and when u regret, u will tell urself to never hav that animal again...

no..that's not like it..u will be paying more to get a better one.. LOL

lol i lost many goldfish and i will never get another one XP

low grade red

How much did you paid for a low grade red?

I also have thoughts of getting the traditional Golden Arowana. What is it called now? I was at Legend, he quoted me in Cantonese 'High Back' For about RM 1K only.

high back for 1k.. how many inch ?

i still dun understand red aro and their grades, anyone mind giving small lecture? leong, dun post an essay ya XDD i am not a big fan of reading essays...

@eugene Its about 5 inches. Quite small. But he said they have bigger specimen too.

I just came back from Kien Fat Kepong. The aro on display was very impressive. Huge and majestic. I looked around the shop. Couldnt find a super red/Chilli on sale. Only some 1/2 and 2nd grade red at RM 350. Also on display are some aro priced around 6.5 K.

6.5k?!?!? wow

high back a....1k is a piece withour chip and cert...a highback with chip and cert will cause ya like 1.8k...
golden arowana distinguish by certain types...
there is highback(lowest grade of gold)
then crossback above 3.5k...depends on quality
and now a new breed, gold head...4.5k and above..


sure is a gold head....kin fatt they get their fish this way, this batch red aro, consist of chilli red, blood or super red...
then next batch gold...and so on..

if u guys really wanna get an arowana, go walk like 10-20 aquarium shop before u get one... lol
coz u will have to see and understand them..or else u will get one that u do not desire for once u know them better..
actually wanna explain these in words are kinda hard..u have to see for urself..
i been looking around for aro since early of this year...been to more then 20 lfs..but still looking on...still lots to learn..

is this gold head?

4 inch cant take 600L flow?? my 4inch silver was fine wif my 1000L flow.. mayb ur tank is too small lol... last time my powerhead is in the middle of the tank while my aro at the top.. he will get used to it one, it will let him exercise too

u can slow the flow rate a bit by attaching a sponge to the intake of the pump....the lfs shud sell the black sponge ...just ask them to show you how to attach the sponge
if the sponge is too big, u'll just have to get a razor blade to trim it down haha

also you can reduce the flow by turning it sideways if possible and let it only blow from the ground...where the water circulation will be lesser on the top area of the tank where your aro prefers to stay around

however based on your tank size, i wud recommend to start getting a bigger one soon

Agree with Leong. Since your tank is small, 600L flow might created too strong current for your aro to handle.

Regarding ur question, in my practice I've more trust in the aro gene itself. If it is XB, sure i will crossed no matter in what tank you put it in. Its just a matter of time.
