So, my story is this... I had bought a "Super Highback" Arowana that wasn't even Highback quality. More like a RTG because the gold shine would only go up to the 4th row. Grew him/her from about 6¨ to 12¨ or so and sold him/her, because I was disappointed (my dream was always to own a Crossback so I thought a Super Highback would be close to a Crossback).
That was the "Super Highback":
_____
Now after selling the Super Highback, I went on and bought a freshly imported "Bluebase Crossback". Came from the farm 'Wah Seah'.
Now, about 6 months later, he/she is about 12¨ big - and YET AGAIN - to me - he/she looks more like a RTG (or a bad Highback at best) than a Crossback.
This is the "Bluebase Crossback" (pic is about 3 months old, when he was about 9¨):
NOTE: that pic was taken with perfect light and a good camera. Thats mostly the only spot in my tank (close to the front glass and under the LED light), where you'll see some blue/purple shine. Other than that perfect spot, you don't really see any. But thats secondary to me, since my dream has always just been a Crossback.
He/she isn't a Crossback, right? Shine only goes up to the 4th level and just veeeeery slightly on the 5th.
