Hi all,
I am confused about some red arowana's.My supplier says he does not deal in Chili reds and only In super red,Violet fusion Super red,Emperor Red and fire red.
Now Super red and VFSR are there in Qian HU's Farm But the fire red and emperor red are not.My supplier says that fire red and emperor red are not chilli red then what are they???
So far i have come across a species in Qian Hu named chilli super red arowana is that another name for fire red and emperor red??
Some please help i am really confused!!
 
dont be confused to terms or branding names they given to their aros .... super red is super red ... but some ppl categorized super red to 2 kind, chilli red and blood red, they called chilli red because the color is bright red like chilli, otherwise blood is deep n darker redness.
 
from what i know blood and chilli red are the 2 true forms of red aro

super red is the term now used for grade 1 red as the farms put loads of blood and chilli reds in the same ponds so cant tell whats what anymore meaning the true strains have been lost so they call tyhem super red

violet fushion is the highest grade from wan hu farm and the other names are just names given by different farms

there are differences in blood and chilli red fin size body shape and colour chilli are more of a metalic orange red and blood reds are the deep red

the indo farms kick out the better reds and dont breed golds as much

dont go on names get the seller to send you pics of each fish along with chip numbers and pick the one you like take the chip number to make sure you get the fish you picked and not what they feel like sending
with the high price a seller should do this with no problems if he doesnt find another seller
