Flash the Red Dragon (Arowana)

Apparently frogs are also ment to be very high up on there menu, did you also get it threw wazeers
please keep pics coming

 

@tanked72, thanks
@top dog, Yes, I see on other forums and websites that a lot of the guys also use frogs.
Just worries us a bit how it affects the bio load and as they get bigger, Cesar's ones eat pieces of fish and shrimp as well so I havent gone the frog route at this stage.
They also use pinkies but thats heavy bio load too.. so will see how it goes

Yes, she came in via Wazeers as well but I have kept in touch with Snoopy's breeder (Cesar's RTG) and I had asked them to let me know when they had one available which they did, then Wazeer's handled the transport and paperwork etc for me.

 

Gorgeous fish, congratulations! The red aros are my favourites. Keep the pictures coming as she grows up! :love::love::love:

 

Thanks, I will
I have to say I am amazed at her temperament
Usually Aros are very sqittish until they settle and even then it takes some time for them to accept you
This one, ate the day it landed.. very unusual ... by the second day it came closer to my hand and by the third day its coming to take the food from my hand
For an Arowana... this is not very common

 

Cool fish Maria! Are you keeping it under red (pink) light?

 

Super jealous! One of my dream fish.........sorry off on a fantasy.

 

Interesting link I found on MASA now https://reefbuilders.com/2016/07/18/asian-arowana/

 

ROFL "little did the author know that she was dealing with smugglers, terrorists and criminals, purely due to a translation/language problem, they thought she was looking for 'marijuana' not 'arowana'.. rookie error!!"

 

Thanks @Jwh..
No, I have normal daylight globes

I have one blue globe which I switch on when I get up in the morning and its still dark, to wake up the kids without startling them awake.
After a while then I switch on the rest of the lights

 

@SterlingAce, Thanks..

Yes, I had seen that article, its crazy.

Jokes aside , I believe that many a crime is commited because of the Asian Arowana in that part of the World
@Vis, poor woman....

Wonder how these people sleep at night

Thanks@BoelderBeestie, yes... I have watched that video and yes... I did sob my heart out...
