I do believe that is a red "anal" gold... tongue.gif
Interesting fish...

actually it does have a caudal fin which is just that few rays between the dorsal and anal fin.

its movement is normal. just like any other arowanas.


i was just lucky that time. i told the LFS to help me look for a HBRTG. but the boss cant get any from the farm as all of them are to be exported. end up the boss saw this piece (which was supposed to be exported to japan) n he lied to the farm that he wanted to keep it himself. so i was just lucky to be able to purchase this arowana thanks to the kind boss who put in so much effort to get it for me.

heard for quite some time that over in the US the ban of asian arowanas is going to be lifted. hope that it already happen or is going to happen soon. wink.gif

ya. very nice reds. mine just ate a almost 2" yellow parrot on sat. i got 3 pieces and when i on my light at night i only found 2 of them hiding among the wood. then i saw my RAG's mouth moving and saw the tail in the mouth. already moved the other 2 pieces into another tank.
