Last wk I went, 3 of them...now how many?

These fries are just out of sag. Cant see much at this moment.

I feel like making a RM20 booking and let them develope for 2-3wks and see.
If good, buy. Not up to expectation, let them forfeit my deposit.

There is still 3 of them. I think not many people see them becoz the owner put them at the below part of the aquarium. biggrin.gif

Btw, your idea about booking is a good idea. Let them develop for 2-3 weeks and see how things going on.

Stone,
U can compare Afad's to the picture/ videos links.


Saif,
Green is the most underappreciated species.
So far I've seen 2 grown up "Snow White" Green. Entire fish is shinny white color.
Onlything I dont like about the average/ normal Green is that the horseshoe pattern on the scales and the 2tone tail when grown.

Stone,
Swim bottom is OK. If always on the top(not swimming) then worry swim bladder problem.When u bring ur JAR back, use the filter power head to create strong undercurrent.

Snakeskin/Batik prints are nice on Green but not strong horseshoe marking.

Young fish like to swim against the undercurrent. Good exercise for them. Like us running on threadmill.
As for Stone's new JAR, it's also to prevent his ARO fr staying at the bottom all the time.

ILLNESSES

Basically, the Arowana is a very hardy fish; even forthe first timers. However, due to unsuitable water conditions, poor diet,high nitrate levels, etc., illnesses like bulging eye, cloudy eye, gillcurling, external parasites, fin rot, dropsy and internal bleeding mayoccur. Watch out for the last two symptoms as they are likely to be fatal.In all cases, raise the water temperature to 34 degree celcius and add0.03% salt to the water (ie 300g of salt for 100litres of water). Dependingon respective cases, add a wide spectrum medicine with anti-bacterial oranti-parasitic compounds. Medicines like tetracycline, acfriflavine mayalso help. One point to note; do not be too concerned over fin rot causedfighting. Even in cases where extensive damage to the whole tail has beendone, the recovery period is only a matter of weeks.

*Please note that"drop" eyes is not a disease.

BTW, found FAQ about drop eye
QUOTE
Q : Bulging eye in Silver Arowana, please help! I have an Arowana from South America in a 150 gallon tank with two canister filters and four Bio-wheels. The water temp. is at 80 degrees, pH is at 6.8. The water is at ideal readings for ammonia, nitrate, nitrite&  however, despite the perfect conditions, the fish has developed this bulging eye condition. Could it be Exphothalmos? I understand that this condition is fairly common among Arowana. Any suggestions for treatment & besides praying?

A:The condition with respect to your Arowana's bulging eyes is a very common complaint by hobbyists. There are basically two reasons for this:
1. The Arowana in the wild is a surface-feeder. It swims almost at the surface of the water constantly looking upwards for insects to capture and feed on. When you put it into an aquarium tank this condition that it is used to is changed entirely. Instead of looking upwards it is now having to see sideways and even downwards. As such its eye muscles no longer required to hold its eyeballs for upward vision becomes lazy and relaxed causing eyeballs to bulge and droop.
2. Hobbyists tend to overfeed their fish causing fatty tissues to accumulate behind the eyeballs which subsequently cause the bulging and the drooping.
