how green do indonesian green arowanas become?

[biboybaka]

i saw one at lfs for relatively cheap price about 5 inches more or less. said its an indo green but doesnt look green at all to me. the scales werent as prominent as i expected too... anyone has pics of a mature one? i have seen a really shiny green arowana on a magazine before. if thats the same kind im buying it for sure.

buy it, i'm sure that the colors will show MUCh better as it get older.

they stay green.. but not gumby green on anything.. its a light shade of green at best.. they do however get bright green "eye shadow".. if you are wanting it to be a green version of a red arowana you are in for a great big letdown..

Yeah, I find "silvery-purpleish" to be more accurate...

yeah the one i saw on the magazine was very green this cant be the same.

are the fins of indo greens normally yellow, orange, and red?

No, they're grey and maybe a tint of green. When there is color, it's usually cross bred.

I like greens for their prominent horse shoe patterns. If you're not going to be satisfied, I say save some more bucks and go for the rtg

I think thats a banjar red, or 1.5 red aro.
