I got him because he was the whitest one of all and his head shape is very much resembles what they call a spoon head aro. What do you guys think? No Hating! ThnxBai!
High Shine?

I don't think this is what in the trade is commonly known as a "High Shine", it looks very much like my plain old Silver.
It has the blue and pink striped patterning on the Dorsal and Caudal fins and scale pigmentation. Also, the barbels in the first photo look like they have dark coloring where High Shines that I have seen have all white barbels.
Additionally, if you look at photos of Platinums and snowflake Arowanas they typically do not have "spoonhead" like Chili Reds and XBG.
Wish I could deliver better news for you, but your Aro (which seems to be a very nice specimen) is no different than 100s of others

This guy really does stand out from the rest of silvers. Too bad you all couldn't see him in person. He, in my opinion is one of the best looking silvers high shine or not.
that's a great picture. I know for sure mine is going to look really similar. I will take more pictures when he gets a little larger.
