just picked up my arowana today:D

so far he was a bit jumpy, but hopefully seems to be settling in ok...

any tips i should do or look out for to ensure he is fine??

at first when he was in the tank it seems as if he was gasping for air...his mouth kept opening n closing...

pics will come shortly!

Congrats :)

He was probably just gasping from being panicked in a new setting. Add some more aeration and he'll be fine

Can't wait to see the pics

I'd keep my tank a bit dark for the next day or two if he's still a bit jumpy...it's a new home for me so let him get use to the enviornment before the Paparazzis showing up... LOL .

So what did you end up picking up?
