Hey guys. So I just finished moving my Jardini from its small 46gallon tank to the bigger 150 gallon. I thought aros would put up a fight when being caught with a net but this guy just swam willingly into the net and stayed still. Took less than 5 minutes to transfer him. Couldn't measure him with the camera in my hand but he is a smudge away from being 7". Enjoy the pictures.


*I also added a picture of how he looked when I got him a month ago.
*The last picture is of my Jardini in the 150.

You are so lucky. I am planning to move my silver aro (8" size) from my 20gal tank to the 65 gal tank within the next few weeks. I know he is going to put up a fight. Just hope I can handle it without injury to him. Then again when he hits 14", I'll be moving him to a 250g tank.
 
Looking very nice. I remember when mine was that size. Jardinis are the most fun, they are usually not shy like silvers, also making it a lot easier to feed them.

Thank you. Mine was a bit skittish being in the small tank, now that he's in the bigger tank he seems to have calmed down a bit.
 
Jardini looking good!
 
Awesome JAR! I picked up my first one yesturday. Already eating blood worms. I want him to eat the sticks though. I guess the standard starving method should work. What you feed yours?
