dpunz's Silver Arowana Community Adventure!

[dpunz]

I've picked up four juvenile Silver Arowana's a couple weeks ago. They've been growing out in my growout. I'm hoping to toss them into the main tank with the big boy with no problems in the future. I'll be documenting they're growth from now on. Currently feeding them small cichlid pellets.

I've missed the first couple weeks of documenting growth, but they have put on decent size already. I'll start my photo documentation on this weekend. I think they have put on 1/2" already! I was a little worried when I've seen some of them nipping at each other. However after feeding three times a day (Morning, afternoon, Midnight). Fighting has completely stopped, and I hope they stay that way! lol

All the best... how big is your grow out tank and the main tank? and big boy's size?

They are growing out in my 40gal long. I have an 90gal that I should be setting up soon. The main tank is a 8x2x2 240gal glass, and the big boy is around 26".

Sorry for the no updates, I've been cramped with homework, finals and my seasonal full time job.

Here is what they looked like the night I put them in the growout. Sorry for the horrible pictures.

Here is what they look like now, about 3 weeks later. One of them is fairly smaller compared to the rest. It is not loving the pellets as much as the other 3.

Here is the big boy in the 240.

Just got home from work an hour ago. Fed the babies, and I thought I'd snap a few quick photos.

Shot of the runt, still not eating much. But eating enough. Found out it prefers freeze dried krill.

Group shot

Couple shots of the 2 larger ones.

My favorite of the 4, the other larger one. And has lighter color than the rest.

Sorry for the crappy photos. I'll try for some better photos after finals.
