have chip and cert or not?and how much are you proposing..can message me or pm me..

I would prefer not to sell as at size 4 inch eat's mp also.. and the shine plus the gold care will be great later...

i would prefer id its more as well because below 5 inch the aro is not stable yet and chances of fatality is higher..but once you are ready open a price and we'll see where its goes from there..but wouldn't they fight if only the 2 of them?might need to setup another aquarium..

2 aro in one tank alone is usually deathmatch..one win become the king of the tank and one die..unless, rare case, the both of them pairing..but having a pair of aro pairing in a glass tank makes u the luckiest guy on earth..there is aro pairing in a glass tank but very rare case..

So if u wish to put two aro in the same tank, its gonna be a gamble..

Minimum number of aro to prevent deathmatch is 3..they have to be well fed to prevent hunger thats gonna cause fighting..but again, 3aro in a tank will require the minimum tank size of 6 footer..

I heard that need to put minimum 5 piece..n dat also will fight n 1 will die..the advice given to me is to buy it from small in a pair..but its freaking expensive..huhu..feeding shouldnt be a problem..can we mix the breed..because im interested in gtting a red..maybe blood red..hmm..anyway..i hv done some more research n finally understand what is pearl..my aro hv two line of fine pearl at the bottom fin n for the top is 1 line of fine pearl..will it grow somemore?

mahathir how long is ur aro? u need give him more good food. so fair the golden scale not that obvios yet. btw i cant see any chu on top.

agree with travies.. i cant see any pearlies either..

actually i notice this long back.. but i dare not tell.. are u being conned for ur mgbb?

and having a tagged fish with certificate doesnt mean the aro it as what it is stated according to the cert..too many conman nowadays

around 10 inch only..

by good food what are you referring to?

i have given my aro :.

SW(doesnt really enjoy it..only eat when super hungry..
MW(same like SW)
Hikari food pellet-a waste of money..doesnt even want to nibble..will even swim away..end up the small carp that eat it..
cricket-a bit leceh because need to make sure the aro eat or else it might climb up the wire..out of the water..but the aro enjoy it..
carp-so far this is the easiest to feed..but will only give sometime as i heard it doesnt carry much nutritional value..plus might carry parasite..
prawn(the small transparent type)-my aro enjoy it but the prawn keep hiding behind the pump and always at the bottom..so worry might contribute to DE as the aro keep looking down to find the prawn(still this is just theory as noone really know what contribute to DE)

and it really broke my heart that the colour is still not becoming richer..the only thing that keep me going is that i just bought the aro for 1 month plus(believing that it can improve over time) and that this aro might be a female..and female aro colour is not as rich as the male...

any tips guys..i have tried the dark background..the high intensity light..but nothing seems to work..

i bought the aro when size 2.5 inch only.....

---

Added on March 21, 2012, 9:29 amsize around 10 inch then it's more or less same size as my bigger aro....if you bought it from as-sakinah then i would say it will be okay as he is a good trader.......

Diet best for an aro is live food or MP's (prefered with shell's)

If your aro is not eating then it will be fine as aro tend to survive longer with no food... just let it puasa for a week n do regular WC (water change) more frequent to improve the water para n the aro's appetite.

My WC for a week on my 6x2x2 n 5x2x2 tank is 30% every 2 day's.... all my aro n ray eating well but not full all the time only 70% full

Mahathir, yr fish almost a year rite? same like me last time as my rtg also seem slow growing when keeping in 4x1.5x1.5.
1.5 yrs abt 13 inches only. After I transfer it to 5x2x2, within a mth hv grown 2-3 inches. regarding yr aro mgbb...maybe can ask sifu here to hv a look, if not upto that quality, go change fast fast lah. money not easy to earn ler....

hmm..in that case i'll try to change the aqua and see..for the quality..any sifu willing to advice me on the quality of my(most likely female) mgbb aro?the pic i have uploaded is it sufficient or require other view?

hope can help me as im panicking now..i though the colour is due to female and due to still only 10 inch..arrghhhhhhhhhhhh

ur MGBB is okay....just need to transfer to black tank... the shine is there... just need to take care of the water quality...and turn on the light's 24/7 after 3 month then u'll see the gold tone come out...

btw ur in cheras kan... maybe we can tt some time.. i'm in kajang

from the pic can see the shine..nothing to worry lah. like wmkr said take gd care of water and appetite will increase. later tankmate also missing...

ahh, this pic can see the pearlies..not full pearlies..i would say this is a mid grade MG..it is rare to find a high end BBMG nowadays...

But still to verify, will need to see the fish in person..dare not confirm here..

hmm....some relief now...fuuuhh...in term of background im using dark blue at the moment..will change it to black once i got free time..lights : im using high intensity 24k light which i will turn on for 18hour..and when i go to sleep aproximitely 6 hour i will change into the normal magenta light(purplish display light)..

so now all i need to do is just wait..yeah we can meet up and have tt..nearby also..

Added on March 21, 2012, 12:23 pmlol...talking about that..yeah few of the tank mate missing already..and i saw it tried to bite the bandaraya yesterday..and the bandaraya is bigger then its mouth..lol..

notice your water is abit yellowish. did u do WC weekly? what kind of lighting u having? i can see the golden scale is there but u need enchance it. btw, i think after u keep it for 6 months it will be pretty nice already.

i do WC at least a week once 20-30%..about the yellow water..im puzzled myself because when i first baught the fish i put in clear water(the solution is yellow)dark water(the solution is brownish) therefore resulting the yelowish water..i have stop adding more dark water as my aro is calm now and water is not greenish so i stop clear water as well..but water is still yellow..my friend say it might be due to the light..a high intensity light(arowana light(not sure what brand) 24 k....im not sure..im going to buy a new light after the salary is out..but seriously im puzzled as you are on why the water is yellowish..

just update my goldie all comment are welcome goob or bad

my xb 14inch can put in black tank ka? all bro kasi advise




and my 24k g.head 10inch so and so only

guys need advice..

1.my water are still yellow..i've done WC of 30% ysterday and add in the ussual,the vitamin,the salt,anti clorin,amonia down,clear water(rarely use) and dark water(im trying to boost the colour,although the solution is brown and immidiately turn the water to yellow,also very rare i will use it)..i will change the light later as i think this might be due to light..have anyone encounter this before?

2.yesterday i went back and i had a shock of my life that there's a cut on my aro's head..dont know where she get it from..most likely bump into the pump or something because all the carp and prawn are hiding there..any advice on this..will the aro cure on its own or should i put in medication..like melafix or something like that(saw it in lfs)
