So i finally found a Tiny Silver Arow for 20GBP.
I was feeling like crap and went home to take my meds. Dad thought he'd cheer me up when I woke up and said 'I'll take you to the Out of town LFS nr Rugby'

so after looking around in World of Water LongLawford, i spotted a tiny badge saying silver arowana for 20GBP. didn't see any and carried on looking at fish.
I was walking back to the counter when i spotted something flash by. Bent down to take a closer look and found a tiny arow in the tank with Dats.

Asked the staff what is has been eating - great i already have that ready for it.

Got him home and after acclimating he/she ate some blood worm.

Starved him for 2 days and then he wolfed down down pellets.

I haven't got any decent pix of it ATM as he/she scarpers under the cover of the Amazon Frobit when i come close the the tank. he's small enough to hide in the roots. <10CM

he/she is eating really well and chases the pellets around the tank at feeding time.



All the small fish have been moved to another tank. His/Her tankmates are the Pearl Gouramis and Fighters. Its scared of the fighter who is 1/3 his/her size. He/She swims around the tank alot and likes swimming in amongst the Amazon Frogbit roots.

Heres some pix

Thanks Guys.
I am already searching for a larger tank. Just wish i had bought some display tanks from an LFS that closed down a few months ago. A 5by5 square by 2.5 deep went for under 150GBP and i missed it.
 
nice pickup..still remember i bought 3 aros..then teach"em eat by jump out the water..awesome..nice and keep an eye on him and good luck
 
that guy is little, i had one with an eggsack once about 2"... Gf bought it for me and her but it went in my tank, and my dat ate it.

Good luck!
 
He won't be scared of the Betta much longer. I like him, looks like he's in good shape.
