Arowana Horrer storie!

[Fishes33]

There was this guy at the petstore returning a big 2 foot long arowana saying never again. So i ask why, he goes he had a several thousand doller macaw and it live in the same room. One day it got out of it's cage and flew over the aro tank.Splash and snap the aro jumped3 feet and ate the macaw.

wow, that dude must have a HUGE open tank for the arowana that is 2ft long and can jump 3ft high without getting itself to splash on the ground. I wanna see his "tank", it would be pretty amazing

it is a lie. No aro would even attack, much less eat, a Macaw

I have this sadistic urge to put a cage on top of my tank with birds in it now, and see if my aro can catch them lol.

"They are excellent jumpers; it has been reported that Osteoglossum species have been seen leaping more than 6 feet (almost 2 metres) from the water surface to pick off insects and birds from overhanging branches in South America, hence the nickname "water monkeys". " Arowana page from wikipedia

they do eat birds but probably not macaws.

I could see a really huge aro eating a redshoulder macaw, they only get about 11-12 inches in length.
