What kind of aro is this?

Hi guys my friend just got this, not sure what kind this is? Thanks!

Looks like golden crossback, hard to tell when young

pino? 1.5 grade red? golden xback maybe? golden red?

one of these 4 would be a good guess really can't tell yet

It’s young and faded not a good combo for identifying the type.

Definitely not 1.5 grade red

I like the yellow streaks on the fins. Not something I’ve noticed on an aro before

Young arowanas have it which fade as they grow

I think it will grow into a nice looking Malay gold.

still trying to compare online but we'll see what it grows up to be hopefully. pretty sure he'll probably just end up selling it though.

more guesses appreciated, thanks everyone!
