Hi there, I was wondering if anyone has any info on breeding asian aro's?
or know where to get books or other articles related to breding asian aro's.
example; how old do they have to breed? PH values? Tank size? etc........
Thanks
 
I saw a video on here once about them breeding, but I have no idea where it is now.
 
Search through YouTube.com....They might not explain the process, but the video is breathtaking....I've seen a female Red collect her young in her mouth....I think they breed like Silvers(why not)....
 
Yes the males collect the young in their mouths.

Your best bet on this would be to contact a breeder direct. No one will know how to breed them better.

OOps....Thanks for the correction..
 
thanks everone for your replies........ I saw the video before but not much info.....
I think the best way will be to contact the dealer when I'm ready to purchase the fish.
I was thinking of "Dragon Industries" or "Panda Aquatics" anyone know which dealer
is more reputable?????? I have an expensive book called" Awakening the Dragon"
and the pic's are great but again not much info on breeding......

I have doubts that the dealers might not tell you the secret in arowana breeding.
 
From what I have seen, a big murky pond would help. Stock that with about 20 aro's and see what happens. No, I really have no idea how to spawn them.
