Would you have a recent photo of the aro?

Here’s how he looks now, about two months later:

Yep. Juvenile RTG. Not a Red.

This is with 100% certainty yeah? So that means I was duped. I’m getting an rfid reader. It’s outrageous my supplier knowingly sold me a rtg with a certificate for a super red. Fml

Quite possibly an RTG, but I am not convinced.

Yep. A juvie red would have red/orange color on the dorsal, caudal and anal fin. Your fish doesn't have that red/orange color on the dorsal fin. I also see faint thin gold rims around the scale that's starting to come in. A bit of gold specks around its face/gill cover as well.

Trust the breeder. Red arowana takes a long time before it peaks. Your patience will be rewarded. Godl peak earlier.
