I find it funny because "High Shine" Silver Arowana can't be obtain through feeding live goldfish. "High Shine" Silver Arowanas have Leucism and Iridophore development. It's developed in their genes, not from their diet.
The Arowanas in the link I posted looks like what my Arowana looks like. Yours Hao does not look like mine. Mine has shine on its body and head with minimal dark shading on the top and pink on the fins (even when compare to other Arowana his own size). They sold mine as a platinum Arowana except I'm starting to think mine is a high shine and Hao's could be a platinum.
The top two look like mine the bottom two do not. I'm going to grow mine up a while and see how he turns out. I'm going to take some new pictures as well.
The fish in the first post of this thread is very clearly just a normal Silver Aro.
They all have a degree of shine on them, thats why they are SILVER aros!
This degree of shine varies on all Aros, but a High shine will be very clear from the gewt go!
Still really early however I have been looking at other pictures of Silver Arowanas and have got some hope as mine is much lighter in color than the Arowanas I have been seeing.

Not sure why you are comparing your fish to adult high shines and saying yours will look like that when older. Silver's are infamous for being very oddly colored when juveniles, from yellowish to blueish to whiteish and all in between. You have no idea how yours will look when its older.
It was in a blue background tank,brown gravels.
