dont say that, you will feel stupid if it dies.






i just read the other thread, 6 inches eh?

did you buy him on impulse or did you take the time to observe the fish?
I have the same question did you acutally take your time to look at all the arowanas or did you just pick one in random..Did he look sick in the petstore tank?

torn fins was about it, but it wasnt anything i couldnt fix :naughty:

i went to 3 different stores before i made my purchase

i ended up buying her at fountains aquariums

i watched her and the others silvers for about 20 minutes. she was the biggest and feistiest, i didnt ask for a feeding demonstration because when i twiddled my fingers at the top of the tank she was first at the surface ready to be fed. If i can recall she had been there for a long time like since 2-3 incher which might explain why she was the largest. so i had the guy bag her up. when i got home i floated her for 15 minutes and let her lose into the 180. 20 minute later i tried feeding her and she took the food sticks like she was starving, the rest is history........

 
my silver gets moody and won't eat for a day or 2 ... sometimes he just waits an hour or so ...

If it goes more than several days - try some garlic extract ... I got some from a company called Kent - it was expensive - but it is good
I even use it for fishing! ... good stuff!
