XB Golden from OTF at $200 is a good price.
For a start and having a XB; this would be great fun.
Pump it up, good water parameters and some Shanda Gold Tanning may help to boost it (tanning is suitable when fish reaches 10 - 11" in size)
There are also schools of owners who may wish to do White Tank Treatment (WTT) to let the shine climb faster.
Depends on how u wanna view the fish... WTT makes the fish looks paler but of cos the trade-off is a shiny platinum looking Aro with level 6 pushing/ crossing...
Bad news is - the fish turns duller / less shiny once u end the WTT and put back into black tank.
As a read up on DFI and some other pages - WTT is best to do it till 12" more such so that the shine can hold/ stay better with less fading... U decide bro.
Last but not least - read up on sources of good food and Aro vitamins. Frogs are always good and Market prawns are less troublesome due to easy storage in fridge.
Have a fun experience rearing aro my friend
