what a load of rubbish in the last few posts

silvers have a more rounded tail like the one in the picture

silvers are also a more bulky fish like the one in the picture

blacks aros are slimmer and the tail goes to a fine tip

are you, by any chance, referring to mine, Richard?

A better picture would do justice.

Ok I'll do my best to get some pics before work. Are there any angles you guys would prefer? Also it's about 9-11 inches well that's my best guesstimate atleast. Give me a few moments and I'll try for some pics.

Don't black arowanas usually have a bunch of markings on their dorsal fins that contrast with the fin a lot? Like little dabs and blotches.

In silvers, the fins are a light pink color, and the markings look more like little lines than little dots, and they're also a light pink color.

I can't tell from your pictures, but you can take a look at these two and decide.

I took a look at your pictures again, and I think it's a silver.

Looks to me too be a silver...

I looked it over, once more.

2nd and 3rf pix point me to black. Sorry for not agreeing with the silver theory.
