Rare Myanmar species

[AU_Arowana-RG]

*Hopes that they breed and that we'll have viable captive bred stock in 7-10 years*

still a nice aro to have

some will hate it, some will love it, some say its not worth paying so much as they associate it with green, well its not for everyone.

I think this is a very interesting and mystic arowana, the rarity makes it a must have for arowana aficionado and I feel this species needs more publicity as keeping it hidden is just a shame.

Lets hope they successfully breed this species with no mixture of blood.

Gold frames began forming on the scales, this is very strange, the progress of pigmentation is similar to red arowana I've seen beginning on the end of 5th level near the pearlies, and 4th level near the gills.

Look at the this pic, do green look anything like this?

If yes then I apologise, I will not debate with an arowana expert

Why don't you tell us?

You've very little knowledge of arowana, but I dun mind sharing with you. Green and banjarred shine on the inner-core, red and gold shine on the outer core of the scale.

Shine a light on top, you wont get reflection on green and banjar, the fish looks dull.
Shine a light on top, you get the shine and polish.

For green, your light needs to be on the side to get the shine, hence green arowana looks best where you get very strong ambient sunlight.

Inner core? Can't you tell from the pix that the light came from above the fish?

If this is call shine...then I wont argue...no need to teach you more hahahaha
Then XB we should rename it as radiation
