Hi all aro lovers out there,

I am Dillon. Decided to join in after two weeks of reading. Brief description on myself :

Age & location : 28 from Subang, Selangor.
Pet : Greenie (around 8 inch now )
started since November 2006 after Aquafair Malaysia
2nd Pet : Shih Tzu mix Whiteland Terrier (female)

I have read all the pages in this thread and I find that you guyz are amazing. You all even organised outings together to look for aro. Wish I could join in the outing in near future.

I plan to have another two aro in my 3ft tank. After they grow bigger than 16 inch, then will change to 6x2.5.2.5 tank. Any recommendations?

wah lucky i ask ur opinion.. else die cham cham.. .. for the greenie and the 3 feet tank including all the accessories were given to me during aquafair malaysia..
well i cant complain bout the tank though coz its free...

so does that mean i get a 6 feet tank first then only get another 4 aro of the same size of the greenie? Will that work? Where is the cheapest place to obtain the tank? Any recommendation? And hows the cost like? So i can prepare my budget.

If I were to get those aro, I also plan to seperate them first and watch their behaviour for 2 weeks or so before actuallly mix them together.

Btw, at 8 inch, my greenie under normal lighting condition (daylight only: aquarium light off) the scale emits blueish hue on row 3 and 4 scale. Normally at what size, the aro starts to develope color?

Over at the aquafair, i saw xian leng booth having few arowana swimming together. That is truely a very magnificient sight to behold. Their mascot aro was there to. Looking at them putting that aro in and slowly taking it out with so much care really making me drool.

Wanna share my encounter with all of you the other day at a FS somewhere in ampang. A huge tomman weight 7kg with the lenght of about 3ft take a "chow" at a keli around 1 ft long. Last half of the keli gone : just like tat. after that i watch the keli tried to swim desperately away with the remaining half body. The blood trail guzzing out. According to the owner there, one day he fed 7-8 keli to that tomman. Didnt have my camera with me then.. else i will post some pics for ur gaze.

so far the best deal i survey from a local fs here at jalan pasar next to li ching.. RM 2700. 6x2.5x2 cabinet by a brand starting with "t". cant remember the name exactly. comes together with sump and lighting. the structure doesnt look like wood to me. More like a metal. I originally from penang so i have no clue as where is the best place to source for a deal.. Initially i never tot of wanting to add in more arowana. If i have known earlier, i would have bought the cabinet from aquafair discount 50%-70%. Damn regret. A 6ft aquarium complete with nice design and good wood that cost RM4k plus drop price until RM1600. Tat booth all aquarium sold off. Think of it making me wanna bang my head on the wall . Wahaha.. should have bought the aquarium and then resell it in ebay or something.. can make some money in the process and use the money to get some more arowana

aduh.. where got wife criticize own husband here one in forum? haha
if u know earlier u also would do that la..

if the stolen fish were to be sell also i rather not take it no matter how cheap.. too easily traced.. my bro got his rtg no cert for rm 300 at 6-8inch from one fs in penang....

silver = rm 35 (more of less)
pearl = rm 70 "
green = rm 100 "
banjar = rm 250
1.5 red or yt = rm 230

( price quoted from fs i visited and also depending on quality and charateristic of fish .. so veli hard to say )

the rest depends whether got cert or no cert ..
