ID platinum silver arowana

[Tendou Souji]

I'm going to acquire a silver arowana from a friend of mine and here is how it looks like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3I727NqCHQ Can anyone identify if this is a platinum silver arowana? Thanks in advance.

i don't think so, it look like the light is making it look platinum.

try film it without the light.

it still a nice fish, i would get it anyway if the price was right

i believe it may be a high shine but the light could be misleading.

Ya looks like what is called a "high shine" though with the aro in the vid it could just be the effect of the intense lighting. Do you have a video of it in dim light?

 

[Tendou Souji]

What makes you all think so besides the bright lighting? Do you all see any colors on it besides silver?

Red tint around fins. Anyways, anyone care to mention the aro isnt even white? It's just glossy silver? Which means its not platinum. If you are to take a look at actual platinum pics, they are completely snow white, not glossy silver.

yes, that's why we both agreed it is most likely a HIGH SHINE and NOT a platinum

Wouldn't the price of a platinum distinguish it from a "regular" silver...

in most cases yes but i suppose mistakes can be made, the same way ST's can be sold as IT's once in a blue moon.

Its a very nice looking silver aro.... Notice the dull silver color on top of its back, don't thinks its a platnium or snow white.
