rtg arowana is a rtg arowana. A sumatran rtg is a rtg arowana from sumatra. There is no difference. Highback arowana will usually get 5th - 6th level shine whereas rtg usuallly get 4th - 5th level shine.

At 8" the fish is too young for it to have the colors you're expecting. RTGs are native to Sumatra, a standard RTG will have gold scales up to the 4th level, maybe 5th on occasion. High backs will go to the 6th level. I don't think you were ripped off. The fish shows a lot of potential, give it time and let it grow. You most likely have about another year before it reaches 15".

relax your doing fine. its only 8" so its common the colors havent developed yet.
read up on the arowana sticky you should be able to get a good read and learn
what to feed & etc. also try feeding live gut loaded frogs, centipedes, roaches &
other insects; you can also feed fresh shrimp/prawn. another thing you can do
is put it under direct light which intensifies the fish's coloration.

Hey bro!! Your rtg has a good shape. Use a black background instead of the blue. It will bring out his intensity and shine. What do you keep as takmates because iam buying a rtg next week
