African_Fever Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Here's a couple pics I took the other day of my black arowana (for sale). I had never seen one in person before, and never knew they had so much colour throughout their entire body! Pics are taken with a simple Sony cybershot, flash off, and only a 105W 6' T5 Helios on the tank. I usually have the tank quite dimly lit for the rays and cats, and they were all noticeably agitated by the new bright light. Full body A couple tail shots to show the full extent of the colour.

Slough Shark Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 :shock: Very nice, but how old is it? I heard they dull as they age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
African_Fever Posted November 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 No idea as to age (he's wild caught). I had heard the same thing about them losing colour as they age, but this one's at least 14" and I would've thought he'd be much duller by that size. I think his colour has actually improved since I brought him in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slough Shark Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Wow, that's something else. I'd be tempted to keep him for myself if I were you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
