go to reputable lfs and chances of getting rip is minimal, and even if there are wrong tagging which are very rare you can send the fish back to the lfs and they'll exchange for you.

I know Xian Leng Shah Alam has many Red but for good quality ones a bit on the expensive side and last saturday I was in house of arowana I saw they've a batch of very young red all already showing crack on the cheek and the price are very affordable.

Hv u tried live shrimp and crix?

Ahan...how many aros you keeping now ah?

no need to feel excited, on monday I clean the tank on the Gold, and decide to tidy up the wallpaper (background poster) scare the hell out of the small fella and now back to puasa again.

Think I'm also immune dy, just dump in 1 SW every morning if the fella eat then good lo but if he puasa then I leave the fella alone also lor. Guess some aro is like that la very sensitive, just our luck.

yours red got problem?...my red not so problematic, the fella will eat la, bit not greedy pig, very small eater. My Gold will eat like hell but easily freak out, and then puasa

congrat bro....finally your fish open mouth!

usually indicate the fish is stress...can be water or disease

my Red about 13" take average 12SW and 3 feeder fish a day....My Gold about 9" take average 10sw a day.

cute fella....congratulation

took last sun....fella seem to love parking, maybe previous life he's a car jockey

cert or no cert we still cannot export the fish...you need another export licence/permit to export arowanas

For 200 its definately not a super red unless that is your bro selling to you..half sell half give.

About XL starving the fish I dun believe la, ppl always have rumours when maybe they jealous of thier excellent R&D on selective breeding. But if you say minimum feeding then I believe la, where got fishshop pump thier young aro wan...ask manufacture she'll know since she's from the trade. I mean this I can accept, if I'm lfs I'll do the same thing, if I pump habis la within 2 months if I dun sell the fish its going to grow at least 2" how to sell then???

XL fish has reach F4/F5, thats why you find the gold and red with color coming out so early. If you were to find a 9" red with XL type of full color imagine how long you need to stunt the fish? The normal red to achieve that kinda color takes at least 2 years...so dun tell me the fish wont look cacat...2 year old fish 9" only right?

The development of the color is very impressive, all these are 8" - 10" fish only nia

Was at a frens place this morning, he keeping HBRTG and combodian platinum, very active fish swimming non-stop and good appetite

tried shooting but cannot get right exposure for the platinum due to too shinny

Thanks bro

Maybe some tank mate would help.

actually try not to use salt everytime, aro doesnt come from brackish water, infact the source are very pure and mildly acidic.

Ah you mean superworm...get some smaller fish like Silver dollar or lampan as clean up crew. No problem with that my red also love chewing those SW and my 3 SD did an excellent job.

Update...aiya heart pain, this morning guy deliver the cat cage while carry the cage inside scare the red until jump so chialat now the head all scratch...

Silver the chances are better as compared to jar, they're more aggresive.

Just bought this banjar red 18", named Wong Choy
