Arowanas

Post your Arowanas Large and Small, I'll start.

This is my baby Aro, between 12 and 15cm long, had him/her almost 2 months, he/she was about 8 cm when i got him/her, he/she eats crickets and bloodworms and lots of them. Heis currently living in the sump of my 2.5m tank till he is big enough to get on with my other fish.

 

Anyone out here got aros???

 

looking at them.. what other fish you got in the tank

 

yea im also looking at them battleing to find ones i jhb that are in good condion hey!

 

i saw some nice ones at the one whole saler down here....

 

thats cool Henk but how do i get them up here wihout been hurt i would love to buy two but my problem in that case would be the transport and the extra costs involvd hey henk.i might end up doing that if things dont get sorted out but thanks Henk

 

you should be able to find them... they come in on almost every import

 

ok cool well im not to sure where to look for tem imports but these shosps p here seem to not have and when i saw i look i mean i have been out east west south and north of jhb even some shops in pta i found two shops who had but the arrowana was lathargic and looked quiet ill as fhe was bullied in some cases

 

got to PetStop in PTA or VIPets in jhb and ask them to get some more you....

 

i shall do so and then take it from there

 

Yes I have to keep several years of arowana and I have a farmer-fish friend in Peru who reproduced.

i have a 45cm arowana jardini in a 1000ltr corner tank its a bad ass he owns the tank when we feed blood worms he eats like a half a slab on hes own

 

You better start warning the neighbour's kids. When he grows up eventually, he might eat them.

 

hehe yeah

 

So you feed the fish only blood worm?

 

no i feed him arowana pallets and once a week blood worms
