My opinion still stands on crossbred of RTGxGreen. Coloration on scales remind me of Green Aro. Finnage color reminds me of an RTG.

1. Just an FYI, not all RTG have RED tail. Most either have orange or really dark orange tail. The enviroment and diet will affect the color on it's tail. So if an RTG that has dark orange tail, isn't an RTG?
2. High back have gold shine up to the 5th scale level. Not 3rd or 4th. Like you said, it doesn't have color. It can't be an RTG. An RTG at that size should have thin gold frame on the scale, even if it's kept in a light tank.
3. Grade 2 Reds look similar to Grade 1 Red when young. Dorsal, Caudal, and Anal fin is Red. The Aro in the O.P has greyish color on the Dorsal fin.

Oh, I think I'm color blind.:grinno: I don't see red but I see orange. :popcorn:

I think it's because of the bright light make the light red look like orange!

*rtg? no it's not a red tail gold, because its tail not red.
*Hi back? if color not reaching the back, but hight enought to reach the 3 or 4 level scale, that's a hight back. But this one does not color, of course not a hi-back.
*Grade 2 red? do you see any red color at all?
don't worry about the names, just look at the color, that's simple!

You saw red on the tail? I only see slight pink if i am not color blind. SLIGHT PINK in your eyes becomes RED, i suggest you should go check your eyes.
In my last post, I meant, there's no cutting edge for the names. let says, RTG mix with a GREEN, it could be named either one, or depend on the what color it tends to more . Not like; if not A, or B, should be C. there're more in between, you have to look at the color to value the fish.
The fish still too young, color still not fully develop? that's usually what the seller would say to persuade the buyer.
I agree this fish may develop a bit more color, but won't be much. Attached is a juvenile red ... "not PINK".View attachment 700308

The rest please do not answer yet. I'd like Dragonseek's identification first and foremost.

I wouldn't be so straightforward. :ROFL: Everyone is entitled to their own judgements and opinions but after constant disagreements, he has to know that he's getting it all wrong. Somehow i don't even think he's seen an actual Asian Arowana, or at the very least stared at one for a good 3-4 hours to know the difference between 2.

we have seen a lot of new "shifu" on mfk for a long time, whether self proclaimed or by just looking at pics on the internet without really owning a real asian arowana.

FYI RTG has 4th level shine as a MINIMUM. HBRTG shine level reaches the 5th scale.
grade 2 red doesnt show any red color even if the name mentions red. thats why its a grade 2 and not a grade 1 >.>
even your photo of 1.5 grade red, as the arowana grows, it will lose its red
FYI red arowana takes at least 2 years or more for the red color to mature.

this smells troll or someone really stupid >.>
