SR potential?

[bruceotb]

You think this 7 inch SR has good potential to actually color itself in 1 to 2 years? Or should i trade it now?

Keep it, looks good.
Feed him a mix of krill, crickets(feed crickets fish flakes),prawns,shrimp and some fish.
Good diet choices and sunlight bring out better colors.

Having read about red Arowanas, what I understand is it takes around minimum 4 to 5 years to color up in red. Before that they go through yellow and orange coloration on their scales. And Caroteine rich food and health is influencing parameters.

Beautiful red by the way. Congrats!

Thanks for the advice. Im trying to train it with pellets as of the moment. I have been starving it for a week already.

way too small to tell....most aros don't start to show potential or colours until they get about 14 to 18" unless they are truly AAA grade and as juvies, they show more potential already...but those fish you wll be paying a huge premium for reds/xbacks in that tier...

it has to be put in white tank and white lights first as juveniles to enhance level of scale shine.
