I have actually put out an order for a batik and a bluebase xb to add to the arowana pond, my arowana guy had this and he asked if I wanted, but I didn't know what it was.
Look at the scales. Also if I rem correctly, the nami comes from malaysia and batik from Myanmar
Yes I am actually waiting for the one from Myanmar, they aren't that easily available nowadays.
Here's the thread of my arowana pond, all the arowana will be going here.
Logging the pond and it's inhabitants
Well I have always wanted to keep the graceful dragons from South America's. I don't have a tank big enough for them, so I had to wait till I got bored with the alligator gar and the RTC, so that the pond can occupy the dragons. Well it took me close to 14 years to make up my mind to give them...

Yeah , saw the vid before... it is something I am interested to do but has to be much smaller. Maybe 8ft x 6ft.
Would also have 2 glass panels on the side for viewing
Cross Back Arowana is a natural colorant variant that is originated from the Bukit Merah Lake in Perak, Malaysia. The Cross Back Arowana is the most beautiful golden color variants of the Asian Arowana. And in the lake, different populations in the smaller tributaries have its own subtle difference compared to other populations. Like all Cross Back Arowana the gold rims on the scales reach only the 4 th rows of scales when young but will spread towards the back until it reach the 6 th level upon maturity. Thus, its name “Cross Back” means “Golden coloration crossing over the back”. The Full Gold Arowana has gold based core and a gold rim on the outer edge. Good specimen will appear as a solid piece of gold when is fully matured. Traits of a Full Gold Arowana are lighter color fins and eyes as compared to the other varieties of Cross Back Arowana. All Cross Back Gold Arowana are graded according to how fast the gold rims of the scales reach the 6 th rows scales.
Nice, though unless you happen to work for Qian Hu you might consider to reference the source when you copy and paste the writing of others

That's a beauty Jibran; really nice BB colors and seems to have some 6th level crossing starting to happen in a few places, which is a good sign, as well as at least a few slivers of gold on his head. I'd be pretty tempted, you thinking to go for it?
I kinda booked it and it should be with me the coming weekend
