Second Arowana is a black/blue Arowana same thing some people just call them black due to there color when they are young he is a Osteoglossum ferreirai which usually max out at 38 to 42 inches they can live 20 years with proper care and big enough tank with correct diet and the best thing is with proper care they don't get the horrible drop eye like the silvers (proof in picture when i got my silver it already had the drop eye just fyi) however they can still get it but it much more rare in the blues considering that there is way less inbreeding with the blues so they have stronger genes also which helps ...there are so many poor gene silvers due to so much inbreeding not to mention all the thing people do to them like tattoo them and dye them i find the blues are much more attractive also and even though he's at about 30" inches he is definitely way more calm and relaxed compared to any silver I have ever had just a little about him lol

for 85 bucks that a pretty good price my local fish store has one thats 12 inches and they want 500 dollars for him which is way out of hand
 
i saw one for $250 that was about 7inches so thats as good of a price as i think you'll find.
