Time to settle this once and for all.

I bought this arrow as a gold tail I believe. His cert says merlion gold tail. I've been told he is a green or red arrow but I want you ask all of you b/c this site seems to be the best for arrows.
So what is he?

where do you get the info that said green or red? merlion gold tail means RTG and from looking at the pics it is what the certificate said RTG. The shine and the red tail tell it all. Beside all small fish will have green color look on them.

looks rtg to me. your aros probably 5 inches right now? colour should come soon. my rtg didnt develop any gold rims until 7-8 inches.

heres a merlion gold tail at 8 inches. took this pic off the web.

RTG? Really. I never though my arrow was an RTG. Are RTG's not like $500 I only paid $200 for this one. BTW the fish is around 7.5"

 

[m_class2g]

$200?

thats not a bad price. merlion gold is a rtg tho. according to their website anyways. keep us updated and take more pics as he grows bigger!

 

[hondas3000]

$200 sound like 1.5 red. Any pic with no flash?

I will try to get some tomorrow but he moves very fast. BTW what is a 1.5 red?

Looks like my green did when it was young, i really think its a green

So I asked arrow village where I bought this arrow and she told me it's a yellow tail, green or 1.5 red. Not an RTG. I guess that preety much sums it up.

 

[RTG]

take it back and pay the difference for a RTG =D or Xback haha..

 

[m_class2g]

hmm i guess for 200 it would be too good of a deal to get a rtg. snow if i were you, sell that guy. you will be much happier with a rtg when its fully grown.

Nah I like him. I just wanted to make sure to see what kind he was. I do know what they look like when full grown and still look better than a silver which is all that matters. Infact I like these so much I'm going to get another 1 or 2 this summer when jay brings more in. Maybe I will also get and RTG but I doubt it. I'd rather spend a lot of money on a aussie lungfish rather than an arrow.
