guys i just bougt a 4ft long tank which is 1.5 ft wide.how do i secure the 4 lids on the main lid ? D: pls show pics if anyof u have the same tank ( its the one with the plastic lid nit the wood one )

no bro i mean how can i make it ' arowana jump proof'

nonono above that.the plastic cover that comes with the tank.has 4 lids that can be taken off/on for easy access.im affraid my 'soon to come ' arowana will be able to jump out.any pics/ideas on how to jump proof it guys ?

what do u do ? did u secure ur lid or just take the risk :/

so urs is the newer plastic lid of the old school wood ? ha ha i think i will take the rish for now and later if hes realy jumpy.then i will weigh em down

saif can u take a picture of ur 4ft tank.i wanna get ideas on how to make mine 'arowana frindly'

lol no problem bro take ur time xD

saif u know the stand that came with'cha tank , is it strong enough to last for years ? (i think i have the same tank =D )
btw all the masters out there, is there any nice looking not so big fish that can be kept with arowana ? anything which is okay sized and not expensive ???

what about keeping an oscar with an arowana ? any1 know how much they costs and how big they get ?

thanks for the info bro.the aro im planning on buying is about 15 cm long (still a baby silver) how much does a oscar cost and do they have any classic names that the small lfs will know ? ( like pleco = bandar raya fish , u know that sorta thing) or will they know when i ask for a oscar ? i dont wanna suddenly bring back a flowerhorn or something xD

Ben, u see first cause from the pics ur arowana doesnt look so huge yet.perhaps u should save up cash and buy a 6footer later on thisis just my two cents on the situation btw thanks bout the oscar info

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

lol jack thats what i did to get my 4ft xD.im getting a silver arowana tomorrow =D.should i not feed it tomorrow and day after i try to start it off with pellets ?

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.

yea their disease free.their 3 years old edi xD

i got my silver today.the water seems fine.btw moe i know the nitrogen cycle is the safest way to go but all the petshops i go to say : the test not realy worth it just let the tank run few days and test with fish.LOL and the arowana already eating pellets xD

ben i bought coral sand from petsafari for rm 13 per tupperware.took more 2 tupperwares to fill the whole tank.i think ur 6ft will need 3-4 of em.so yea you do the maths btw guys what can i buy as cleanup crew for my arowana tank ? ( otehr than plecos) and my arowana lieks to splash the water surface sometimes.any explainations ? i got him yesterday and hes already eating pellets like a pig xD hes about 10 inches and i got him for rm75

ben u have a point but if u add the coral sand and let the tank run for awhile it should do fine.i didnt have any other choice than 10" xD.yesterday i was making sure lid was secure and he tried making me have only 9 fingers xD
