Ayah Pimp? My Dad also here?

Heheh

You referring to IT Monster Lake in Ratchaburi? I think the lake itself is many acres in size.

But what's interesting is the attitude that the Thai people have towards fish. Watch National Geographic Monster Fish Thai Eden episode. It's cool that fishes facing extinction elsewhere can thrive in Thailand.

Anyway, here's a video although a terrible one LOL

Eh? I don't get you.

I'm looking for monsters to stock a new pond but limiting my choice of fishes to those that feed on pellets only.

Size I prefer minimum 3ft length - any ideas?

I have RTCs, one of them is pretty huge.

I don't mind a couple more but I'm worried if I get them small then the larger ones will have a nice dinner.

Yeah, saw that its been there ages cause its so expensive.

Mine's the more common RTC but larger than the one in Nilufar though.

Ugly lah bro.

Yeah used to frequent MFK but lately no time - getting married

You should trim a bit bro. I mean, keep the look natural but with that all around you might step on a snake God forbid

Me? No lah it's not like stealing a pair of slippers LOL

You'd need to plan it really well to even catch any of them what more bring them to where you parked your "getaway vehicle".

Anyway, it's not like I have an arowana farm in Bukit Merah

I can't tell if it's a male or female but I've only had four in total with one surviving - one died due to infection while the other two died as babies. Supposedly those under 12" in length are more susceptible.

That being said, Arapaimas under 5ft aren't quite sexually mature so does it matter if male or female? Now that I've gotten Stage 1 of my wedding settled last weekend can finally focus on hobbies as 'pokai' stage is almost over LOL.

Hope to FINALLY start rebuilding collection but 5" Arapaimas a bit small and doubt they will go for pellets. Anyway will post pictures of new developments which should see new and improved pond along with other stuff. After honeymoon lah will share more.

Fly River Turtles also called Pig Nose Turtles and are totally aquatic so very different from terrapins that's for sure.

Mine is quite manja. If I have the time will post a video during feeding.

Haaa? How are the two questions related LOL

From KL lah bro

Cheap!

You getting one in 2015? Ok lah wait for you we do at the same time LOL

Recently gave away four Gars because my Dad happpened to watch them feeding and was horrified. Ranged from over 2ft to one just slightly smaller than my Arapaima.

Sayang but he's against using live feeders hence my shift to fishes that go for pellets like the lazy Arapaima who won't take live food anymore when my worker's wife practically hand feeds him.

So far none of the Gars have bitten me or even come close to showing any aggressive behaviour towards me from when they were in grow out tank and even in pond I used to get in with 3ft Gars circling but so long as they don't feel cornered no worries.

Around 18" I moved them from tank to pond and during that time in the tank they used to give me room to do water change and cleaning etc. If I take longer than usual they'd come close to sort of reestablish their space (I'm speculating) so a tap on the head to show them who is boss settled that once and for all.

Not exactly accurate. I've had Gars from mere inches initially who were raised on feeders - RM10 worth day for a pair increasing as they grew. At the same time, adopted two other Gars one 2ft one over 3ft and all feed live fish. To convert them to pellet based diet it's simple - starve them and soon they will go for pellets but never starve juvenile Gars.

As for keli feeders - stay away from them if possible.

Hola!

Found some old videos

I think cause they were unlisted. So I changed the privacy settings for all videos to public on my YouTube channel.

It's the first three videos of my Arapaimas and Gars when they were babies.

Going to upload my FRT video now.
