How to set up a arowana tank RIGHT ?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
sounds like you need some fish basics first before even attempting a fish like an arowana ;)
 
actually i completely agree with Greg. as will most people on this site. It depends though is your water hard or soft?
 
1st cycle your water. and yes de-chlorinated water should be used.
all fish will need these parameters.
as for silvers, they prefer soft water.
 
Just seems like if all you know about keeping a fish is dechlorinating your water, you should start with something easier to care for then an arowana.

No offense.
 
not sure what else you would need besides de chlor
Amazon extract could soften the water abit for SA fish
 
A big wallet for a huge tank and a room that can support the weight. Everything else should be similar to other fish. Cycled and upkeep. What size tank are you housing yours in?
