I just recently purchased my first Arowana after many years in the hobby of owning various cichlids and catfish/oddball species, it has been a dream of mine to own one and i felt i was ready after lots of research, this guy is about 5'' long and is curently being housed in 55 until he is a little larger where he will then be transfered to a 230 with a clown knife, channel cat, and red belly pacu...and if things dont work out with them, a 600 gallon pond is in the design phase for the basement, so he will be adequately housed either way. But my question today is weather or not my silver arowana is a true silver. I will post a couple pics, and i appoligise for the quality they are from a cell phone. But he has a lot of red or pink color in him, also he has a lot of blue around the spot by his face, most of the slivers ive seen are just that...sliver.View attachment 743706View attachment 743707View attachment 743706View attachment 743707
 
Thanks :) so he seems to be doing really well, he is swimming normal, and I got him to eat which is what I was worried about. I put in brine shrimp in the morning which he loved, then I tried some floating pellets later that evening... He didn't want anything to do with those though so I thought maybe he just isn't hungry, well then I tried them again this morning with hikari stick, and same thing, but as soon as I put a small peice of fresh cod fillet in he gobbled it right up... He just isn't interested in pellets, any tips?
