Wonder why its tattered, youd be crazy to keep such a valuable fish with something that would beat it up :O Nice plat blackie tho
I'm not sure if it just me but I'm seeing shade of blue on the anal fin and the caudal fin. Looks like it went to a white tank treatment then place on a darker tank to take vids. I've done white tank treatment on black aro, silver, jardini and green arowana and they look leutistic overtime. However the fins still show a pale coloration. A true leusitic arowana does not show any shade of color of the regular counter part.
IMO this guy looks like a true leucistic. So far I havent really seen at plat blacks that dont have a shade of color on their fins, usually they seem to have some blue.. Compared to a WTT black, which look more like a pale greyish color.
I've seen true leusistic black aro and no shade of blue on the fins. Also I think someone posted a true plat black aro here. A regular black aro will turn white when place in WTT. Try that with a small juvenile and you might see what I'm talking about.
Yep that arowan is surely beat. I've seen this to common on Juvenile black aros with the shredded fins. I imported many black aros in the past and many came in with fins like that. Could b none stop fighting. Also many dealers will use WTT to scum would be buyers. Any blue or orange shows on the fins then I for sure will not buy that particular aro. Especially when asking for lots of money.WAtched the vid again(man that poor aro is beat) and I would have to agree, you can see blue and even orange tint in the fins.
