Hi, this Arowana was sold as a RTG by the LFS and it came without a Certificate (when asked for the certificate they said its to lower the cost of the fish) 🤷‍♂️
What you think is this a RTG or a 2nd Red ?

Looks like an RTG to me.



A shop to avoid.
This Importer/shop used to Directly import fish from Qian Hu farms earlier for many years, but however this time they had these so called RTGs and Golden full helmets for very cheap prices. They didn't had chip and certificates for the Golden full helmets also.
I did asked them whether these are locally bred or some other variety (2nd Red ) they said its RTGs ( they had 12-15 fish)

all asian arowana come under cites, so they cant be sold without a cites certificate, the certificate doesn't guarantee quality, just gives information on source and the tag id, and what the farm identifies the fish as.

can you share a pic of the fish in good lighting.
