silver arow with red

[scriving]

are they more valuable then a silver with no red or does it even matter i personally think the more red the better looking but i dont know i always get the most colorful ones?

It depends if you mean like super red asian aro. But i have seen lots of reddish silver aros. It is just the food that you feed them

its all in what their fed

crickets gutloaded on carrots & shrimp both help pronounce the red coloration. its caused by astaxanthin.

ya im not so sure about that because i have seen multiple siver arowanas raised together since young with the same food and some are just silver not much red on fins or scales and some have a nice red all around their body.

i realize that food can enhance color

 

[BlackShark11k]

lighting is really the other factor.

 

[scriving]

yes but like i said before same tank same food some have color some dont.

stressed fish loose color. genetics might have a minor role.
