Super Red is determines Red arowana which has Rings and Cores developtment
It just two types of them ; Blood and Chili (as i described on attached posted article)
Wheter why suddenly appear names like Ultra Red,Papaya Red and many other its just a confuseness of people which just identify the fish as they like (just like LuoHan Chiclids ,which are many Malaysians give any name as their like to name it) Like Ultra Red it just a good grade Chili Red , Papaya Red is just abandoned Super Red which not developt colouration because misstreatment or else.

Believe me dude! i knew aro since 1986 , just choose BR or CR you like , dont confused with SR or else , is there any of 'the more expensive' SR could beat quality of my personal Chili Red and Blood Red?

bro do u mean all sr only can catogerise to br/cr...?
wht ever sr is only br / cr ?right?
but how come br more expensive then sr?
maybe just because of the quality is low grade?

Just watch yours , is it clasified as BR or CR as i mentioned at described post? ,
You may start tanning at any age/size but beware not to overtan a small/young juvenile because the pigment may become overtanned and become blackened (you may call it like a "sunburn")
No , glass material did a little blocked UV rays but it means nothing compare to water material , i mean water ,the depthness of water are like filter for ray /light ,especially UV , i had an UV metering device to measure UV level (waterproof) ,so i used it to detect UV level underwater and to check expired date of my aquarium light

Hi bro,I had bought two different fish,one having the shape like CR and another like BR,but the cert shown only state super red,both fish is from Jakarta FLS.Can I said CR/BR is still under super red????

For less than 15cm is better not let more than 4-5 hours of tanning
, for less than 25cm is better not let more than 6-8 hours of tanning .
I personnally believe to tanning not more than 12 hours a day just to give a balance of fish's bioryhtm and biocycle of the pigment cells .

No bro, I got what u meant. I just thought that there are other bros who might get confused with the marketing names of SR out there

Btw, now that you've gotten your new red, what do you think that is? BR or CR? perhaps picture can help many bros out here sharing their opinion as well. Cheers
