- Start date
Wow.. i can't believe i've only had this arowana for two weeks...
I'm happy to say that he's still doing well.. and is now able to eat Arowana sticks..
I still got about 5-7 crickets left for the little guy to eat... but i guess i cant start introducing a wider variety of food for him...
The area in which he was affected seems to start healing itself, also areas where his fins were torn/clipped are starting to repair itself.. I'd say about another month or so.. he'll be good as new...
I've also introduced a few tank mates with him.. They wont be causing too much danger to him.... but i think it would be time for him to get used to other fish swimming around before he goes to my bigger Arowana tank...
At the moment his tank mates are Bala Sharks... I got them for free from a friend who was looking to get rid of them... (i actually bought those sharks for him as a gift).
I'll be monitoring those sharks as the week goes on.. but there maybe some issue... Originally I had 4 Bala shark inside that tank.. one of them was another a Bala I rescued from Petco.. He was missing one eye.. eaten by Gourmi in Petco... I took him home and decided to put him in the tank..
To make long story short.. I came home yesterday and saw the one eyed bala shark dead... I have no idea how he died.. but I'm gussing he was killed by the injured Arowana... NO IDEA...
I'll continue to update on the progress of him....

good effort, good work
not many people would take a sick and injured aro, let alone put tht much effort into it. God forbid, i am unsure if i would.
but your story inspires us all!!!
give it some shrimp and or hikari pellets
i love hikari!! i tell you, my fish grows fastand i reckon that hikari stuff has something to do with it!!!

It is Bryan. It turns out the temensis they posted on their stock list didn't come in, so I'm going back in the new year when they do come. I wanna grab 3 or 4 of them.
