hi all...just want to ask some noobie question here..is it ok for me to do wc every 2day once??wc is 50-70%...advice needed.all single fish in 4footer..biggest is about 16inch smallest is only about 6inch..

dont think like that. keep fish for the love for keeping fish, not for showcase.

i never put any of my aros, be in xb or rtg in wtt.

Me too i dont do wtt also. Hey bro hows ur pnt doing?

4ft is juz nice for a Arowana bro

u can get a MG , MGBB , Crossback

if budget constrain, u get get a HB

RED aros grow fast and big than any golden type

doin well...had some issues with infection on the wounded shell but settled after antibiotics.

U keeping it with aro? Any issues? I separated them after PNT showed a lil aggression.

Latest update of mine : https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...620&p=62670634&

yup..only 1 xb, now at 12 inches, 1 year old..

So it's not due to the diet?

I mean, if genetic, then do anything also like no point, right?

yes but some believe it does help.

i aint a sifu so i juz share wat ppl told me to do....

its genetic for sure

sum did operation to cure it too

^ OIC.

Am not convince that putting pingpong balls may work, but am giving it a try.

Was looking in the google, and came across a site, which mention that the cause of DE is due to the change in how the aro catches their food.

As usually my diet for the aro are dead animals, then it usually fell to the base of the tank, which in turn makes the aro's eyes to turn downside to catch their food.

LOL may be total bonkers, but just sharing.

Anyways, aro senses their food using visual or smell ?

try to feed live animals bro

like cricket or supwerworm which floats on the surface

so that they look up for food, they use the barbel to sense, thats why aro can hunt in dark

Would like to share with everyone here about the pellet that easily accepted by my Red aro (It has been eating pellets of brand Azoo and Hikari, but not much, each time around 10 sticks only).

Surprisingly when I threw in this pellet by OF - Ocean Free, my Red finished more than 30 sticks off easily and still asking for more. It was biting other tank mates that attempted to eat the pellets as well...lol...

Anyhow, I'm still feeding variety of foods i.e. MP, worms, feeder fishes, bull frogs, will try to convert its staple diet from MP to pellet.

So for those wishing to feed pellet to their aro, no harm trying the starter pack which is selling for RM3.90 only.

Hi guys.

Just now I fed my aro a big size prawn (cut in half, and I gave him the rear portion).

Usually my aro would swung around a gulp the prawn almost immediately.
However, this time he kept the prawn in his mouth (can see part of the prawn jutting out from his mouth).

Is this normal?

Or should I yank out the prawn from his mouth?

Juz leave it bro , it's alrite
