I got a 24" silver a few weeks ago and I thought he was stressed from the move as he is not as shiny as all the aro's on here.

Please take a look at the pictures and tell me what you think. They are not the best I dont know how to take good pictures of my fish. The tank is not cloudy the acrylic was dirty.

my silver arowana is about 6 inches, i just moved him into my big 240 gallon tank about a week ago. from the transfer i noticed that my net messed up his scales and he was so stressed out his scales got bruised up. he looks a little nasty but hes healing very very quick. just keep up with the water changes.
 
You concern is that it is not shiny?
 
i dont see any problems on the arow.. the scales are swollen or anything... looks fine to me..
 
diet,enviroment,lighting,water plays a role in coloration
 
I was alittle worried as it did not seam as shiny as some of the pictures I have seen, so I just wanted to check to make sure everything was ok.

Now I know everything is fine.
