my absolute DREAM aro!

[T1KARMANN]

Dude did you look at the article! It's a compatition those are the best of the best! And they are absolutely not under a red light because the green base would not look so vibrant it would look brownish red! Those bases look emrald green! I understand that they are heavily tanned b4 the comp but there's no trick lighting.

the 1st link you posted is for a comp and yes you are right lights are not used their the 2nd 2 links you posted look like lights are being used to me

all the aros are in a bare bottom tank which refects the light up more onto the aro giving it the glowing effect which is great but i can stand bare bottom tanks

my aro also glow more when they swim over the bare bit of tank my rays have left

so unless you have a bare bottom tank or use tricks with the lights the aros wont look like that

well that comp was way back in 2004 and i think the rules on lights has changed since then so they may have lights to enhance the color

hello, i'm new in this fourm, and i'm from Singapore. basically, reds have two different types, grade 1 basically the reds u seen in the photo and grade two which is the low grade of the red species of arowana. the intensity of the the aro depends on the gene. the nan lighting is usually to increase the intensity and speed up the development. reds have slow development. the colour development merely after 12 inches and above. Expensive Grade 1 Reds definitely looks extremely well such as the picture. only Grade 2 reds wun have intensity of the grade 1 red.
