hi guys, just want to get your opinion on this silver aro from a friend of mine. he sold this on a lfs and the store was able to sell it to some korean national for a few thousand pesos. my question is, it there something special about this silver? from the picture it looks like a snow or maybe a platinum but mind you this fish was sold as a regular silver only.

here is a picture of it taken outside the tank while being measured. what do you think? :confused:

It looks lighter than a normal silver, but it could be stressed.

I see color in the fins, so I would say it's not a snow.

I think its a cool looking arowana, how big was it?
p.s. if you ask me.... all arowana are special!

i totally agree with you on that. the silver was around 30in in lenght.
 
1 Mexican pesos = 0.0927815921 U.S. dollars
1 Mexican pesos = 0.04738348 British pounds

So it was certainly sold for a lot of money.
I do not recon it is a snow, as rallysman observed.

It’s size certainly contributes to its 'special-ness', i imagine it was wild caught too?
Certainly a gorgeous looker though!

tbh i dont think thats a lot of money for an aro that size. 70cm silvers are sold here for up to $300.

exchange rate is 49.36 PHP = 1 USD not sure though if it's wild caught.
