the number of fries in the male's mouth .They will look at the adult male
Arowana and it's tag number to confirm whether it is a red or a golden
dragon fish. All this information will then be kept at the department.

the officials will be informed so that they could tag these young fishes
as well. In addition, each fish is also issued with a 'Certificate of Identity'
