Arowana Keepers Please Help.

[twentyleagues]

Didnt seem to be distressed or anything by the petting.
But at the same time in that small of a tank it would have no where to go even if it wanted to.

Well that red asian os under white tank treatment and tanning. You see the lightfixtures on the backpanel of this tank?.
They keep em under red or pink light to get the colors more vibrate on the fish.
The fish looks to be about 45cm so this tank is well enough for the fish for now.

And yes some indivuduals of the asian arowans can go for that amount of **** you cash. You know an asian arowana is worth more the an lamborghini to some people. If they want one fish they buy it. Same goes with everything in asia. There it is the money that talks. Same goes in UAE at least in my opinion.

china came out with a new light... supposedly with UVA/UVB rays, light is still white with a very slight tinge of pink....

just bought one to see if tanning works...... my red aro becoming gold aro lol

Sorry for the mess, was doing something to the plants behind lol

When you view in real life, the color is more white than pink

Some Asian Aro’s can go for a lot of money depending on quality and the farm they came from, but how much you should pay for one really comes down to how much you like said fish...

Its kind of like buying a car, if you dont like ferrari’s for example, even if it was say 50K you probably wouldnt buy one, but if you loved the car and had the money, you’d probably be willing to fork out quite a bit just to own one...

I also agree that red aro is definitely under some sort of tanning light which is quite common with stores selling aros to help them appear more vibrant in color..

So, I was watching and reading the blood parrots with arowana is a combination that usually works great. I always seen this combination at many stores. Arowana and parrots in complete harmony. I was thinking to have such combination in my tank. But I seen a video. Posting a small chunk from that clip which is very worrying. Arowana tried to eat a parrot so big that would definitely never fit to his mouth and what I read that the general rule is to keep a fish with arowanas which don't fit in his mouth but what is going on here? I thought parrots are the ones that can be bullying (if they have to) but I am surprised to see this.

Your opinion?

Anything can happen. They are live wild animals, well the arowana are. The parrots are plastic fish. This was not a predatory attack IMHO but a dominance attack.
