, I have dimmable lights
I followed all your instructions. But during day time when I put on the lights she remain in a corner. When I swtch of the light at night she comes out. Then she appear as she got something like freedom and swim all around the tank.I don't know if there is a specific relationship between blue lights and the aro but it is a fact that silvers particularly can be skittish at first
I have never used blue lights only to make them comfortable, like
What I used to do is in the morning as I get up, I switch on the lights in the room where the tank is and leave that on for a little while
Then I switched the tank lights on gradually and increased slowly.
Did this for a while until she settled

... i know how worried and frustrated you must be.... my instructions were only advice and sharing what worked for us... but it wont work in two or three days.. it will take some time
Thanks for your reply. I am thinking of changing colour to pink. To know whether she will be fine with that...
With some, they come right quickly.. some takes a little longer..
I know it sounds crazy but try to relax a little.. have faith and give her some time
I truly believe that sometimes when we all worried and nervous, our animals and even fish feel this...
Carry on with a routine every day and i have faith that she will come right....
It's because rather than white silver will be more beautiful in pink light. From many videos and photos it's obvious
This is so true of arowana. I've kept hundreds of species of fish over the last 3 decades. None are more tuned in to their owners than arowana. I've only kept silvers, but it seems other species of aros are similar. I can totally understand why these fish get there mystical status. They seem to actually be able to feel what their owners are feeling. Sounds crazy I know, but I speak from experience. The other thing with aros is they take far longer to adjust to minor changes than any other fish I've kept. They are a fish that appreciate routine. If I'm even 5 minutes late at feeding time mine starts biting at the lid and getting upset. He does not like anything out of the norm. Any change needs to made gradually over time. I had to keep mine with no lights on the tank for months because he just couldn't get used to the idea. Now he's ok with it. It seems as they approach the 2 foot mark they tend to settle in and gain confidence.
