wow, thats really nice and shiny ^^ i love the gleamy red with a tinge of gold!!
lol your ray is so cute!

hey just wondering rite....if we make the aquarium background like yours blue or black...does it actually affect water temperature?
i mean i've heard rumors that different colors can attract heat and some dont or something like that @.@


btw..how big is your tank?

i just re-measured my tank...its like 4ft in length and 1.5ft in width and 1.6ft in height.....
what concerns me most is the width :S i scared cannot turn well lol....but if i buy an arowana about 5-7inch....it will take about 1 year to reach about 12inch which shud be ok i guess @.@ then the growth slows down....and i will have aproximately another year (2 years in total) to get a 5x2x2 or larger tanik rite?

Wud it really be ok? sorry lol

i also planning to keep the gravel in there....1) to make it look nice ( i guess less glare from the light reflection on the ground) 2) for my undergravel filter to continue to be in use (i'm using a eheim 400 filter too no worries lol)

for mine of that size i guess i'll have to remove most of the plants to make space :S

I guess i will need to put up my current one for sale....i think i'll go for aquarium first then arowana lol...

Thanks for the heads up Saif

nola...can get aro before aq wan...mine is able to take small one for now...but i lazy wan so i will go for aq 1st....

Today went shopping for aq...huhu...pricy pricy like spicy spicy lol

Devilisin got my biggest ornate today lol...i hope he really happy with it hehe 12inch lol shud be able to be friends with his aro i hope haha

I thinking of getting a nice rouned corner aq, 5x2x2...shud be good enuf to hold a matured adult aro rite?

how much would that cost proximately(those with cabinet)? lol if i buy that big then i guess i cant go for the beautiful design like rounded corners and all :S

hmnn...shud be ok guah...will have to go scout and ask again.....then i'd probly not get those rounded corner ones lol since it will be going a bit over budget >.< and i gotta have a cabinet cuz i will need to drown down the air pump noise, if metal stand leaving the air pump open, the noise will kill me lol

strangely... in life you most likely would find them encouraging the opposite when you are in working life lol

Saif Sifu , i not very sure. For Blood red its darker red and the red is on the core of the scale?

thanks again Saif yeah, i might be the newbie now, later there are gonna be others as well, so might as well ask and try to build up our knowledge ma.....hehe

Its always fun to inspire more ppl to join the same interests and hobbies ^^ the more the merrier maaaaaa
me also ....comming soon lol

To add to our arowana knowledge base, here as quote from http://www2.wbs.ne.jp/~arowana/efaq.htm
"Q: What is the difference between chili red and blood red?
Q: Are chili red better than blood red?
A: "Chili Red " and "Blood Red " are names for wild arowana. Chili red live in the south area of the Lake Sentarum in Kalimantan. Blood red live in the northern area. A chili red has a "spoon" head, a blood red has a "cannonball" head. A chili red has a diamond shape tail, a blood red has a fan shape tail. A chili red has green skin, a blood red has darker base. Both become red. They are different strains, so it is worth nothing to say which is better.
I should mention again those names are for WILD fish. We can purchase only farmed fish, and they are cross bred ones. It is nonsense to discuss "Is my aro chili or blood?" Only we can purchase are "1st grade red". Of course "Chili red TYPE" or "Blood red TYPE" do exist."


I was just wondering rite...lol...if there was such a possibility....haha...to tatoo the fish LOL....put like Man.U or Ferrari logo hahaha....sorry...stress from work make me love to talk non-sense

Saif,....i wana come rob you of your aquarium and superb red horr LOL

Nah its ok, i still have the brother ornate here with me

i was just reading about nitrosomonas and nitrobacter haha....i always had that curious itchy mind on these bacteria and how they grow etc....very interesting...if only i was rich enuf to afford the equipment casually to observe the developments of the bacteria hahaha. Its realy a small small world!!

Argh me working hard like hell everyday ....with my sole motivation on getting larger aquarium and a nice arowana

I feel i might not have the budget for the 6ft ler...i'd probly stick to 5x2.5
After taking a look at those 6footers i was like...gawd...thats really huge lol my gf say it will be too "kuah-cheong" in my room....
So i gonna get my bigger aq 1st, then my young red aro, and see how things go
From viewing saif's vid on his red, it seemed the aq size is good enuf for me d wan when it gets really big only i will progress from there onwards....hopefully it bring me luck in wealth and career advancement then i can give it better and bigger home too hahahahahaha thats called partnership!!!
