Local LFS Jardini...help me out.

I was mystified by this fish, as I am not yet an arowana expert. Every Jardini I have seen was silver, but this one had a charcoal background with red on the scales. There was no price on the tank, but they offered it to me for $125. Pic sucks I know, but is it a Jardini, or is it something else. They said it was Australian.

Yep, it's a jar.

Will it lose it's red color?

 

[WyldFya]

Not sure, I have seen one identical in coloration to that at around 12".

 

[rallysman]

Yup, they're aussie

Looks like a jardini to me, maybe slightly stressed.

Get a tank, talk them down a few bucks, and get it!

Jars get to 3 ft, so I need at least 250 correct?

I have seen 2 jardini at my LFS. The most attractive one was larger with darker fins and body. I was thinking of buying him but someone snatched him up at the two for the price of one sale. At least I got the 2 clown knives at a good price.
