So every saturday morning i get up early and go to lifetime fitness to play basketball for several hours, I got a sweet one handed put back dunk off a missed three pointer today :headbang2. my first one ever and Im happy about it. But I made the mistake of not checking on the tanks this morning like I usually do and it almost cost me. I came home around 1 pm and went directly to checking my tanks. All of them were fine except my jardini arowanas tank. It was extremely cloudy and I couldn't even see the other side of the 125 gallon.:eek: She was on one side of the tank near the bottom and not swimming like she usually does. She had apparently thrown up her entire meal from the night before and the tank was filthy. :WHOA:I have been meaning to move her over into the 700 gallon for a while now since I got it running but was hesitant because of how she would behave. Well I decided that now was the time I need to acclimate her and put her into the big tank so she has more room to swim. I spent the next hour drip acclimating her to the 700 and finally put her in. She is very active and swims all over the tank. She hasn't misbehaved yet but time will tell. Im just so thankful I didn't lose her because I would not forgive myself for not checking the tanks in the morning before I left. I tried to get some pics of her in the tank but she wouldn't come from the other side of the tank with me standing there. You can kinda make her out in the pic, its the best one I could get. also a pic of my niger cat getting in my face waiting for food. lol

Im really praying she does. Good thing is that if she decides to throw up a meal in that tank it wont matter. lol Im not sure why she threw up though, she has never thrown up before.

Any updates? hope your aro is okay and enjoying her new home! Pics of the 700? :D

Thanks. She hasn't eaten yet but I am going to try some beefheart today and hopefully she will chow down. There is a video of it in my sig. I don't have an updated video with the aro in there yet.
 
Nice, i like the idea of an above ground pool, i really wish i had the space! Good luck today, hope she takes to the beefheart.
