how much did u bought this piece bro?

Guys when i bought my new arowana i added this anti fungal medicine into the water as a precaution , very light dosage.it gives out a green cloudy colour ( like most of this medicines) so it's been a few days and the green ness has warn off but the cloudy ness is still there.should a 10 % water change help in reducing it ? or any other ideas you guys have to handle thing ? maybe from experience.cause most of the meds i used to use last time don't really stain the water much.

what is the best meal for aro when it is 13 inch? I notice the appetize is not as good as before sometimes.

i heard when aro getting mature they are not eat as much as before? will i need to reduce giving their food?

2k wen its 9 inch..11month..its a bit cheaper then the rest because hv slight DE..wen i choose him..look like already ok..wen go home notice gt a bit DE..now pt ping pong ball n trying my best to feed floating food like mw,sw n cricket..should i follow the ur advice on the white background since my aro didnt reach 12inch yet..or black bground..

whether u shuld put white tank or black tank is up to ur preferences..

What needed to be explain has already been done..

Do update with us on ur MGBB growth..

travies, try changing to SW..MW looks too small for ur 13inces..if ur aro accept multiple diet..then feed multiple food is the best..try not to feed any cricket..bullfrog, juvenile catfish, tiny patin, sometimes some betta fish, SW, sometimes 2bucks of feeder, earthworm, etc, any small aquatic food that u think will feed into ur aro mouth.. And if ur aro accept multiple diet..

is it white colour.? how long have you own this tank.?

nola pigpig..just the normal glass tank..im thinking of getting the white fibre tank..btw im still not good in the filtering thing..but so far maintaining the ph..amonia and the chlorine at good level..but the particles in the water irritates me..it like fine bits that come out for SW when the aro bite it..

my goodness, am asking the colour of the floating particles...

owh..sorry sorry..my bad..its white..very fine..it come from the SW bits when the aro bite the SW..its floating in the water evrywhere...does it means my filter media isnt good enough or 2000l/h pump is not strong enough?hope can give me some advice as im not satisfied with the particle..call me aperfectionist but i want it if possible to be crystal clear...

again you did not answer all my question.. how old is ur tank..

few years..forgottenla pigpig..if im not wrong 3 years..someone gave it to me..4fx1.5fx1.5f..is it because its to old?the fileter is new though..and before i bought my aro..i have clean it and sterile it with hot water as well..not sure though..any idea why?

lol, seriously, if you are in front of me right now, im gonna give u a smack so hard you will remember me for the rest of your life.. okay, i dont care the age of your tank, just tell me, how long since you 1st started raring a fish in this tank...

Lol...hahahaha..owh..i rare the aro like a month plus..water change 30% 1-2 times a week..ill check the link in a short while

thanks leggedy. btw may i know what is SW?

OMG i didnt know aro food can be so many variable. cricket seem like alot for my aro, why cricket is not advisable?

any patin fish or any color betta fish also can? fish feeder like those small gold fish?

try not to feed any cricket..why leggedy?my aro seems to enjoy it..furthermore the guy i bought the arowana from said that cricket and MW is the main diet before he sold it to me..

simply becoz cricket are their most addictive food..once they tasted cricket, we will have a hard time trying to convert their diet..

SW means superworm, those big worm..MW, mealworm is those tiny ones..

One simple rules to feed ur aro, any food that can fit their mouth is fine..my red, eaten my duckhead patin long ago..i bought that fella for rm68..i tot it is so long that it wont be eaten..but the moment i put it in, my aro facial expression says, 'wow, sth new! Looks yummy..'

then it goes, CHOMP..only the head left turning left and right..seeing my rm68 gone within minutes..zzzzz

now that might be the answer why my aro is not interested with SW & MW..he will eat it if he's super hungry but the next day he wong eat it at all..cricket is the other way around..i can feed like 12-15 in a row..hmm..he eat feeder fish and prawn..also when he's super hungry..but cricket almost any time if i drop it he will just come and ngap...
