Is there somewhere on the web to find out how to id arowanas? I got a Jardini the seller said it was a cross back or x back i forget but im just wondering ..
Thanks

Cross-backs are Scleropages formosus, not S. jardini.
Just google them both, they are easy to tell apart. The Asians have much bigger scales and a higher body.

not different types of jardinis but their are two species from Australia jars get more color as they get bigger. jardini, leichardti leis have a spot on every scale

The biggest give away is the fact that you're in the US. Asian aros are illegal in your country...
