Sumathra RTG Arowana

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
what is the different between sumathra RTG arowana and highback RTG arowana ?
i have sumathra RTG arowana from kin star aqua world farm is that arowana isn't good or bad?
anyone who know that ? please tell me

both sumatra and kalimantan rtg is indo arowana gold , but those were a bit different in terms of coloration on rings and fins ...

sumatra rtg :
  • gold ring coloration is more yellowish (more like 18k gold) with light base color through whole body
  • the fins color tend to be reddish with a hint yellowish or light/bright red
kalimantan rtg :
  • gold ring coloration is tend to mixed with reddish tint makes it look like a mix coloration of gold and copper, with darker base color
  • the fins tend to be darker/deep red sometimes matching the redness of super red aro
those differences suggested because the different water composites especially the kalimantan based arowana live in rich tanin water source which known as blackwater


still not good color 8 inch
will it come good color ??

if will he become 15 inch will it take how many time duration

if you watch carefully at 8" should developed a thin gold rings on the scales and a hint gold spec on the cheek / gill plate.
even smaller 6" rtg should start to develop gold coloration

your pics blurry but i could see thin gold ring already developed especially on scales near gill area
