hi, i'm new in keeping arowana.....
anyone can advise what are the basic requirements to start with besides having an aquarium (>2ft long), air pump and water filter? thanks. it's my dream to keep arowana as pet ( i think i will start with pearl arowana or silver). |

what i mean is, is arowana very sensitive to water temperature, pH, etc?
i am very worry that the arowana is a very/ more sensitive fish than other fish. if that so i will wasted a fish for RM30++ (for a small silver arowana) or even more expensive price i have to paid for the fish food or threatment. anyway, thanks.  |

thanks....
what i do not understand is what is soft water? how to measure the standard? any method (which is cheap or not very expensive)? actually...i'm a poor guy with huge dream wakaka  one more thing, how long is an arowana can live (if no sickness/ ailments)? is it about human age= 50 years? it might be a joke if one believe that aro can live until 50years of age. haha but i have read that japanese koi can live until 50 years (if i'm not mistaken). |

QUOTE(madstone @ Feb 12 2007, 06:56 PM) Namgor i see.......go for Pearl laaa NOT silver Or look for Pearl Jardini who knows, you have luck enough to own Super Red Jardini like me   u bought pearl arowana, but u get super red jardini haha..... u r very lucky, i believe that super red jardini is much more worth than pearl & silver. after u rear that fish big enough (maybe 3 ft longer), u can sell & earn $$$  Added on February 12, 2007, 10:55 pmhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQ7yU2zp3Uk have anyone watched it before? really can't imagine that arowana can eat white mice too This post has been edited by Namgor2006: Feb 12 2007, 10:55 PM |

QUOTE(madstone @ Feb 12 2007, 06:56 PM) Namgor i bought 1 pearl aro yesterday, i need to know whether if i can feed it with worms (kinda hard shell, but small size). the worker from the fish shop say it is ok if it didn't eat for first 3 days in order to adapt to new environment...go for Pearl laaa NOT silver Or look for Pearl Jardini who knows, you have luck enough to own Super Red Jardini like me what else should i do next?  oh yea, i heard that i have to put sands into my aquarium (soft sands) so that the aro's eyes won't look underneath.... is that true? thanks for ur help.

QUOTE(jaspery27 @ Mar 4 2007, 10:52 PM)   so so sorry to hear tat may it RIP, nvm, time to get a red.......sometimes the pump really coz problem...wats type/brand of filter u r using??  or maybe i feed it with redworms (freezed), after few hours it became crazy (try jumping out of the tank). firstly, i thought it try to chase the small fish. then, i saw it has become hurting itself. i finally put my finger into the water & feel that there's electricity from the water. i was frighten, i then change 15% of the water & put aquarium salt (hope to calm it down) who knows, it became weaker (faint) .......died |
