Dr.John.....I have you to blame as the last visit to your place influenced me to purchase a Pima. The awsomeness of your monster tank just left a lasting impression on my mind. Hearing voices telling me to," buy one... buy one... buy a PIMA". Knowing I will never have the means of housing an adult, I have one in my care at the moment :(

Now to my question =-) .... mine is jet black ? I'm sure it's because he's stressed. However, he's eating fine. Swimming normally, acting fine. Has the curiousty of a cat when you approach the tank. You have any ideas how I could get him to return to his normal color.
 
congrats !!!!

my little ones are darker than the larger ones.

they do change color on thier own........from dark charcoal grey to a dark silver..............

give him sometime.

also i recommend azoo liquid arowana vitamins on thier food.....also goldfish deplete their vitamins i am told.....


pics please !!!!!

and when did you buy him ??? size ????
