Hi there! Ive seen a lot of pictures and real life O. Ferreirrai.
Buuuut......coloration seems to differ.........a luuuut, u see wat i meen?

check this 1 out: http://www.catfish-paradise.ch/images/poissons/xl/ferreirai.jpg


nice blue scales and immense blu fins, with a pale yellow band.
But i have seen 1 with with a super red band

Also....the thing with the scales n fins.....an issue of light perhaps? or is there different kind of ferreirai out there????

More whiteish scales, not as immense blu fins but with more fiery coloration on the so called fin-band.

Reflexions plz

That's a juvenile black aro which was probably around 7-8 inches. They get better color and when they get up to 12"+ they start to get almost looking like a silver aro but a bit pale blue find and yellow tip.

The tip of the fins were bright red i tell ya, apart from this it was typical ferreirai.....with the blu fins and so on. It looked super amazing!

This guy still don't get it

They first started black with yellow or white bar. Then starts to lose that and the body turns to steal silver with bluish shine. The fins are electric blue with golden yellow tip. As they grow older the blue fins fades a little and the yellow golden tip starts to get smaller till it will have a whie tip when they get to 20"+.

Here was my black aros when it was small

Now this is what it look like now.

This was my former 25"+ bigger one.

red band = silver

Wrong.

My black had red edges to the fins at 14 inches
