No problem man! What are the people in this forum for? And I love oscars too... I have 2 in my tank- one albino one is my bro's which is now just 7.5cm and my tiger oscar in my pic <<- which is already 12cm and have no problems with my 18cm aro(except during feeding time )

And maybe I'll hold the 6footer idea until after PMR I think... So I can save money and also concentrate on studies. Judging by my arowana's growth rate and other people's silver aro growth rate, my aro should be around 1.5feet next Oct/Nov

I've set up a 4ft tank just 2 days ago and waiting for my arowana =D ( possibly tomorrow ) i think it will hold out in this tank for awhile :/

I just finsihed pmr xD

No problem!

Persuade your father to buy it for u. Keep asking from him but of course u have to ensure that he is in good mood before asking. Eventually he'll buy for u. Trust me!

Added on December 8, 2009, 3:41 pmU're very clever.

This is called diplomatic strategy. It should work out for every father most of the time.

Yeah... Few LFS mentioned that

And I'm afraid that my father is not the kind that can be persuade... Last time when I mentioned the word upgrade to bigger tank he straight just say: No lah, you got so big tank oredy, still want meh?" My parents don't support my fishkeeping one... I think paying for it is the best way.. Last time I persuade him many times about getting me a laptop, he keep refusing until I said I will pay. Then he oni agree... Economy is tough now.. And I dunno where to start if I persuade him. Plus I break down easily...

Thanks

Can't agree more. Upgrade to a bigger tank, ben! Don't waste your rm100 buying a stand.

Added on December 8, 2009, 3:54 pmThe keywords are persistent and perseverance. Don't easily give up. Every man has a soft spot and most of the time; his wife and children.

When he is in good mood just say to him;

1) Dad, I love to have a 6' tank.
2) Dad, is it ok if u buy me a 6' tank?
3) Dad, my friend's aquarium is nice. Can I have it, please?
4) Dad, if I really study hard this year and get to be top 3 student, can I have a 6' aquarium, please?


Use those words over and over again every 3 or 4 day when he is in good mood. U'll get it! But don't cry, just talk to him nicely and in a sweet manner.

hey ben im in smk seri hartamas.guys im getting arowana tomorrow.any tips to making it feel no stress for the first few days ?

what type of fish u wanna to take..
1st of all, if you want to put inside the tank, test it or run the aquarium around 2-3 days and put the tester fish, if the fish survive then it ok to let the arowana go in. if not, dont buy the fish 1st.. setting the water 1st.. i never buy the Ph tester and so my silver still big bigger and more bigger then before, almost 1 year i keep her and it so peace to see the fish swimming around.

show us after get the fish...

Hey Devill I'm in MBSSKL... Different school... My tank run for at least 2 weeks before I got my arowana. Although I use old filter, old gravel, old water I still cycle it for 2 weeks.

easy tips i give for new silver arowana..
close the top of the aquarium very2 closely or u will see your fish swimming outside the aquarium. kekeke.

Hahaha,if fish swim outside the aquarium,can make beadsprout with salted fish dish for dinner..

so do u think my tank is safe for arowana ? i put my gold sifh as test subjects yesterday for a whole day and they were fine.

so then it fine to let it go lor.

Yeah goldfish survive than it will be fine. That means no sudden temperature change because this easily kills goldfish. And are you sure the goldfish are "disease free"? They may pass disease to your precious dragon fish...

And what do call "bulk order" in chinese? I want to buy feeders and wholesale price and my LFS is chinese based, the people dunno english...

Thanks

yea their disease free.their 3 years old edi xD

Red update,bout 18 months old.enjoy!!
