Orange Jardini - Does anyone have one?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
just a reg jardini,the jardini probably has orange b.c of its enviroment,like if you leave it in black tank it will be darkish green or a dark color and leaving it in white tank will make it light colored maybe even platinum looking
 
saratoga arowanas are another kind of jardini from australia..it has a orange, goldish look to it and roughly costs a little more than a regular jardini which is kind of green and dark colored..wouldn't be a asian arowana....

A saratoga is still just a jardini. the name is synonymous with jardinies and leichardties and doesn't imply a different sub-species or anything. some stores just like to market the fish differently so people think it's more rare. Color has a lot more to do with the environment and where they are from.
 
the color is from the enviroment+lighting mainly and diet
 
that fish pictured with the pink gill plate is lacking skin.scale pigmentation. thats rare. i wonder why we dont see it in arows.
some goldfish come like that, they are pink bodied with clear looking gills, hence why you see the pink gill through the plate. sometimes you get goldfish with one gill plate semi clear and one with colour. often if a pond of shubunkin goldfish (this breed is where the loss of pigment in the gill comes out in offspring) when the water quality is poor, you can get decent survival of this lack of pigment kind. for some uknown reason they might be tougher.
 
well some people call them red jardinies. buy it when you see one, they'll never come around again. i honestly think that jardinies have a better looking body shape than the asian arowanas.
