long live to this thread
 and hopefully can gather more arowana fans here... i like to share my experience how i rare my RTG (erm.. a few years ago) brought i for 280++ for 3 inches long (imagine 3 inches in 4ft long tank  i used to feed it with block worms at that size... then switched to cricket when i think it mouth big enuf to swallow it  i feed it twice a day with random (worms, cricket, small fish and frog) then once or twice with centipede per week... btw i live near the hills so there's no prob for me to find centipede... geezz i remember i found  a 11-12 inches long centipede once... and my fishy feels like  hahaha... sometimes i feed it with lizard and it like a pirahna chasing it's prey! (probably i din feed it in the morning that day gua~~) my RTG died (unknown disease) at appro. 18 inches and 3.5 kg.my advice is DON feed them with bug/insect too frequent coz will dirty the tank (dirty=will bring disease to fishy)... i learned from a few breeders and they said if u want the aro to become more red then feed them with centipede... i agree... although worms do help but not so significant to me... currently looking for Red/Golden Back to out in my pood with koi... don worry they can match together  , i saw many times liao ppl put like this...This post has been edited by Versy_CK: Oct 27 2006, 04:35 PM |

QUOTE(fyire @ Oct 15 2006, 06:17 PM) Hmm.. if you're talking about having huge fish as pets, you cant beat this story that my father told me lar... I think it's toman, ikan toman Rural parts of Kuching, road construction project. They had to take over parts of this fellow's land in order to build the road, etc. This fellow's got a huge huge backyard behind the house (big enough to have a huge pond in it). Well, some of the construction workers were relaxing by the pond during lunch time. One fellow decided to take off his shoes and cool his toes in the pond. While waddling around the edges (water up to his knees) he felt something huge bump against his legs in the really muddy water. Freaked out and jumped out of the pond screaming like mad. According to the owner whom my father spoke to later that day, he's got 5 fishes in there, each one between 3-4 meters long. Unfortunately my father not having an interest in these stuff is not able to remember exactly what species those fish are. |
