Growth rate of the silver arowana

[Jardini 360]

Any one know whats the growt rate of a silver ? do they slow down at like 12" like their asian counterparts ?

 

[twin_caleb]

mine went from 5 inches to over 15 in about 9 months

 

[Bderick67]

Average growth for a silver is 1 to 1.5" per month until they are 24-25". At that point the growth slows to 1-2" per year.

This is an average, so some may grow slower, some quicker.

how to tell is its hs or snow or wtv ? mine is like realy red in the fins and nice sorta colourfull scale reflection-ness near the end of the tail.anything special ? lol

High shine is glossy silver, snow and platinum is leucistic, meaning its pure white with no other pigments except the black pupil.

does a HS have any normal silver arowana colours like the reddish fish ? is mine any special from the way i described it 8D
