    nice ..hope you are ready to sacrafice the fish in the com tank ,little aro,s like to eat.just stay away from crickets and other insects until he is at least 15cm plus as the claws can hook inside and cause big problems...... good luck keep up the water changes and water quality high and he will grow super big and he will be chasing your oscars around this time next year.

    Congrats, my Arowana is my best fish purchase alongside my Shovelnose, I hope all goes well. Keep up the water changes and feeding and he will be with the big boys soon. What is he sharing that tank with? :D

    Edit: wow, Stormbringer just beat me to it.

    lol i did try feeding him crickets but he wasnt interested so i took them out (luckily) thanx now i know,the oscars didnt mind though:),his belly is looking well rounded his been feasting on the guppies i got from troy i think cause all my bro's fish seem to be accounted for,his away in dbn so i just hijacked his tank,the majority of fish shud be ok they big enough not to fit in his mouth except the kribs which could be a possible target unless they keep to their usual nature and stay amongst the rocks,and thanx to troy theres enough mollies and guppies to keep him fed.right now his in the 900mm with a pair of angels,kribs,rams,paradise gouramis a small airwolf and a siamese
