Educated guess based on previous pic and the current one albeit a full side view shot would paint a better pic - the tail and the rear fins do not show the typical RTG or Malaysian Golden traits. The inner core of the scales have strong horseshoe markings typical of a Green Aro/Yellow Tail. The gold shine is now quite apparent though. It's highly likely a hybrid. What exact parentage resulting in this kind of hybrid is hard to ascertain. Could be several generations of hybridization.

Regardless, if you as the owner like the fish, very little else matters. Did it come with a certificate? If yes from which farm?

I hate to break it to you. It's a green aro and/or the so-called "1.5 aro" base on its horseshoe markings like one of the posters have pointed out. You may have been duped since there is no way for you to verify the serial numbers on the certificate. But still, it is a beautiful aro.

Ok.
I understood.
In True I am color blind, and to me is so difficult to see difference between some variations of color, like golden, Yellow and even the green. In my mind I can see some golden in her...
By the way, I will Keep posting new pictures: maybe a better shot can help you and others tô help me... LOL
But I agree: is a beautiful Aro...
Thanks.
 
It's not a true crossback. In fact, it's not even considered a crossback imo. It's very much a low grade asian arowana which some may call it grade 1.5 red, grade 2 red or even a banjar red.
 
How do we grade an aro
So from now on when I see them I can understand what grade they are
