All you skeptics need to do some research on Arowana tail biting before coming onto someone else's FS thread and talking down. Makes you look less stupid when I and other experienced arowana keepers, present you with evidence to the contrary.
Although there is no documented Australian Arowana tail biting occurrence, it occurs surprisingly often in Asian Arowanas (Just look it up on Youtube). Australian Arowanas are relatively close relatives to the Asian Arowanas (as least more so than the SA Arowanas).If you have bothered to look at a map any 5th grader can tell you plainly that Australia and South East Asia was once connected in the past(Pangaea). They may be genetically predisposed since these ancient times. Anyways, in regards the tail bite "problem" - once they start it is very hard for them to stop doing so.
Bottom line, tail biting can and does happen.
