What Is My Arowana (Species)

[Aquai]

Jardini. yours is just darker than most you can darken the color of the fish to some degree using a dark background and bottom.

Yuh, i just read that somewhere else, i'm guessing it's the black background, and i just changed to black sand as well, so may get even darker?

Beautiful Jar btw.

Yeah it is a very nice Jardini.

Thanks, i was going to sell him, but gonna keep him for now and hope he doesn't get too aggresive (i know i know, he may go mental on me) but hoping the new tank he's going into will give him plenty of time to grow in and space...

def a jar, mine looked like that as soon as i put him in my tank with a black background

So you reckon just a colour morph?

No such thing as a morph in jars, they blend to environment, lighten darken, markings go more n less pronounced....

Lots of Jardinis look like that actually.

yeah, i couldnt agree more. most people get weird colored juvenile jardinis and get so hyped up thinking about gold, red, violet, and other "color-morph" jars but to be really frank, thats just how jardinis are...... almost always, they are all just regular jardinis

totally agree lots of people here posting and arguing about jardini color morphs, sorry but jars just aint like asians where color morphs are really established. one in a million jar may turn up a weird color, but no established color morphs

Definately a nice looking Jar

 

[Viet_TL]

that is one nice lookin jar... most of the ones ive seen are bright silver

So it's a Jar but not a colour morph more of an adaptation to surrounding ^_^ cool, that's exactly what i wanted to hear more or less

awsome color

 

[dreamandscheme]

never seen one with orange spots on the fin, will he lose the markings as he gets bigger?
