Do these aros exist? or photoshopped?

^ Ok i see where you're coming from, in the first picture even without zoom you can see fuzz around the outline of the fish.
As if its been cut from one image and pasted on to a new background.
It's still a real fish though IMO although my opinion is far less technical or photo savvy.

They're fake pictures. Often times bad quality is introduced to make the picture appear real or as if they look fake because of the bad quality.

not likely, if they already captured a picture of a fish like that in that angel with that kinda lighting, why would they need to move it to a plain and rather bland background?

also, unless they took it from a white background tank it would be extremely hard to crop out of a real picture and there would be plenty of nip lines, but why would they crop it from a white tank to paste it onto another white tank?

OH, wait a sec, just read the credits to the first pic. it was made by Nanconnections and Aro4u. they are arowana computer artists. case closed. they even have the gallery no. of the picture.

the second picture is obviously fake though. it wasn't pasted so its in its original layer, and when do you get a plain blue background like that, no lighting and no darkened arowana from the lack of flash, and no shadow on the back from the presence of flash. also the pixels come up red green and blue. impossible from a life photo which has hues of grey and white. and don't tell me his tank is 100 miles long with an endless back.

Stab in the dark but other fish? Dark background with the right lights will enhance the colours but won't look as good as white backgrouds for sales purposes. I don't see why anyone would bother creating a computer generated image of a fish breed when they could just google and find an image of the real thing.

are you foreal? why do you keep fish when you can go to the zoo?

the answer to that is one in the same. they are artists who like to generate fish. go to their website aro4u.com they are all about arowana computer graphics.

oh, and depending on where ur from the site might come up hindu or mid.eastern something or other. for the hindu just translate it with freetranslation.com.

what they do is they compare their CG arowana to the real ones. some of the pictures look extremely real while others are obvious. they are graphics geeks. of course they will look real. lol. but if your eye is trained like mine theres just no way you can't see a fake picture from a real one.

this are good quality fish taken with a high quality camera, there are also other goldies or SR that has very intense coloration than those fish.. if you check the asian arowana entries in the recetnly held aquarama 2009 you can see alot of impressive XB's and SR's

can someone then post a real blue base pic?
and pricing?

it depends on the size and farm of the arowana, there are alot of farms that specialize on crossbacks. you can go and check the asian arowana sites there are alot of BBXB there and even some vendors here have alot of BBXB that you can choose from. someone posted here a XB that has a very intense base color you can check koji's blu..blu..blue XB thread.
