Sorry im new to Arowanas but why is yours black? Do they change color to blend with the color of your substrate? Looks sweet when its black!!
It's a jardini aro , a great looking one at that 
they do tend to darken or lighten with substrate and environment change , some people put them in all white tanks to try sell them as albino or platinum but they change back once in a normal environment

Thats cool, i might get one and put a black background and substrate and see what he does lol. Do the black (or blue) arowana actually turn black? Or just their fins? I feel like a Jardini with dark background and substrate will be darker then the black/blue arowana, what you think?It's a jardini aro , a great looking one at that
I've always had black substrate...I love the way it makes my fish look, except my very first tank lol...ahh the good ole simple days
Theres just something about the Jardinis that I love...maybe it's their colors or maybe that they are the Aros that don't look like eels lol...
What makes them not look like eels? lol i dont know the difference between the arowana species
It's not a black but it is a nice jardini with dark tones the black jars are much darker than that and pricey
Jardini , lei's and Asians have more pronounced tails where as the silvers and black's are more tapered to a point at the end
