one question, what have you bred?

 

[fishdance]

Keeping fish in concrete ponds will buffer your pH and hardness but you dont need acidic water to spawn Silver Arowana. They are readily available and very cheap in Asia which tells you how easy they are to breed. Plenty of online information available both from aquaulture journals and ornamental fish forums but this is a good start towards raising and breeding.

I THINK it takes 3-4 years for them to fully mature. For best bets, grow 6 up in a large (12x12ft min) concrete pond. Add cover too.
