Yellow Tail and Banjar Red Arowana

Yellow tail Asian Arowana is a Breed of it own costing from S$128 Yellow Tail Arowana is from the Banjar Masin River in Riau; Indonesia but DO NOT Confuse it with "Banjar Red" that is 1.5 Red or G2. Yellow Tail have its own beauty, as you can see above the tail area are yellow but the body will have Green Arowana marks or 1.5 Red marking. This confusion started because of some unhonest LFS in taiwan. YT look like Red when young, those unhonest LFS try to sell YT as Red. Those ppl that brought the YT think that they had brought a Red, when the YT grow up it is not Red at all! Those angry ppl than started to called YT grade 2 Red, because they think it is a inferior fish. This is not fair at all, YT had it own beautiness also. It just like comparing apple and orange. In the later stage, TKL (or unknown hybrid) aro were also included in the list, because most of them won't grow up to be a Red aro! Lastly, grade 2 red is the same as 1.5 red, different placesused different name, but they r the same.

Now is 1.5 Red, G2 OR Banjar Red Arowana, costing from S$138

1.5 Red Arowana has red colour finnages when it is young but would fade away as it grows up and the scale colours will not appear like the grade 1 Red Arowana. Higher quality ones would perhaps have more pinkish tone in the colour but is still largely silverish and a yellow coloured tail. If you are lucky you can get 1.5 Red Arowana with gold tone on the face. As there are alot of cross breed now.
