we are all arowana lovers here, so let's confess our love at first bite moments with this ancient fish.....and why.....
for me, i first saw an aro about 11 years ago, a 3 foot long silver at this mall's petsore. i was astounded at the sight of such a huge and magnificent fish back then i was only familiar to goldfishes
. my pal told me it was an arowana, cool but never really pursued that interest until again i saw a feature on aros on tv. so i got me a silver but it died a year later... i didnt really know what i was doing. it depressed me so it took two years until i decided on getting a jardini, had it for 3 years until i was forced to give it up for logistic reasons, i was away for college and my mom cant be trusted with fishes. now i have a jardini and a green, this time with enough knowledge to address most concerns in keeping these fishes.
the reason why i love them? one word...NOBILITY. unlike other predatory fishes (i love bad boys), aros are neither scary looking nor just plain gluttons. despite the imposing jaw and body, this fish has PRIDE, GRACE and POWER in everything it does. no other fish can claim such. i'm not a sucker of all that luck and prosperity asociated with the arowana, all i know is when one who appreciates beauty beholds a good arowana of any variety with its huge shiny scales and air of strength, none can deny....... the arowana is KING!
