looks like you got two jardini's man
 
seriously........ -.-
 
my goodness bro.....you gotta learn your fish!

1) how much did you pay for your "red spotted golden aro"?

2) in china - green aro (6") will cost $300-500rmb

3) red tailed golden aro 6-8" will cost min. $1500-2000rmb

i know this, cuz i am living in china, and go shopping with an lfs owner here in bejing.....

i aint' sure how your chinese is: but to help you just in case:

hong long = red aro (asian)
jin long = jardini
yin long = silver aro

the only other aro you may see in harbin is a green .....
 
also, tanks in china are CHEAP....

my advice to you - get to know your lfs owners - after a month (your fish will survive in your 80gal for am month) - given you have become friends, ask one of them to help get a tank made for you......

you should be able to get a 200gal with stand/wetdry filtration/etc.....for under 2000rmb.......

if you go used (find one) it could be much cheaper....some of my guys here would give me a used 200-250gal for 1250-1500rmb - that is with everything....

don't rush it in china - you will regret it

and - lets get a full tank shot! that is a load of aros!
 
you my friend have another jardini! lol

if u ever need to know difference from a jardini and a asian aro just simply look at its scales. :)
Jardini have 7 scales in a row and Asian aros have 5 scales in a row.
so all asian aros (green,gold,red etc..) have larger scales.

seriously though becareful with those two jardinis you have, i have a feeling ones going to be hurt.

lol i know hong long and yin long.. but i didnt know jin long meant jardini.. thought it meant gold :] cuz (jing) = gold!!
 
what im going to do is.. get rid of the 2 jardini's somehow.. or keep them in a different tank.. and get 1 red aro.. hrmm.
