Before being extremely uncomfortable? ..a few inches.

+1 ...the bigger the better :)

Definitely not, minimum 180 gal for an adult arowana.

The tankmates usually get killed because they are outgrown by the aro and its hunting instict tell it anything that can be swallowed is fair game. I saw your other thread on the size of the tank. I'd get a bigger 180gal, and a shoal of tinfoils or silver dollars. One of each is not an effective...

Did you try putting some dithers in there, that might take the attention off the new SRs. Some African aros, Niger cats or Giraffe, a shoal of barbs? The setup and the aros look really good.

I am not a fan of feeder goldfish. If you want it to eat pellets you need to starve the aro. Sometimes it takes a couple weeks or more to get it off live. I'd do the Hikari if I were you.

Not sure if 25% weekly is enough for a tank with 5 aros. How big is the tank and how big are the aros? They must produce a lot of waste, I'd increase the water changes as well, or add some more filtration.

On the DE thing, genetics yes, but at the same time nutrition plays a very important role. In particular, the fat and the quantity of food. Just like humans, if you feel like your aro is starving and you feel the need to overfeed, it is better to do it in small meals, more times a day then all...

Give me a call when you're in town. I'll show you a couple places.

:D ...depends what you're looking for, I was a little disappointed when I moved here from Vancouver.

Location and price?

Ditto, I'm hoping to do this as a part of my future vet practice. In Vancouver I had problems getting medication for fish. If all goes well, then fish people back home will have nothing to worry :rolleyes:

LMFAO :D

If we go down there we'll bring enough to pay for the bills and have something to show for. It's harder to get to move, but if we'd get organized that would be an idea :)

I had a flooding in the basement and all my worms and pupas are gone.

Justin move to Montreal already :D

There are few clients that would shell out 5k+ a piece for adults, especially those thousand island :D, forget about cheap unless one goes for simple leos.

Do you have a smaller net Mike :). Hope he makes it home OK. Where did it go: Toronto, Montreal?

I think all this fish needs is my 400 gal :rolleyes:, very dark and very acid water.

It's still out there to what causes this, by the very best guess would be genetics, especially in the super reds. If a breeder has PLJ, most of the fry will get it as well, but as long as the color is nice and the aro eats well I wouldn't be bothered by it. You won't breed your aro anyway :)...
