Ran across these at a local fish store. tiny little place that does loads of flowerhorn imports. they have only gotten aro's in for the last couple months. said they came from malaysia on wednesday....anywho... I have seen a lot of arowana and a lot of jardini (just sold mine that was in wonderful shape) but i have never seen anything like this. It is honestly the shiniest, whitest aro I've ever seen and it's a jar (supposedly). Not a hint of gold, fins are blackish blue. I am totally amazed. they weren't too expensive and there was 4 maybe 5, thinking about getting them all and seeing what they turn into. got pics, not wonderful, nor do they do them justice, they are SHINY WHITE/SILVER,about 4" and like a said not even a hint of gold. my old jar was always gold. Anyone? Any comments or thoughts are extremely appreciated, i've never seen anything like this.....

edit: and it is standard lighting, no white substrate, etc...first thing i checked.

That looks like a leichardti to me...

nah, don't think. got buddy's with lei's, headshape is wrong. i am pretty sure it's a jar just have never seen anything like them...
 
If they are leis-snag em up as fast as you can! But, they are nice, even if jars you should still buy them.

Yeah? I've noticed that lei's tails stick out like that... if that makes sense.

If they're as cool as you say they are then just buy them! It's still an arowana.

yeah that's kinda what's been going through my head all day. pics really don't do them justice....they're intense looking.

yeah but see i already have 3: 2 midsized, 1 big one (24"+silver, 14" WC silver, 16"+Black). would like one (maybe 2 being a jar and lei) more but if they turn out to be something crazy i would kick my own ***...
