Ok
Red aro i am told needs Dark to black bottom, sides and back.
Gold i am told, small size to 40cm, put in a tank with white back, sides and bottom...then move into a black background tank.
I have also heard that reducing waterchange to your aro tank will enhance and intensify its colours.
Ok, below is what I KNOW.
The human eye can be tricked to seeing mroe colour through contrasts.
Say a red arowana will show 'more' red against a black backdrop as thats just contracts....similar to Black adn yellow street signs are designed to catch attention.
Is this the case here? Or does the arowana actually say - "Wow, black everywhere, im gonna become redder" or is uit more of an illusion.
And Gold too...... any science or sound logical reasoning behind this.
Also, lack of wc will mean nitrate build up....... how can nitrate possibly enhanced and better a fish?
Also, i am told if i put my RTG in a tank with White background - i may have gotten an extra row of scales being gold as opposed to stopping at the 4th level. My gold in the RTG is very intense in my opinion, but stops short of the 5th level above.... from there to the top is light brownish tan colour....is this true?
i guess im asking for some science and not some guy trying stuff out wtih no controled subjects or just heresay..... whcih in this hobby is common i guess.
Vids of my aro is available in media lounge under my name..... if you can check that out, and tell me.... is my rtg not really a good rtg? lol... i mean i love the big monster!! but i guess im sayin....... does the background add an extra row of scales to be gold? superceding genetics?
