Nice aro! Great body shape and nice fins.. Look out for its scales as it grows older, the colouration will start to kick in later on and approach the higher scale levels..

Also, avoid using mealworms as feeder, 'cos even though it's good protein, I've heard of aros dying from mealworm shells getting stuck in their gut.. Not worth losing a few grand over a measly mealworm shell haha..

Keep us posted! :D
