pearl arowana

hi all, im going to get a small pearl arowana soon . was just wondering what should you look for when buying pearl arowana. like scale color? fins?

ask the shop owner if he can feed the fish u dont want a arowana that doesnt eat, make sure the fins are good, both eyes, some jardinis are darker and some have more pearls than other

thx but like i buy from an importer so like on the day it arrives im already there w8ing for his stock.. so its still in the bags that it came in. its going to b small like 8-10cm around mayB a bit more. i want a dark pearl so i should look at the color of the fins?

it really doesnt matter i had a pearl that was light colored but still had alot of pearls
since you want pearls look for one with alot but make sure the eyes are clear both barbels have to be there no large scratches or scales missing or any other weird bumps

how big is your pearl now? and is it true that after some time it becomes really picky about its food ? like accepts only live food?
