Do you think African Arowanas are ugly?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
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?
You need to understand that most Asian, especially Asian girl have a phobia with snake or eel, so it's normal if they think your African aro is ugly... It's ok, as long as they love YOUR snake/eel, and don't think that one is ugly! :naughty:
 
I kick any girl who say that to my fish out of my house!
You only said that, because you don't have either girl or house! :ROFL:
