The Polkadot Super Red Arowana, also known as the Polkadot Crossback Super Red Arowana, is a type of Asian Arowana (Scleropages formosus) prized for its unique and striking appearance. It is characterized by a predominantly golden base color with distinctive dark spots resembling polka dots, particularly on its flanks and back. The "Crossback" refers to the coloration extending across the fish's back, a trait highly valued by collectors.
Key Features:
-
Elongated Body:Like other Arowana species, the Polkadot Crossback has a long, slender body, reminiscent of a mythical dragon, which is why it's sometimes referred to as a "dragon fish".
-
Large Scales:The fish is covered in large, shimmering scales that can appear metallic and reflective.
-
Polka Dot Pattern:The most distinguishing feature is the pattern of dark spots on the scales, often more prominent on the back and sides.
-
Crossback:A "Crossback" Arowana has the Golden & Red coloration extending across its back, a trait often associated with high quality and value.
-
Color Variations:While primarily Golden & Red, the Polkadot Crossback can have subtle variations in color intensity and spot patterns.
