Silver Strawberry Arowana?

[aznbabyboix]

Does anyone know anything about a Silver Strawberry Arowana? I asked my LFS about ordering a silver arowana and they asked me if I would be interested in ordering a silver strawberry arowana instead. Not sure if it is worth buying it. Any information on it?

Yep its a dyed fish. Dont buy it

so i should just stick with a silver arowana instead of buying the silver strawberry arowana?

and wouldnt the "strawberry" color go away over time?

Yea just stick with a normal silver if its appropriate for your tank. The color will not only fade but the aro may end up dead due to the suffering of the dying process

ah okay thanks!

Do a little research on "dyed" fish. After understanding the process the fish has to go through, you'll find that whether or not the color lasts in very irrelevant.
