there really shouldn't be any debate over this, that is an average arowana. The beauty of an arowana tends to make people think that they have a special one.
Is this a High Shine Silver Arowana?

HS is simply bull any way u either have a platinum or leucistic or its a regular silver dont buy into that bs for good sake. same with greens there is either a nano or green not 5 different sub sp as some sites wana try and claim. even HB traits in rtg is very questionable. two HBs dont make HB so how is it a visual morph its just luck.
All arowanas are special, who cares if he is a HS or just an average arowana. Love him for who he is 
Silvers with iridophore development? Isn't that what those little glow fish/tetras have that cause them to glow? How rare is that mutation and what causes it to happen? Could that picture just have been a colored light against a silver?
it would have to be leucophores to create true high shine, ie platnuim so HS is bull either plat/leu or regular silver till someone produces anabolism or xanthophores and erythrophores morphs its all BS.....
