What ancient fish is this?

What fish is this? Not the bircher, what's that larger fish above it?

African arowana.

thanks! I did a google search and they are usually pretty light in color. I suppose this one is dark due to substrate?

I think it's substrate and lighting

I think this one belongs to Josh's Fish

Hi Alvin, yes as said above African Arowana, the grey base is typical of most African Arowana, the lighter ones you've seen have been washed out in bright lights or white substrates

If you're considering purchasing one, please have a read and watch these
