Black "Silver" Arowana

Saw this fish at my uncle's pond in Malaysia.

We hear a lot about Snow arowanas. How about "Black" Silvers? Are they rare?

BTW we did a bit of harvesting that day:

i'm sure i once saw a pic of a pure black asian aro in the net a few years ago too. forgot what site though, but i think the black silver is way more awesome

I'm confused. So who's fish does this black silver belong to?

That would make it melanistic? Nice shots.

It belongs to my uncle. It is a different fish from the one that bderick67 posted.

I'll post some close ups tomorrow. I've got to scan some of the pics as those were taken with a disposable camera (my camera ran out of memory )
