I just got my first black arowana last month and all ready I had a problem with it. The arowana came with very bad fns especialy the pectoral fins, first thing I done before I even put the fish in the tank was to cut the pectoral fins from half the length , because they had a bad curv in them. amazingly after only one month at my surprise these almost fully grown back, now I turned to the other fins which where the whole tail and the back fin and I cut them off too. I also had to cut off the barbels from half there length because they where not straight . I know this might sound crazy all this cutting but for me its a must because I am obseest on having only perfect fish if possible and here in Malta it is almost imposible to get a black arowana yet alone a perfect one infact this one I had to make a special order for it and it was not easy to get one so this one will have to do. Now all I can do is wait for the fins to grow back and see how they come up fingers croosed.

The problem here is not your arowana; its you...You cut the fins and barbels on your aro? What is wrong with you? Ask for advice before you do things like that. I would suggest draining your tank and selling it. For the sake of other fish to come just get out of the hobby. Take up a hobby like drawing so you are the one to blame for imperfections. I dont ever like to flame or be a jerk on forums but you have asked for a thrashing from people here. I am hoping this is a joke. If not you disgust me.
:WTF:
Definitly not the right way to care for your fish, and why would you think that was a good idea? I hope your joking or trolling or whatever because this is absurd
I understand his point of view. Although I would not do it myself, I have seen videos on youtube where a guy cut parts of the gills on his jardini off because it had gill curl and it grew back just fine.
