It really gets back to, you get what you pay for. Nothing wrong for a new arowana owner to start with a 1.5 grade red or a RTG even a green. But it is already a sizable investment to get the large tank and equipment to keep your arowana, so my view is if you spent that much on getting setup why...

Hello and welcome!

I think genectics do play a part of it, but I have 3 300 gallon tanks stacked, so the top one is 6 feet high and the aro in the top one began to develope drop eye. His is pellet trained, and eats MP 3 times a week, no live food. I'll take a couple pics and show. He was only in the tank for 2...

Welcome Graeme! Good to see you here, there are many experienced aro keepers here so feel free to ask lots of questions.

I have good results with placing your aro in a pond. Seems to help if not cure it.

True, then I would say prime would be good enough, I have used it for a fe years before I got all set up.

Its seems alot of people keep talking about the lowest price, cheap arowana, and discount tanks, cheap filters, ect. I do believe that arowanas and supplies, tanks, filters ect should be availible at a fair price. But that being said, you do pay more for quality. An Asian Aro is a fish you...

So he hasnt growin out of his tank yet, what do you think cause the gill curl? Poor water quality perhaps?

Amazing!

maybe he ate it??????

Maybe hit your crossbrace? We only sell aro tanks with euro bracing, that way there is nothing to hit:D.

Its your will against his! Sooner or later he will give in.

I have a 300 gallon resivoir, with a heater in it. Which I use for water changes, so my water is aged at least a week, and comes already at temp. No shock to arowana, so bigger water changes are ok. Its a good set up if you have the room for it.

How long is your Aro?

We have 2 violet fusion reds that are over 30" and they are much more aggressive then the other types of asian aros I have kept. We have a 28" Rtg and its quite calm compared to the reds.

I have a big clown loach in my tank, he is fine. Just make sure your loach is big enough for the aro not to eat, cause all clown loaches have spikes!

I can also get that type of deal on custom glass tanks.

Thanks, thats good info to have.

I have heard of guys using the material they cover kitchen counters with, anyone else heard of that?

Good quality red!
