aloha...

i think u should take off the carbon coz carbon will absorb and lost it..
recommended add aro vitamins after u make water change.

Greetings all !! im new here

I just got my first aro a month ago , since its my 1st aro i started off with a yellow tail silver .
The seller told me its a yellow tail silver , but seems more like a green arrow to me -.-
im not sure too. But ima uploads some pics when im free haha. working now.

bro wanna ask why my 3 silver aro not fighting each other but my 2 highback fight each other?

are highbacks more territorial than silver aro?

Bro, when you mentioned adult, how old is considered adult ?

Yeah.. Almost to get my own tank... 6x2.5x2.5 with sump... Foc 5x2x2 aqua only... So lucky here..

so jelly. give me la bro the 5x2x2.

Haha.. That 522 i keep for other project... Hihi... Buy need to make hole by own coz that 5ft dont have hold for sump filter..

Hi guys. New to this forum. I would like to ask your advice on these two thing.
1. I've just upgraded my aquarium to a 4' and just a few days ago, white stuff started to grow on the aquarium walls. No that heavy but i believe it is some kinda parasite. Will adding heater set at 26 degree solve this problem.
2. My arowanas start to have those white thing in the eye. I do believe that this is some kind of decease too. Will the step above + adding salt be able to solve the problem... ?

got pics of ur new tank bro? btw u drill using using what? teach me master.

Erm..put a basic guideline at2years old

I believe your too quick to transfer your aro to the new tank..

What I suspect is;
1) your aro already carried the cloudy eye fungus, but syndrome didn't show up previously due to immune system was strong in old tank..so when transfer to new tank, your aro got stress out hence immune system drop and the fungus grow..
2) water isn't cycled enough..
3) u stress u aro too much during transfer..

Yes..salt plus heater..set to 34 Celsius if your heater allow u to do so..

No feeding..

Dose vitamins daily on low dosage to prevent malnutrition which will lead to hold in head disease..

If the cloudy eyes got worse, go to lfs to get medications..fungus or external medications..

Meanwhile if your filter stuff is all new, wash em up again..

bro if my aro fight and its scale all jatuh what to do?

and i see its skin pn got luka.

Go hardware shop and ask for glass driller head..

When drill, don't forget to spray water to prevent overheat which will lead to crack..

I believe u can find some video on YouTube..

And also the hole, do not drill too near to the side..risk of cracking is high..

You are indeed right. I ran the new aquarium for two full days, and after changing water for the second time, i transfered the arowana to the new aquarium. I already bought a heater but the max capacity is only at 30 degrees whereas my current water temperature is already at 29-30 degrees..

Anyway, thanks for the advice bro... will try to get the vitamin from ur shop soon..

Hi all sifu, my aro had this cloudy eye which in early stage as I monitor the fish everyday, I manage to cure it within a week with coarse salt treatment however after it was cured I notice there is dark red circle around the pupil of both eye..is this normal for fish after recuperating from cloudy eye ? or another sign for internal bacteria infection ?

Thank-you

Any pic to show?
