I guess lots of vacuuming? Ur filter can suck off the aro an bichir's poops? I hate when the poops are being smashed into small2pieces and become dust like particles. Urgh.

So far my filter doing a god job. I never did manual vacuuming, except those PNT poops. Just have to clean wools in filter tank. Now that my PNT in another tank, saves a lot of work cuz vacuuming in turtle tank is a lot easier. Turtle tank is only 2' high.


AFAIK, there are 2 types of common jardini, Scleropages jardini and Scleropages leichardti. Common ones found in lfs are pearl and green arowana, i dunno which is former and which is latter. Some ppl said pearl and green are the same, some said got a little difference. For me, i just take them as pearls. But my exp with them, not as interesting compared to SHB. Cuz theyre very wild and energetic, not something u can easily tame. In aro community, it was a common advise that one should get at least a yellow aro, but not a jardini).

My current SHB very nice feelings to keep. I can touch the aquarium glass and he follows my hand as i move it around. I like my monster to be fierce, but at the same time, calm and tame.

I dunno other's exp, but i failed to tame my pearlie before. Still have the old pics of many years ago. Sorry just using old nokia phone at that time.

Even the bichit's big poops can be sucked?? It wun stuck at the submersible pump water intake inlet? Mine, the holes are too small, so it just stuck at thr without beingsuck to the top filter. So troublesome.

Ohh..so jardini is pearl/green.well, ive been eyeing pearl n yellow aro for quite awhile.i consider their price to be reasonable for a start.hb, xb chili red super red etc2 all seem expensive pro material 😃

Edit: this is cool

awesome tank there....wew...

Great tank, fantastic jardini. Personally i wouldnt dare to risk my precious in such an open enclosure. But thats how close an owner can be to his pet, that he knows every characteristics and behaviours. So was said that there might be general rules and guides, but finally it depends on individuals (and of course, contingencies).

I stumbled on these vids :
