Nice!! It could use your TLC to beef it up a lil. I have one myself at the 15-16 inch mark. Only thing i dont like about them is that their appetites arent as great as silvers and asians. And im already being picky =)


BTW - Mules water is always crystal clear... ive been to his place twice and water is always top notch !



keep those pics coming !
 
Thanks, Wes - I appreciate that. Does this aro look thin to you? He's got a healthy appetite for sure. :)
 
Nice! I'm starting to wonder if my Silver is really a Black arowana cuz he is gettin darker, more red anal, dorsal and caudual fins...lol...might be just that i am feeding color enhancing cichlid pellets and he eats most of them before the cichlids do...lol....
 
Just telling it like it is =)

As for the aro... yours is not exactly thin but i know they can get thicker than that at 15-16.. Youre feeding it shrimps right?
 
Yes, he's eating shrimp, krill, pellets and occasionally frozen smelts.
 
I look at the back and gauge the thickness from there. I forgot how thick it is in person.

Heres mine when i first got it 3 mos ago @ 14-15". Its much thicker than this .
