CROSSBACK GOLDEN AROWANA

Cross Back Arowana is a natural colorant variant that is originated

from the Bukit Merah Lake in Perak, Malaysia.  The Cross Back Arowana

is the most beautiful golden color variant of the Asian Arowana.  And

in the lake, different populations in the smaller tributaries have its

own subtle difference compared to other populations. Like all Cross

Back Arowana, the gold rims on the scales reach only the 4 throws of

scales when young but will spread towards the back until they reach the

6 th level upon maturity.  Thus, its name “Cross Back” means “Golden

coloration crossing over the back”. The Full Gold Arowana has a gold-based core and a gold trim on the outer edge.  A good specimen will

appear as a solid piece of gold when is fully matured. Traits of a

Full Gold Arowana are lighter color fins and eyes as compared to the

other varieties of Cross Back Arowana.  All Cross Back Gold Arowana

are graded according to how fast the gold rims of the scales reach the

6 throws scales.
