and silver, and the black spreads through the fins as the grow.
 
baby silvers have a red or yellow ting around the fins and a spot near or on the gil
 
You are right the blacks are the only ones who have the penguin suit when young.. How much are they selling them for..
 
Keep an eye on them and wait till the yolk sac is gone and they are feeding, or buy quite a few and hope some of them make it and start feeding.

they are selling them for $6 but they have the yolk sack

Will you ship me as many of these as you can get!?
I would love to have another aro, a black would be perfect:D lol
 
black aro dont stay as small as you think hear is one i kept for 7yrs

the aro is in a 6x2x2ft tank but in the tank size that could mean anything i think its a 180 :D

Who said they stay small? lol
I know their potential.
 
I wish that my lfs would make mistakes... I alway look for them but haven't gotten lucky yet.
