View Full Version : Meiling's petting zoo. In my home
I've been taking a page out of Meiling's book and find its not only easy, but also kind of fun to pet the arowana's. 2 of the three seem to like it well, but the third knows whats going on and hangs back usually. The other day, though, I was reaching in with my hand and laying my fingers across the fish when one of the other arowana's jumped about 6 inchs out of the tank to take a bite at the soft part of my forarm about half way between my wrist and my elbow. Not only did it bleed ( a little ) but it left this cool little bite mark on my arm. Everyone I showed it too at work said "what bit you?" These are about 10" inch arowanas, and I think that their teeth are a little sharper when they are younger (like puppys) but even lacking the jaw strength of a larger arowana, since they got the soft white under belly of my arm, it was easy to pierce the skin and leave a cool mark. I wish you all could enjoy this experience. Please TRY this at home. Its fun and funny.

I've been bitten by my arowana, but never have they broken the skin. Not a fun thing to do though... why would you want to do that?

The only bad thing about doing this is you can easily damage the scales on the Arowana if your not gentle enough.they need that slime coat for protection...... and if it should scare you ...you may not be gentle..
sod it, im just guna jump in one of the tanks at my lfs, then dont have to buy and return. that is as stupid as the vid i saw of someone trying to get a python bite them.
