I just bought it yesterday.. without certificate. fish is 4.5 inch.. seller claim it's a super red, but please help to ID
 
Definitely not a Super Red. It looks like a Banjar Red to me, but I'm not 100% sure due to the red reflecting on the bottom. Could you post a few more pictures? Try turning off the red light and taking a picture with the flash setting on.
 
I'm pretty sure it's either a G1.5 or G2 red, but you might want to turn off the red lighting and take another pic for us to ascertain its identity. SGD$300 can easy get you a high quality HBRTG given the plunging prices of aros or even a true red from certain LFS. In addition, ALL RTGs, XBs and REDs come with a certificate, you might wanna report this to the relevant authorities as I believe it's illegal to see true super REDs without their certificate.

P.S. Since you mention that you purchased it in SGD, I assume you bought it in Singapore?
 
Actually i bought this fish with IDR 2M which is about 300sgd.
Fish was brought in by a malaysian (I'd no idea how he manage to bring it into here without cert).
He sold it to a LFS (actually my friend) here in indonesia.
Fish was around 4inch when i saw and he claim it's a SR.


Please help me to identity it , I will upload more clearer photo & video. Thank you.
 
next time, you should purchase with certificate.
as far as i know, its illegal to sell the formosus arowana with no cert!?!?!

buy with cert, this way you can be sure its captive bred.
