here in Asia the gold is devided into xback, xback 24k, rtg, golden, and the malaysian blue base golden xback.
 
Here are some hints if your are looking for a good quality aro: find one without DE (drop eyes), look for long fin, long n close tails , spoon head is much preffered, wide body is also favorable than the slim one, and also watch out for the lips! (Lower lip/jaw should not extend beyond the upper lip).
These are some of the basic criteria we use to select which aro is best to get.
 
Their colors are fairly easily told apart, and there are plenty of photos of each arowana type/specie on the internet. If you are unsure, type the name in and see what picture comes up.

Yea , I know a guy that's selling a chillie red , but am not sure if it's a real chillie or whatever , it's just like 6 inches long
