Whats in the bag? lol


I will just show you because i hate those stupid games.

Another 18" silver arowana to hang out with gibbs, our 18" silver arowana. I was a little weary putting them together because they weren't raised together but things seem to be working out okay. At first gibbs went to the bottom of the tank and was pretty scared of his new identical friend. Then after about 5 min he swam to the top and they circled eachother like two dogs meeting for the 1st time and now they are both swimming along the top. Gibbs nipped at the newbie a couple times but nothing major. Does this sound pretty normal when intorducing a new aro to an existing one? We think the new one is a female so maybe they will breed haha. Doubt it but hey, you never know!

Very nice fish.....I hope you have a solid lid on that tank.....I had one about 24" long and the tank had a custom made lid with a rock on top to hold it down.....somehow he knocked the rock off and I found him in the floor dead as a door nail when I got home from work......made me sick man....

Thanks! Yes I actually had a baby that I was going to raise up. And he jumped out of a hole back by the filter that was only a little bit bigger than his body That is the one thing I don't like about these fish. They are crazy jumpers

seems pretty normal. I probably don't have to tell you this, but watch diligently and separate if it gets worse.
