A "Love Tail Super Red Arowana"refers to a specific Super Red Arowana variant known for its long, extended fins, particularly the tail fin, which are highly valued by hobbyists. These fish are bred from the Asian Arowana (Scleropages formosus), known for their dragon-like appearance and large, metallic scales. The "Super Red" aspect refers to the intense red color that matures over time, with its hue deepening from juvenile stages.
