Peifeng Aquatics was formed in 2002 , and was targetted at the Asian Arowana Market. They mainly do Golds and Reds , and they're quality is awesome. We had the honour to interview the farm as well as the person-in-charge , Jack Lee.

First , we were taken to view their breeding ponds as well as the holding ponds for the future breeders. It was a sight to behold. This particular pond was jaw-dropping. Have a look at this pond of Reds ! These are pretty young fish , far from adulthood , but are already displaying fantastic quality in them.

These are plain mud ponds that do not run on any form of filtration , everything is natural. The fishes in this pond would be moved to a much bigger mud pond deeper into the farm.


Peifeng specialises in Scarlet Fire Reds , which is their trademark for their Reds , and Bro BlackBlade has gotten a piece from them. He has posted this before but no harm posting it again. This piece is a really fat and bulky piece , a very nice piece I must say.

After viewing the ponds , it's back to the showroom. Bro Jack gladly took his showcase fishes out for us to take photos of , and I believe a picture means a thousand words. I won't have to explain much. :p All photographs are original productions of xiia0beN and have not been digitally enhanced. What you see now is what you'll see in real life.

This is his Crossback Golden series - Royal Brilliance.

His Royal Brilliance fishes just makes me drool .. Can't wait for them to be in my tank Haha. As many people might say , yes all these Golds undergo White Tank Treatment (WTT) when young , but after a certain time (not more than 2 years) , you can put them in a black tank and the crossing and golden helmet will not fall.


Next , he displayed his Scarlet Fire Red. This piece is still young and being developed , but he'll just showcase this for now.

A million thanks to bro Jack Lee for risking thousands of dollars to make the photoshoot a success. Thanks to everyone who viewed this thread , and do lookout for more interviews from us in the near future.

Great read. Thanks for sharing that.

You can "make" a grade 1 red into a so called fire red at home if you have the time and effort...

To get such an effect is by intense over tanning. As can be shown from the brownish red color tone of the scales instead of a more intense red.

This effect is from over tanning an orange colored arowana.

hahaha... homework?

hmmm... a red arowana's scale pigment worksin the same principle as human skin.

Just as how when we are exposed to too much sunlight we get sunburned and the pigments darken in our skin. This principle is the same as in arowanas. When exposed to too much light the pigments darken and the color will become a darker tone.

Now... here is an example of a red that has been tanned naturally in a pond . Under direct sunlight...

notice the color tone of the red.... if the fish is red the color tone will be sort of blood red after tanning.

A brownish looking tone only can come from an orange colored fish. Principal is the same.

As for tanning and thin frames... lol... sglet my boy... i think you don't know enough about the methods of intense tanning. Thin frames can be retained after intense tanning... let me show you an example of my own ex arowana...

Before tanning: ( light Orange )

After some tanning process: ( 2 weeks )

The last pic was taken with pink light hence the redness. If you notice... thin framed still.

What nonsense about not being able to produce thin frames with intense tanning??

its the method you use my boy...

Please don't teach your grandma to suck eggs. :ROFL:
 
There're 101 way to make a red look "red":D Why bother? Just be happy with what you own and accept what it may come:D

disturbed my boy..by looking at your reply..i know u know nuts bot tanning.doesn't mean u put yr arowana in the pond you are tanning it.pls run alround the farms in the afternoon and look at the arowanas in the pond.The top picture you posted is not red at all..and your ex red..let me guess..you just leave the light on 24/7 1 on the side top and 1 below..so i guess you call that intense tanning huh..and here some info..yr ex red pic you posted the eyes look kinda big.and the scales is thick too...another pointer..u dont need the sun to tann yr reds.(and pls once again stop posting other ppls red)

and stop teaching ppl the wrong thing..just because most of the ppl here are foreiger here, u think you can bo yr way through..
