Great looking arowana. You said it was a Super Red. Will it take on more color once it settles into it's new home?

Thanks everyone! David, the aro will take on more colour in the next few weeks but most of its colour will develop as an adult. They take anywhere from 3-5 years to develop.
Not a great fish for people who like to flip their stock often. Miguel, you want the story on this fish? Not much of one but here it is.
Got to talking with Theo at Dragonfish Canada based out of Vancouver a few months ago. Theo also runs the arowanaclub.ca website, a canadian site dedicated to asian aro and stingray keepers located in the great white north. We certainly have an international membership though.
Anywho, I'm always looking for ways to either profit from or barter my photo skills and so we discussed "considerations" on a red aro in exchange for a photo journal of it's growth. Theo is working with CV Maju Aquarium in Indonesia and wanted to showcase/market a CV Maju aro. The most effective way to showcase something is with good photos. Hence, moi.
2 months ago, the fish was ordered, the cities certficates cleared bureaucracy, the aro left the farm this past tuesday morning and after 40 + hours travelling from the farm through Jakarta, Hong Kong and Vancouver to western Canada, here it is.
