Behind you
I woke up this morning hearing my dads voice excitedly saying "i got shrimps for your aro" I was delighted to hear that and also got excited to feed my 15" silver aro. I didn't waste any time and immediately went downstairs from my room to give an early breakfast to my favorite pet. As I was approaching the tank I saw live shrimp..Pleasant surprise turned to anger. I told my dad why did he directly put those live shrimps directly to the tank..He answers things indirectly so I didn't bother to argue, afterall he's my dad, but in this case I think I know better. Then things got even worse when he told me that "your arowana already ate 5 of those shrimps like a starving pig." HOLY .... Shrimp with shells and a sting like thing on its head I know aint a good thing coz it could puncture my aro's internal organs, but since it was already a done thing what could I do? So here's my question, is there always a 100% probability that arowana's that ate shrimps with head will suffer fatal injuries? or is there a way that my aro could survive this? I'm too concerned for my aro right now that it seems like I couldn't take my eyes off my tank.
 
http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=77774 well i don't want to scare you.. but yes i think this was a bad idea.. but maybe your arow will get lucky and not be affected.. i hope so... i would try to get the rest of the shrimp out of there.. and tell dad to join MFK and read up on arow care...
 
damn! it took at least a week for the aro to die.....I'll have sleepless nights!
 
i need all the luck in the world.. the aro was a gift from my girl, the sentimental value couldn't be replaced
 
A long time ago my dad did that to my oscars and i was lke er... dad you know you're going to kill the oscars and they wont fit in their mouth. Then my dad saying daddy knows best LOL sure enough none of them got eaten and one of the oscars got damaged :(
