YTL = Yi Tiao Long (breeder, straine)
From mandarin, roughly translated means "one straight dragon". It refers to specimens where the top row of scales is formed perfectly in a straight line. There must be no gap in the row. This feature cannot be bred, it's pretty much luck.


TKL = Ti Kum Leng (breeder, straine)
From hokkien, a chinese dialect. Literally means lucky dip dragon. Functional meaning is "type unknown".

hi there William , i was wondering if you heard of a Silver ghost arrowana? is there such a thing? one of the females i have ( i believe it is a female ) is just like chrome silver , really bright almost looks white....she is 15inches and her color really stands out , is she a different type or arrow? i was curious because my other arrows have hints of red and such on the bodies..she doesnt , just greenish around the gills , but her color is really bright silver almost whiteish :confused:
