HI All,


Been rearing fishes long time mainly Guppies, GoldFish and Oscars, now would like to venture into Aro's, but my wife
thinks Im not ready, so could anyone here advise me? I already have a 3x2 tank with Eheim (2215) pump set-up with
nobody home am not looking for an expensive Aro, since am a beginner, am looking at NOT spending more then
RM100/- on an Aro, any advise is welcomed, thanks

madstone & coconut & serewen -

THANKS for the feedback am getting either a Green or Silver Aro, question
can I put both in the same tank?

THANKS bro, am going after lunch to search for my Aro, keep you all potsed on my findings

THANKs, managed to find a shop selling white/pearl Aro for RM80/- about 15cm in length
is the price and size ok? Very healthy looking and very "kan-cheong" Aro, it followed my fingers around the tank...good sign?

as Aro rearing is a new hobby to me, I dont think I want to splurge that much cash yet,
prefer to test my skills with a slightly cheaper Aro, see how it goes from there, but thanks for your advise

thanks again bro, attached a pic of the aquarium for the coming Aro, 3.5x1.5, should i put in some deco?
stones? corals? any recommendations?

thanks for the advise, well its a starter tank, so will heed all advises given. Currently found one Pearl for
RM80/- collecting later in the evening, so will post pics when can.


UPtown shop called Galaxy has them.....


thanks will do....

BTW, any starter food?...advises welcomed....

Hi guys,

Sigh, dam sian, yesterday when to the shop to view their new arrivals, and was shown Australian Aro RM40/- (3.5 inches)
and a Pearl Aro RM30/- (2.5inches), I kinda liked the OZ Aro cuz he looked much healthier and lively compared to the Pearl Aro.
Couldn't take any pictures as they were swimming pretty fast;)

BUT, my HM still thinks I should not get the Aro and stick with Oscars, which they had just brought in, Black/Red, White/Red
and Full White going for RM5/- each!

Now am stuck between my "mental" dream of rearing Aro's and going back to my roots (I started with Oscar's)
had 4 which grew till about 22cm long and 4inch width, freaking huge buggers!! They all died when I had an
argument with my stupid neighbor, who broke my tank (outdoor)....sighh.,..no proof so F it lar....anyways.....the dream lives on...

keep you all posted.....

to Aro or not to Aro, that is the QUESTION......

p/s hve a good weekend all....

After a long debate with my HM she compromised , as long as i get the Aro, I cant get anythting else for 1 year in terms
of fish/aquarium related stuffs, the things i do to pursue my dreams

anyways, below a pic of "Ozzie" on his first day "home"



anyone can help me, how do i upload youtube video here? paiseh..first time...



YES i already do...gracefull...

thanks for the support...kekeke....poisoned liow...
Space, i have loads, I live in a corner house, HUGE garden (length the size of two badminton courts) plans
underway to built an pond which HM agrees, but year end only lar
As for my Oscars, long time died liow lorr...hehehe.....read my earlier post abt my dumb neighbour!

thanks bro, but am a bit worried, as Ozzie tends to only nibble his "iced mealworms" and leaves the rest
to drop to the bottom, since it does not float, how ah? shall i change to pellets? and recommendations on pellets?

oops, guess newbie mistake by me, aiyo, no wonder lar..THANKS BRO for the info,
am relived now,much relieved thanks again...

any recommendations on the pellets? its a Sunday, kids away to grandparents house, me cleaning
all the tanks at home... alone...

Hve bought frozen mealworms, tried, he only eats a small chunk when its floating,
when it drops down, he buat tak tau...thats why asking about pellet....

ok understood, but no one has replied me which type of pellets/brand to use wor?
any kind/type/brand to rekomend?

saif - thanks, paiseh liow

THANKs petang ini will get it....

Couldn't find the Azoo Multi Stick at my regular fish shop, even went to Taman Mayang Pet Family Store they didn't have it
and they asked me to use SERA brand, says as good as Azoo. Will be going Uptown Galaxy later during lunch to find, hope there got.

Yesterday fed Ozzie a frozen mealworm, he was really hungry I guess, he ate everything, even the one on the floor.!

Am planning to put a drift wood so that the tank doesn't look "empty", any advise on this? Maybe some lite decorations,
advice IF any are more them welcomed.



wahlau like this also can ah, havent seen worms eat themselves!!

BTW, am using FROZEN mealworms, its ok right?
