Help Confirm My Black Arowana Please.

[tokyogasmask]

Been after an Arowana for my monster community project.
Thought about an Asian Aro, but I wouldn't want to spend all that money only for it to get damaged by the other tankmates (Emperor Snakeheads)
Silver or Black came to mind and in the end I decided to get a black (I love their dark metalicness as adults)
Well a few weeks back a friend said he has a juvi for me.
Today it arrived YAY!

* Could someone confirm for me that this is a Black Arowana, as it seems all the other pics of Juvi blacks I see they all have a gorgeous blue and white in the fins. Mine is a little blue, but very red.

Here are some (rough) pics from in the bag and in it's quarantine tank.

Thanks guys!

Does anyone know why mine has red trim and not blue like most the pics i see on the net? Will this blue come later?

It is about 3" by the way.

Your aro looks like any typical black for it's size. The other coloration in pics you were referring to is of larger black aros

Nice! 'Grats, you're lucky to get it. I've been searching for a black here for yonks and all I can find is a battered 6" juvie that's lost it's barbels selling for about US$125.
