do not feed prawns.. though it's high in calcium but then prawns then to stay at the bottom of the tank which makes your aro looks down all the time...in time it will cause your aro's eye to bulge downwards eventually falling off. serious...give floating food... just a piece of advice

this is very true...the fish shop expert also told me this....so far mealworms only...will try others maybe small life fish...

i used to put 2 ping pong balls in the tank... to make the aro look at it... hahaha just to ensure the eyes are nice

Well, unfortunately, droop eyes is actually more of a genetic thing, just like protruding lower jaws, I also have 2 ping pong balls in my tank, in the end my fish also kena. Never fed with market prawns also, all the time floating food...

hmmm well all my aro's are good using the method i mentioned... well maybe you have a point.. but i'm not too sure if it's genetic

For pig nose turtles you can just put a few small fishes for them and some pellets would do. They dont eat poo.

High ? Animal do have feelings and lust i suppose so that is one of the reaction with we stimulate them.

my pleco oso like dat, so manja . but my silver aro last time i kept, always swim here and there when i touch him

ok now i need to get the ping pong 1st....ok i starting to feed my pig nose with frozen blood worm....he loves it

this is my aro, 1 1/2 year...

yes, bcoz last time i open fish shop ma... but now close ledi o....wat food u feet that??

my silver aro used to eat pellets and crix only...no feeder fish like guppies or baby goldfish because they carry parasites

if you all want to buy an aro make sure...you look at few shops and compare the price 1st....

aquarium one more harder to get,must use special bait,and thats is big sum of money......

Hi...i m new here...
i wanted to give some opinion...
actually prawn and drop eye is not related...coz eye drop is the genetic of a fish and mainly is becoz of the ph and temperature of the aquarium...
i have used a few silver fish to try...reli did show some positive result...

I wonder what's the price range for an arowana? I'm interested in keeping one. Erm..if they grow too big for a 4 ft tank, what will u guys do? Just leave him circle around the tank or release him?
