Do you think African Arowanas are ugly?

[asm129]

I have a big African Aro that I've grown out from 3". He's about 17-18" now. When I have guests over (especially girls), most of them say my African Aro looks ugly/scary and looks like a snake or eel. I think he looks pretty tight though and he's one of my favorite fish. It still bugs me a little that most other people don't think it's as cool as I do.

What do you think about African Aros? I thought about selling mine for awhile because only my friends who have monster fish think he looks cool. Have you ever sold a fish because your guests told you it was ugly?

To me they are the nicest of the non-Asian varieties. I wish I still had mine. Are you keeping fish to impress others or are you keeping fish you enjoy?

One of the reasons I like having my tanks in the basement and off of the main floor is that I can avoid having to answer some of the stupid questions and remarks that some visitors can come up with.I'm at the point now where I don't even mention my tanks to visitors who don't already know about them.

African Arowanas look awesome! I love them. They kind of get too big for me tho.
