What a monster that grand champion is. Congratulations. That's one mean lookin SOB Beautiful fish

Haha even though earth worms are insects? I meant crickets basically.

Handsome looking fish!

Cool! Almost everyone starts with a silver. Very cool fish

I personally don't like feeding earth worms to my aro. I have in the past but now it's pellets and gut loaded insects

1231.45 for the win haha And I agree that it is a very cool contest. Encourage the winner to do a grow out thread with the prize. More advertisement for sponsor!

Very nicer aro and tank setup. I wonder what it looks like now....

I've been very lucky. I have never had to starve a aro for very long to get it to eat pellets. Untill it's eating pellets I don't offer anything else. All 4 aros I have ever owned were young when I got them. That helps a lot I think. Though the diablo red was a problem. He became addicted to the...

Such a beautiful fish.... One day I will own one. I agree about dreamfish quality, they are either really picky about what fish leaves their farm. Or they have a great breeding program. I suspect it's the latter. It would of been impossible for me to send 3500 dollars overseas for a fish I have...

That's my dream tank. That thing is a beauty

I got him and waited 36 hours then I started offering food sticks and nls. Now it's food sticks twice daily and every second weekend I give him 30 or so gut loaded crickets.

I think I had to offer it to him 3 times before he swallowed one whole.

Silver dollars are a little over 2 inches only. I have a 29 gallon breeder I could put the aro in.

Yeah I would love to grow one out to the 12 inch mark or so. I am just worried about finding it the right home when it gets that big.

The aro is in a 125 with some clown loaches and a small flag tail now. The black aro is a tiny guy, just absorbed yolk sack. I would put it in a 75 gallon with my striped silver dollar grow outs to catch up to the RTG. I know I would need a 24 inch wide tank to meet my rtg's long term needs and...

That's a beauty! How about some views from above. You are very lucky

Just going to hold off I think untill I can do a monster SA tank. But baby black aros are so cute

1256.37. Since I was not at 50 posts when I made my initial guess. Same guess as before.

My dreamfish aro will take a food stick than a live cricket than a nls pellet. I am lucky he is not very picky at all. Plus he loves to screw the silver dollars around anyway possible, which includes eating their food.

He certainly has or had some great fish over the last few years. Seems to have good knowledge. I'd say that's a solid pick. Congrats tman
