Arowana Info

Feeding your arowana can be scary, they could jump. But there is a way to make them get used to your hand in the tank or pond, you should bond with it, you could pet it. If you pet it more it will bond with you, never pet the head, or you will never see your fingers again.

That's me and my aro

Well looks like the Pygmy marmoset is the smallest amazonian monkey at 6 ounces and 6 inches long.
So I just ordered up a dozen of these little guys for my arowana @ www. getyourfeedermonkeys .com

lolz! There is no way even a full grown silver could eat a non pygmy monkey. Theyed also outgrow a 180 in a heart beat. And before any one checks my profile and posts "why would you say a 180 is too small for an aro and you have one in a 120?" a fellow mfker already gave me an offer for him so he could stock his pond.
I'm actually able to pet my black arowana. He's not overly entusiastic about it, but he does allow it from time to time. He's getting more accepting of it as time goes on.
As for the Afrowanas, they are most closely aligned to arapaimas as you suggested. However, instead of mentioning that they're called arowanas anyway, you'd be more correct to point out that an arapaima is actually just an enormous arowana. Larger afrowanas are also capable predators if they need to be. They're not overly difficult to get onto pellets, either.
You tried to do a good thing here. Keep reading and studying, you'll get there eventually. It took me a long time and many tries before I successfully authored my first sticky, too.

So you keep saying. Your post on the Jardini tankmates makes me wonder though.
If you're dead keen on writing a sticky on Arowana then why not do it in a Word document first, collaborate all the information together, format it so it follows some sort of pattern for the different species, read and re-read it, research some more, then when you're finally happy with it post it up here to get some constructive criticism from the other people here who also "know loads about fish". As Chix said, writing a comprehensive post worth of being made sticky takes a bit more that writing down everything you think you know about a certain topic.

Proving you know about fish is like proving you're a man. If you have to tell people that its true, it casts doubt on the validity of your claim.
I appreciate your enthusiasm, as do other members. Please keep in mind however that there are a lot of members on this site who have been keeping fish for much longer than our younger members have been alive. If you launch a thread like this one with the bold claim that you feel it deserves to be a sticky, the community will proceed to pore over the information that you have provided in order to ensure the truthfulness of the information that you've posted. If you've posted incorrect information, you will be called out on it. This process is a direct analog for the 'peer review' process of academia; we are your peers and we're making sure that what you've posted measures up.
Do keep participating and trying to post new information! However, if you really want to carve out a niche for yourself, tackle something that hasn't been done before. There's already five or six stickies here in the Arowana section that cover in detail the material you attempted to broach in this thread. Find something new and exciting to research and post about it! Even if it takes you a time or three to get it right, the community fully embraces people who try to expand our collective knowledge base. Even if you struggle to get it right, the community will help you. I know this from firsthand experience with my ATF adventure.
Stay with it bro. You'll get it someday.
