My Black Aro....

[jenBLKAROWANA]

Well.....I called the taxidermist last night, and he has my Aro mounted....Next week we are going to go over the colors in the fish so he can start painting him!!! I am sooooo excited! I am going to go and see what he looks like tonight after work. He told me it was very difficult to do...Some of the scales fell off, but only on the back of the fish....He said he should have charged me double cause it is so hard to do...he said he will never do another one again...lol....

Ten bucks an inch.....for any fish this guy does....But last night he told me he wanted to charge me double....it was a difficult mount....He looked good last night, the guy still has to put the eye in and do some "cosmetic grooming" before we can sit down to really discuss the colors.

Here is an interesting fact about Arowanas: Not only is their tounge boney, but they have 2 rows of impressive teeth on the inside of the roof of their mouth! I am going to assume this is for "crunching" up their food.....
