My platinum arowana

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Dunno if it's true plat or not, but I do know they can be WTT, there was a thread a month or so ago about a guy who bought what looked like a perfect plat jardini, within a week or two it started turning back to its old colors. He payed a lot too.

Yeah I'm not 100% sure either, but jardinis usually sell at $40-$60 here so I still consider myself lucky. :)
I've been keeping a close eye on him and no changes in the color so far. About 3 weeks now.. I'll update you if there are any changes.

It's a genetic morph which lack pigment called Leucistic. With that being said, this isn't a Leucistic Jardini. If you want to see it change back into a normal Jardini, try putting it into an all black tank. If it retain it's whiteness(most likely not), then it's a Leucistic. Because Leucistic will stay complete white no matter in what environment. Plus the price is too cheap for a true Leucistic Jardini. Leucistic Jardinis are more rare than Leucistic Silvers. I've seen two types of Leucistic Silvers and only one type of Leucistic Jardini. Try to take picture of this Jardini using flash and show us.
