ally07 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I would go green aro before anything else I think, but my interest in silvers was rekindled, they are nice fish if kept in pristine condition with minimal drop eye. Good luck with that! I don't think I've ever seen a silver that didn't have drop eye. I'm pretty sure that with silvers it's a genetic thing, with the other breeds it might be bad genes and/ or bad diet. You can't fight genetics!

henward Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 i knew one silver no drop eye at all. fed pellets and always fed with food suspendd above water. no drop eye. maybe its the looking up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruju Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Yeah, I have seen a silver without drop eye, and one with near none. I used to own one with a little drop eye in only one eye as well, I think a nice silver aro is a top aquarium fish. Some on mfk are beautiful, but I do think the high shines have the best appearance 8) they are so bright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd buy this one lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruju Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 That one there is a platinum silver - I think it sold in singapore for excess of 200,000 pounds. High shines are different, they possess a phosphore gene within the scales, but not to the extent of the platinum, however they come across significantly shinier and brighter than a regular silver but are very hard to find even in an overseas market. If you go on mfk now there is a recent post in the aro section of a xanthic silver aro! Looks amazing! Completely bright yellow! Other colour forms exist such as leucism, albinism (there has been asian aros with this), melanism etc but the possibility of finding an aro with one of these traits here is pretty much zip.

Squirt Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Saw an albino bitchir(I think) at Pet essentials in the Hutt. Was pretty cool. Was $85 which I though was pretty sweet too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ally07 Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 i want weird aros. I once saw a heavily deformed aro in a fish farm in Singapore which still carried a hefty price tag. I think it was a gold xb and its spine was like an elongated Z. Terrible thing to see it swim, but apparently people are willing to pay for it, maybe because it's weird?? :dunno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 yeah, you get that what i want is a 2 headed aro IF they survive juvi stage lol am i sick.............perhaps :sml1: what i hate is the shortbodied arowanas. I dont know if they are a natural deformation or man made like my sweetheart parrot which my fiance dubbed SWEETIE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruju Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Saw an albino bitchir(I think) at Pet essentials in the Hutt. Was pretty cool. Was $85 which I though was pretty sweet too. Pretty common, easy to find usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
