New WC silver aro!

[Hao]

Well, I don't breed silvers nor black. But I got farms here and malaysia breeding them captively. I have discuss about WC and CB with some suppliers and they tell me the same thing, WC one can't be that fancifully colourful with such redness. They are usually much less attractive and colourless silver. Nowadays silvers are widely bred and to be exported out thus WC is no longer the easier way to get nice silvers.

Like I said earier, I don't breed silvers but asia aros only. I can't tell you for sure what people tell me are true. But I do get to see those brooders and damn they are huge.

For more comparisim, you can always look into my silvers collection here which I posted and see the similarity for mine are all CB silvers. Current length can easily hit 28 inches.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us, Koji!

Hello All,

These are wild caught silver arowanas from The Rio Tapiche which flows into the Rio Ucayali in Requna, both in which meets the Rio Marananon and are brought back from Nata to Iquestos in Peru. We bought them as 2" - 2 1/2" juvineles with egg sacks and tank raised them on Hikari tropical food sticks until they reached 4". Then we moved 200 outdoors in direct sunlight under shade cloth and continued feeding them Hikari tropical food sticks daily. They all are now 8" - 12" and all show lots of red and nice silver. All are very tame and have never had a live food in their entire life. Again these are wild caught, not domestic. These are one of our wild caught growouts that we specialize in.

Thanks, John

Another way to put it is that these guys come from nauta, the first spot from the mountains where the amazon starts....

John,
Thanks for your knowledge I appreciate you confirming this! Great to know he is indeed a wild caught specimen and not a CB that will develop PLJ later in life!

WC will not develop PLJ? Frankly, 7 out of 10 of my silvers which are now 24 inches at least currently doesnt have PLJ despite they are CB.

This is great info. Like I mentioned, I only learnt these from those who are breeding them in malaysia and in singapore. Thus I can conclude they actually bullsh1t about all these.

my two year old silvers are over 30"+ no PLJ so far - fingers crossed will stay that way. I am pretty sure that my silvers are not WC - seem too cheap to have come all the way from amazon for 30USD.
