Theo asked me to post some pictures of the new arrival.


This is a Blood Red Asian Arowana from CV Maju Farm.


He actually came in much larger than expected, from tip to tail it is around 18", a real monster.

The only time I've ever had trouble lifting a bag into the tank for acclimating a single fish. :)


Took these with the P&S, will take some with the dlsr in the next day or two once I get the glass cleaned up a bit.
Lighting is 10000k LEDs.
I will take some pics under 6700K t5's tomorrow.

Anyways, coloration of this guy is quite good, thin frame scales with nice red color and a dark purple base.

For frame of reference, the flagtail is around 9-10".

Thanks for the comments everyone!


Playing around with my new lens. Not the ideal glass for this type of photography, but not too bad nonetheless.

Here's a couple of quick pics I snapped tonight:

Wow, fantastic looking red. I really like the body shape and finnage of Maju aro's. It seems that the prominent purple base is a common characteristic of their red's too. Very interested to see how this fish continues to develop. Keep us updated!
 
Nice to see it with more stabilized colours; I am also very interested to see how this fish develops, sure is a beauty.
