The title below my name does not make me a guru...listen at your own risk!...
you mean osteoglossum ferreirai?
looks very cute when it's young
not quite as cute when it's grown
how big? about the same as any arowana
i'd say maybe 1m
kelstorm, is it a juvenile fish? If so, the black aro will lose the black strips when it matures.
kelvin want to convert to freshwater ah
here's how they grow.
babies look like this
Juveniles look like this
and adults look like this not much of the black left..
LA.. no, i am not trying to convert to FW.. just trying to keep weird fish.. the young look so nice..but can't say the same for the adult..yucks..

Hey, just came across this Black Arowana in my new book today! What a co-incidence, cos I also find it very interesting as compared to the normal ones.
Osteoglassum Ferreirai, from the region of Rio Branco, a tributary of the Rio Negro in Brazil. "Size: Wild adult specimens run up to 40cm; juveniles of about 8cm are most often seen."
Right, the picture in my book must be a juvenile, cos my first opinion of it, was, "what a beautiful fish!"
GONG XI FA CAI! Hope at least some of you have received big $ (and also wives' approvals) to upgrade or buy new tanks! LOL!
P-L-E-C-O-R-Y=M-A-N-I-A!!! YEAH!
FLORENCE, capital of the region of Tuscany, has a population of around half a million inhabitants, spreads on the banks of the Arno, between the Adriatic and the Tyrrhenian seas, almost in the middle of the Italian peninsula. It is a city which bustles with industry and craft, commerce and culture, art and science.
Actually there is a true blue black asian arowana in Singapore. You can go to this site
Under field reports, go to "an anonymous arowana farm in Singapore I". The pictures of this black arowana which the author called Silhouette Black Arowana are included.
its a beauty....

Wks, the real black is the south american kind shown in the earlier pics.
THe one in the link is the much talked about famous one, which is more like a mutant form of the asian arowana. It is really black, but it is not the real Black Arowana.
The real red terror may not be the reddest fish in the world but it is called the red terror
Kel, the fish in the flesh is much more beautiful than when you see it in picture.
There are a lot of fish with intrinsic beauty that shows only with patience. The beauty is in the form and from within the fish , not in bright colouration
if i see that black asian arowana i'll keep him and treat him better then my yellow tail *love*
lsz, actually I prefer the aro with blue coloured scales and red tails. But somehow all the blue are covered by golden colour once they mature. Sigh...
are you talking abt crossbacks like bukit merah (not singapore one, malaysian area) blue?
i love all arowanas....they are very beutiful fish ..very unique and intelligent
lsz, no I'm refering to the new fish introduced by DFI. Its from Indonesia and called "Metal Red".
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
to sum it up...it's indeed a BLACK BEAUTY!!!
this has gotta be my favourite aro to date.
if u think abt it...black dragon in hokkien is "orr leng"...so i guess if u r a big-time blackjack player, this fish will give u gd luck becoz the "orr leng" may bless u with many "g'orr leng".

i thought that aro usually alone in 1 tank.. but i have seen tanks with 2-3 aros swimming together... wouldn't they fight? i thought that they are territorial?
