Golden Aro.

The question should be posed, is it a Red Tail Golden (originate from Indonesia) or a X-back Golden (Originate from Peninsular Malaysia).

Super reds are NOT the most expensive mind you. The X-back goldens are often pricer than the Super red. wink.gif

Looks to me like the Malaysian Golden. (top half of the RTG is usually a dark brown colour whereas the X-back golds have uniform reddish brown thru the whole tail).... I could be wrong and this could be a very good quality RTG. sad.gif

Either way, looks like a very nice young fish. Good finnage and nice thick body.

sorry for the confuse comment.

ALex is correct , i meant to say the price he paid for the golden + another $800.

And what Kev say is also correct, cross back golden is more pricer than a super red. BUt Looking from the pic, the fish is not a cross back.

And i agree with Tam, look like a RTG, but a very good quality one.

Answer: this is my HighBack Red Tail Golden.

in future, this aro could be cross back or not because it's still in Juv size around 10cm. thumbsupsmileyanim.gif

fishlover : how big is it now ? is it a big eater ? what are you feeding it?

i'd like to add.

its not always correct to assume that just because the colours just goes up to the 4th level that its automatically a RTG...

Xbacks can have these features too... and crosses over with age

im no expert it was just a guestimate.

Cheers

5th row/level is the => 5th row of scale going horizontal across the body of the

arrowana counting from the bottom.

All RTG have a gold body with Red tail (native fish of Indo) ,

most RTG, the gold body only clour up the 4th row whereas a few/rare RTG

clour up to the 5th row. This is call high back RTG, this feature will add an extra

$1000 to the value of the fish.

hope that clear up for u Tim
