![]() How to determine Chili or Blood Red :
Seems like everybody especially rookie trader of Arowana has misidentified the SuperRed type , especially between Chili and Blood Red I knew there are many line up of names like Ultra Red , Papaya Red , Panda Red and Metal Red and etc. but lets get back to the roots , the anchestor of real SuperRed Aro variety now, I . Blood Red ,commonly named GudangGaram Red or MerahDarah Red first in Indonesia back in 1986 , it’s a variety of Super Red which identified as follow : a. Ussualy bigger than chili Red at same age after more than 6month old b. Body , broader dan rounded shaped ,especially at the edge . The eye looks smaller, and bigger head compare to ChiliRed , fan (rounded) shape tail and also broader too c. Colour , bloodred always developt colour faster and reach adult colouration earlier than ChiliRed , the rings will be thickened up to fill the whole core scale (outside to inside), then reach the full red scale stage , also Bloodred will crossedback the rings (6th level) earlier than chiliRed , but remember the rings of Bloodred is very ununiform in shape and thickness , somehow it will look very untidy compare to uniformed shape rings of ChiliRed II. Chili Red , commonly named Marlboro Red or Cabe Red at early years in Indonesia a. Ussually smaller (a bit) than BloodRed b. Body , slight slimmer (more streamline shaped) , most of the fin looks had narrow edge on the corner , most ChiliRed had longer fin than BloodRed ata average but not always so . Tail is diamond shaped and narrower than BR , its very difficult to determine male or female ChiliRed at premature adult size below 40cm . Also in composition ,Chili Red’s eye will looks larger compare to BR’s eye due to its smaller head shape c. Colour . ChiliRed always developt colour slower than BR , but it’s a different breed and type of rings model , Chili will looks very uniformed rings and most of them had slight green core / violet green core . Chili looks very tidy and uniformed rings in harmony with its body shape Becareful there are many crossbreed and mutation of SuperRed variety like for example : BR&CR crossbreed , BR&BanjarRed crossbreed then the F2 crossed again with SR ,etc Always looks for well known reputation trader and farm when choosing aro . ( Up next article , how to developt colouration , my own method sharing experience ) |
