no much tips. water change weekly or 10 days. just give MW as main meal, cricket just let him try recently due to it lose appetite to MW. mind to share yours? also HB? btw, nobody is perfect, mine aro have 1 side eyedrop.

thank you ^^ im currently putting this arowana under T5 light with white background...will that be okay? i cant really find some guides in the goggle bout colour tannings...i saw alot of arowana owners put black background ...hmm

hmm..perhaps i should take sometime to write an article about the background colouration and tanning lamps...it is a pain in the ass the explain the entire thing..

i try to make this simple as possible..

white background  =  increase shine of arowana, decrease intensity of colour depth

blue background  =    most natural background for arowana colour development in a natural way...
black background  =  intensify colour depth, decrease the shine (depending on the arowana gene)  a fake gold head are likely to fade away in black tank..yes, u DIDN'T read wrong, gold head can be made
ok..tanning lamp..

tanning = intensify colouration...red will be much redder depending on the lamp and genetics of the fish  and gold arowana will gets a better gold tone at the same time having burn-look-alike markings due to the tanning lamp..

erm....easy facts....i do not wish to explain in detail here..could take me 30minutes+++ jz to write all the detail..not yet even relating arowana to those background and tanning stuff..

i would prefer to keep a juvenile of any golden arowana in a white tank with normal white lights (WTT) until it reaches above 12inches before u started to lock it's shine and start to intensify and bring out the depth colouration of their shine

where did u bought ur MGBB from? Any full side view? Yr previous pics, i cant verify the quality of ur MGBB..

The differences of tanning ur fish early or tanning ur fish when it have mature is the overall development..

For goldie, if u tan it early or if u put it into black background early before it have even develop their teenage shine, the shine that are develop under that environment isn't as smooth and balance as those that are groomed under WTT before transfering it to a blue or black tank..

Usually for arowana, above 12inches is when they entering teenage..the shine and size will climb pretty alot that time..

So if u started tanning ur arowana below 12inches,  the shine that started to develop during teenage will looks like dot dot pattern not so smooth..meanwhile in a WTT condition the shine will develop very smoothly and then we started to lockdown the shine with some skills before we transfer it to darker background tank..so that the shine will stay before we starts to intensify the colouration..

This is grooming skills for goldie arowana..grooming skills for red is another different story..
I hope this helps u..and the skills i mentioned, i prefer to keep it to myself..

=P

Added on March 13, 2012, 8:05 pmand DE is a very very subjective issue..until now, i cannot figure out the real cause..even singaporeans who experiment arowana with the help of science could not give a 'for sure' answer..

But so far, the cause that are related to DE is,
-lighting
-food
-genetics

how much did u bought this piece bro?

sifu's im using the internal pump(i dont know what its called,its the type that suck water from below and squirt out at the front and on the filter on top)2000l/h.apparently they said 2000l/h is sufficient for a 4ft x 1.5f x 1.5f but im seing particles in the water..fine one..floating in the water..not sure its normal or not..i thought its because of the filtering media..i used the white cotton like filter plus the green that look like pot scrub in the kitchen..lol...any idea any reason of this?

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...

if have time, check this out

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..

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
