There are actually two type of Pearl Arowana in Singapore one of them is this type above call Jardini and the other is call Scleropages leichardti that is a longer in length compare to the Jardini that is more rare in Singapore then Australia. Pearl Arowana is one of the most aggressive Arowana so less people dare to comm them. As the picture shown above the Pearl Arowana is also in WTT (white tank treatment) to wash out their colour. Pearl Arowana come with Red dots as shown below thus the name give.
From the above pic some say it as Platinum silver arowana but some say is silver aro in WTT (white tank treatment) i will talk about this later on. This silver aro is found in the Amazon River basin and Oyapock Rivers in South America as well as in still waters in Guyana. Silver aro will have the same colour from young till old. some silver will have light red scale depending on what you feed. Silver are the cheapest and easiest aro to keep. Most aro keeper use silver as a comm partner for other expensive aro to attact. So that less damage is done on expensive arowana. Pic of young Silver below
Black arowana is a close relative of Silver arowana arowana. From the Pic above you can only see the colour different on the fins, black aro have blue base find compare to silver. Black arowana are rumored to be harder to raise arowana around that why the rareness. Pure black aro are harder to come by in singapore. Mostly young black arowana cannot reached adult stage in Singapore due to water condition. Some black aro will loss it blue or black fin when they are at adult stage thus the only way to know their breed is to buy when they are small. Pic of small black arowana is attached below.
