lol all oso have to feed or choose 1 from it

all oso can . pick 1 n try 1st.

market prawn also good for your aro
especially if your aro got color like Super Red eg
market prawn also got protein

i've tried fed my red jar (pearl aro with red spots) wif market prawn but not too big la
it's hard for the guy to swallow if the prawn's too big
cut into small pieces, than yummy!

My Giant Kaloi died last week (still a question on why it died?) and now my tank is empty. I am looking to get into Arowana. Any suggestion what should I look for when it comes to choosing Arowana. I have a 3ft tank.

Do Arowana eat pallet food as well. What other fish can I mix with?

Thanks.

go jalan pasar alive aquarium shop.. go for indo red.. rm 300..
there is one indo red very chun.. big fan tail almost touching with dorsal fin and shine up to 5th level.. and long nice barbel.. color also chun.. aro can be train to eat pellet but aro is recommended to switch food alternately every month..

oh....indo red....what else should i look for..as i was told the jaw part also very important and also the eyes area....can advice...

basically it depends to you.....some ppl might go for color instead of shape...so u must say i want this ...not other ppl...things to look out....

EYE
TAIL
FIN
SPOON HEAD or not

3ft tank i think too small bro....might want to change....

omg why dun make butter prawns or cheese prawns har???? or put drunken prawn and abalone lolzer

c0c0, the 'bro' is female la

for unexperience person like me before
go for cheaper fish like pearl aro, can get around RM40-RM70*
or if u want to get a bit tough, go for Yellow Tail Aro or Green Aro (RM150-RM200 depends)*
OR if u want tougher challenge, go for RTG (Red Tail Golden) (RM1K below)*
OR the toughest of all, Super Red > Chilli Red > Blood Red RM2500-RM3388)
most toughest, ask c0c0, saif or dilldream

*the price based on 4-6 inches aro

If you are looking for a Giant Kaloi for replacement, I got 1.

From my riki2 at XL last weekend
for 6 footer cabinet tank plus minus RM2.5K
for Blood Red RM3.8K, Chilli Red RM3K & Super Red RM2.5K (plus minus)
It's like RM5K-RM6.5K for the new project

Go Stone Go! Make ur dream come true faster!

Stone, check this out.

agreed.. but if cheaka is low on budget.. can make do with the tank for now and change later.. regardless of whatever ppl tell u.. the most important fact is whether u like it or not... some ppl like red arowana.. some ppl like golden arowana.. even some like green arowana.. so it really depends..

but when u buy make sure the eye is not drop, big fan tail withtout any white frame coz that will indicating the tail or fin is rotting.. and try to buy those who are already 4-5 inch.. avoid tiny ones.. some ppl like long barbel

tips for cheaka: for first timer.. make sure ur tank have cover.. aro likes to jump..
dont overfeed and dont leave the food inside the tank.. coz it till become toxic and give problem later on.. the rest you can read up online.. you might also wan to consider placing or sticking one layer of black oyama paper on the bottom to prevent drop eye before u actually fill up the tank with aro and put aro inside..

Thanks guys...you guys are a great help....I follow madstone's advice...as a beginner....got a dark sliverish colour aro....for RM40.......about 4 inch....

you mean the bottom part of the tank have to be dark ah? i have white foam board below....


the shop owner told me that they only eat mealworms and crickets(when they are big).....i guess my old pallets all cannot use....

u bought silver aro ka?
haiyaaaaaa...not nice la cheaka

at least buy Pearl or Yelow Tail or Greenie
me myself started with silver aro but ended up gave it for free

NOW, i'm poisoned with BR, CR & SR aro

hahah...slowly lah...want to understand the fish a bit more....heheh...

anyway, i saw a black kaloi sabah kaloi for sale at the fish shop...was very tempted to get it as it was really friendly and was like communicating .....

wow u can speak fish language

I've found the little gold aro with RM150+..but donno what kind of gold issit..

baby wan ar??? or adult gold aro
