Hey everyone,
Thanks for all the tank and arowana advice, its really paid off now! Aussie is one lean mean eating machine now! Hikari pellet stuffed crickets, mealworms, freeze dried shrimp and occassional goldfish are now all on the menu. He used to be indifferent when I tried to feed him a rosie when I first got him, but now he is a fast and violent killer when a feeder hits the water; instant death! He is swimming around more frequently now and doesnt seem too bothered with me around the tank! Even got curious when I was doing water changes and came up to my hand before running away for a bit, which never happened before. Anyways so far so good and here are some pics! he's about 8" now and his colors are coming out nicely!

nice! how big is your tank and how big is it?

100g tank ~8 inches. got him around ~4" couple of months ago. he was alot lighter in color back then and just about a month ago he started getting his colors in his gill area which was nice! I've seen some really dark, brown/reddish jardini and was wondering if thats usual. mine is a pearl jardini so I wasnt sure if that was gonna happen to aussie.
 
nice jardini
