IS THIS A REAL PLATINUM OR WHAT?

[T1KARMANN]

heres an example of a platinum
View attachment 324944

the only thing this aro has going for it is its white

real bad prodding lower jaw
a damaged dorsal fin that may not heal
and more than likely has drop eye

all it needs is gill curl and a swim Balder problem and it would be a total mess

but its white so someone will probably pay big $$$$$$s for it

I say keep that fish preciously. And go through this thread:

yeah its not a platinum, but maybe a good birth defect

Wow, still a lovely fish though.

I don't think that's a true platinum. It looked similar to the silver I had (died a few months ago at 18" ) when it was young; he was almost pure white under the light.

But even if it isn't, it is a beautiful fish. You should definitely keep that fish, it would probably look stunning when it gets bigger.

Wow nice! It's not a true platinum or snow silver arowana (Leusistic morph). It's one of those selective breed silver arowana that have a higher shine level. Nice find!
