>.<" eewww pulling the legs out ....eeewww!!!! >.<"

if that were the case i wud rather just cut the mp into tiny pieces/meal worms and feed or give those long kang fish (healthy quaranteen passed). lol

haha sorry sorry , i meant, all the sifu's

groass la...crushing the head and pulling the legs omg omg *faint*

i personally wont use any chemicals to clear algae :s

to me algae growing means water is healthy and its cycling + algae actually is beneficial lol...they eat up nitrates and nitrites

just that its ugly looking

just get a fei fong / pleco and algae problem is solved xD

lol watdah =.="

at least mine is just open froggie mouth and feeding it (forced feed)

>.< unlike crushing the cricket head and pulling its legs off....all the cricket juice...eeewwwww !!

sorry...i got a big of phobia with these crickets and cockroaches ....cuz when i young...i travelled to school...one morning blurr blurr just put on my shoe and rush to school....

i felt some kinda thing in my left shoe at the toe...like...seemed to be a bit prickly...then i just like wateva tot it was some grass is ok wan...since i rushing so i just can take it out later when i reach school first....then ar...it felt a bit cold and wet when i reach school ...at my toes i feel like...getting worse and worse...more slimy =.="

so i took out my shoe and shake shake...all the cockroach parts came felling out....like sick shit man...i'm seriously its like totally @#$@

and my sock...it was all goey and greenish yellow....

so yeah...thats how i got this phobia lol

wah nice and big le!! perfect too...not like ultra bulky as commonly seen

dunno much about tanning but if it can make your aro redder without harming its eyes then i guess so gua haha


good to see your baby grow so cool looking now


Reds FTW!!!!!

hehe i think will grow wan le saif, just that adult arowana's growth rate is slower only gua

by the way....where do we get tanning lights?

i've gone to lfs around my place and to kin fatt they dont have any....and Kin Fatt himself also told me he never use before uv tanning lights...he just told me that it will kill the fish lol

so confused with regards to this tanning light thingy >.<"

huh? eat until gill bleeding? o.o?!

what small prawn? issit ghost shrimp?

hmnn saif bear and wmkr bro's

which kinda lights are you referring to for the tanning which is also for plants?

cuz i've looked around a lot seriously i cant find any arowana tanning lights...all the lfs say that the normal t8 t9 red lights will do :S

are lighting for plant is the white light?

these lighting for plants are likely to cause de?

ok...i will make mini uv protection sun-goggles for my aro and put under intensive tanning

hmnn i feed ghost shrimps every once in a while

what size is your aro again ar?

one thing you need to take note of when feeding ghost shrimps ...actually any type of prawn or shrimp for the matter....

is that they all got this razor horn thingy sticking outta their head...

when i feed the ghost shrimps i will use my nail to break off as much of the horn as possible...without breaking or squashing their eyes as well =.="

Once i break then i will hold them by the long feelers and let the aro chomp em down lol....that way the aro doesnt go zig zagging madly around trying to get the shrimp ....and therefore less accidents happen that way too

haha yeah,,,,very good choice there

if me i oso wud've considered heavily too xD

me been going around today from lfs to lfs....cuz i'm so bored =.="

searching for the arcadia tanning lights....

of all....i only found one who actually did sell but have no stock for 4ft ...have to wait for re-order

for those that dunno plz take a look at this link:
http://www.arcadia-uk.info/product.php?pid...an=en&sub=&id=4


i'm err.... gonna give it a try lol

the cost is rm333

haha thx bro saif

will see la....cuz now my aro is oledy about 10 inches with some orangish already spreading around the cheeks....the rims oledy showing fadishly

i'll just experiment a bit and see loe, if its feeling stress then i will put on top of aquarium instead of side to give it a bit more natural sunlight feel lol...and also i only follow natural daytime sunshine 12pm-6pm then close d

i dun believe in tanning 24/7 all that

as for pumping, my aro's main diet is mp
mp stuffed with tetra and hikari pellets

if i feel a bit pocket money to spare and extra rajin i will even soak the cut mp stuffed with tetra hikari in azoo vita solution then hold it 1cm above water with chopstick and let the aro chomp it straight down.....all the nutrients intact lol

that shud be more than enuf to pump it guah lol lol

haha i just hope that the acadia uv tanning for red is as it is stated and not something else....as in i hope it really just mimics the sunlight and not some bizzare uv shooting spree blinding me and my aro hahaha

cuz i read up some of the uv science stuff and too hard to understand all the uva and uvb amounts and all....

hehe nola...i free on weekends will do this kinda stuff loe
thats just how occupy my time on boring weekends with this cool hobby ma
otherwise i will be out watching movie or fishing prawns for the aro hahaha....can't get any fresher than getting it fished from a pond huh LOL

@bensow
for sw ar just make sure the food your put in is as dry as possible....
bro bear is right wan...if you want to keep mass quantity, best to keep them in tray to spread em out for more oxygen and allow the heat to get carried away too....if kept in a bucket they are over and on top of each other buried under each other all the heat and less oxygen will kill them...

easiest food to feed them is to buy those 'SA pellet food' really cheap cheap wan for guppies to eat....just shake the tiny pellets down like salt for them to eat lol
