Hey guys i was thinking of buying a silver arowana that is 12'' long, its really healthy my only concern is that its missing its barbells. Is that a big deal at all to were he might die or mess with his growth? will they ever grow back?

chris.. hi.. aros are pretty quick healers.. the barbels should generally grow back.. did the lfs or the owner of the fish say why the aro had lost the barbels? droopy barbels are a sign on bad water most of the times.. all the best..
 
Kaya - He said his friend gave it to him and he healed it cause his frends fish were bulling him to where he was getting beat up. ( oscars i think )
 
Right now im going to house him in a 120g then soon im going to upgrade to a 240 gallon. I have a emperor 400 and a penguin 200 running my tank. Then i have 2 green severums, 1 convict, and 1 jack dempsey.
 
Hey kaya do you think it would be fine to transport him an hour away in a cooler with a lid for safe keeping so he doesnt jump?
