    Would you prejudice buying a red arowana because it has PLJ?

    Is it enough to deter you from buying an arowana if it has PLJ? If so, do you think it's necessary for the farms to stop breeding arow's with this type of deficiency? Do you think that PLJ reduces the resale price and the quality of an arowana to a point that it should not be traded on the...

    Is it possible to determine what colour a Red Arowana will develop into?

    When you talk about orange lips, that can be seen at a young age, but to see colour in the gill plates, the aro has to be a bit older. As far as farms are concerned they do know how to tell what quality an aro will turn out. They know the parent or lineage and the quality of the aro's breeding...

    Winn NAN lights really improve arowana's colour?

    Will NAN lights really improve arowana's colour? I see a few threads on this topic. I have never used it. What does it do, or suppose to do? I understand that it is suppose to enhance arowana colours, but how does this do it. Does it mimic natural sunlight, that tans the aro, just like the sun...

    Is it possible to determine what colour a Red Arowana will develop into?

    Other than what we usually look for in a red arowana before we decide on a purchase. What other characteristics do you look for other than a straight back, barbel condition and swimming ability etc.? Are there signs we can look at in a young aro that will help determine what quality an arowana...

    Are pellets and ready made fish food enough nutrition for Arowana growth.

    The Aro farms in Asia use bugs because its a cheap source of protein, and is readily available. The Aro's are fed these to grow bigger and faster. This means higher profit. But I doubt that Arow's in the wild will eat as much insects as we feed our Arowanas in captivity. You right that the...

    Are pellets and ready made fish food enough nutrition for Arowana growth.

    Just want to see how many Arowana keepers feed just straight pellets and nothing else in raising their Arow's. So that means, no market shrimps, crickets, or meal worms. Just pellets, be it floating or sinking. I thought it would be an interesting topic. If you disagree, post your comments, or...

    Singapore versus Indonesian Super Reds

    I agree with Cirrus on this. Prices for Arowana’s in Canada have really gone down big time. Not sure if it's the effect of the down turn in economy, but it has really changed from 3 years ago. It is most likely due to the LFS going with farms that can give them the best price for profit. It...

    Singapore versus Indonesian Super Reds

    Could it be that Indo is still building their reputation in Asia as a quality Arowana producer? Could they be increasing the numbers sold by undercutting Singapore in price to get a foot hold in the industry. This is usually the way business is done in asia if your the "Little Dragon", survive...

    Crayfish as Food?

    I wouldn't recommend it. At least not all the time. I guess depending on size, as long as they are not too big. Their shells are really hard and you should break off their pincers. If your breeding them, why not pick out the newly moulted cray's and feed those. That would be better. As far as...

    For those that have goldenxb arowanas...

    Sorry to answer so late on this one, For me, I am against WTT. It's like cheating your self to make your aro look better than what it is. If I see a cross back in a white tank at a LFS, it doesn't impress me because I am looking at an enhanced aro. I know all LFS shows all their XB in a...

    Is Certificate That Important !!! This is how I feel, any one want to comment

    As for me, I would never buy an arow without proper documents. You can't have one without the other. No Cert, No Buy, simple. Plus it's against CITES to sell aro without the cert. Has anyone heard of LFS replacing certs with their own so they can protect the identity of the farms they buy from...

    My so called "Late bloomer" golden XB.

    I had posted pics of this same fish when it was around 8-9 mos old and I got that comment that it was a "Late bloomer" that's all. I am really happy about how he has developed in a few months since his last pics and I notice slight changes in him daily. Maybe it is the pellet food. I just...

    My so called "Late bloomer" golden XB.

    Hi Guys & Gals, Here is an updated pic of my VIP GXB. Photo was taken under white light, no flash. I have had him over a year and he maybe about one and half year old in age. He feed primarily on Hikari " Gold" & Foating sticks. All feedback negative or possitive is welcome.

    Really weird thing...

    Hope all is well with your motoro now. I guess you can say that she is very lucky. Alot of people that keep stingrays encounter the same problems. For some, the stingray stops eating and suffers a slow death. The cause is usually a fish hook in the stomach that ends up puncturing or damaging...
