tetra_nz Posted June 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 It is a golden arowana according to the farm where it was bred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrienne Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 Love the colour How big is it atm and how much/what is it being fed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 Very pretty, nice blue colour on the scales. What variety is it? Is it one of the ones recently imported by Redwoods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tetra_nz Posted June 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 Adrienne, it's somewhere between 250 and 300mm, eating hikari sticks and prawns. David, it's a "24k cross back golden", (such a tacky name, especially the "24k" haha). Supposed to be a gold-base fish, but I'm starting to think maybe it's a blue-base, given such a prominent blue hue even with light background. Fish is from a Singaporean farm. This fish is not from redwood aquatics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfishybuisness Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 he is stunning, how much did he cost you? and did you import it yourself? if not where did you get him from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tetra_nz Posted June 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 I got aquaworld to import it for me. I also entertained the idea of hiring a quarantine tank, that way you get to choose exactly which farm you want to buy your fish from. However i think it's more straight forward to ask somebody with quarantine facilities to import a fish for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 I agree it certainly has a lot of blue in the scales for a regular gold, not that that is a bad thing!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
