A silver arowana! The jardini was very small about 2-3 inches and the owner said he gets them in at 6-8 inches usually for around 80$ which is a good deal. He has one silver arowana around 5 inches and gave it to me for 37$ and I couldn't refuse lol

My last arowana was like 6 years ago and he was at 34-36 inches

Hopefully in a week or two I get a call for the Jardini

Cool. Cute little guy. I'll probably never have a tank big enough for one of these, but if I did I probably could not resist putting an Arowana in it.

Never had a jardini but this arowana was very active and just so small I had to have him.
My jar was very mellow(pansy) and when it came to feeding.aggressive feeder and eager to. but most jars are aholes. so you have been warned. mine hated red. It always fought with my red devil and punked the crap out of the red bay snook. but other then that. there awesome!

The Jardini they had this silver arowana could eat so that's why I wanted a bigger one. They had this water cow in there too and I was so tempted but stopped. I need bottom dwellers too lol

Water cow are cool gobies, I have trouble keeping them alive last a year high then their slime coat gets messed up and they just die on me. They're always the only fish affected, they're supposed to be true freshwater gobies though. I always figured it was something with my water, so I gave up on trying to keep them.
But nice pick up, and yea even when they're both grown and in the big tank your jar may kill the silver..

Why didn't you get a crocodile? A party ain't a party unless there's a crocodile.
