Red Aro in NYC!

[ctoychik]

The thought have been nagging me for quite a while. I just got back from NYC and i have visited the Brooklyn Aquarium - first of like WOW they had a fully grown red aro there (see pics below). then on closer look ... somehow or rather i did not get an impression that the fish was very impressive (nice color and all but the shape seemed ... off? errrr non-uniform ... rather thin) and it was very lethargic (not so perky)... plus possibly with a mild gill curl =( The set-up it was in was not particularly inspiring either. Am i alone in this impression?

Btw, the RTC (three feet?) in Central Park was pretty impressive (see below) + cool set-up (see below also) ... though it seemed lonely by itself

PS: forgive my poor photo skills ^^

Good be the reason why it is so "unperky". But look closer at the lower stomach section it does look uneven and "thin"?

IMO, I think it's already on it's teenage years because of it's look .

Colorwise, that fish looks pretty good. I would say that fish is at least 6 years old.
