Hey all, we got mojo a few weeks back and his fins were a little tore up, he is doing great and eating pellets. Currently around 14-15".
Our arowana journey has been a long one, initially we had a silver in our old 180g, he got to 16" when we had worked out that wouldn't work so sold him on, after upgrading to the 300g several years ago we bought a 14" Jardini, needless to say my stock took a beating and he was sold the next day, beautiful fish tho.
Fast forward a year or two and we bought a yellow tail Asian at about 12", he was also beautiful, even more so in fact but yoyo turned mean too at around 14" and as hard as it was after several deaths he was sold on.
That brings us almost full circle, we want black due to all silvers getting drop eye and the size to a degree.
He has really grown on us and the way a sa arowana moves is exquisite, something none of the other arowana can do is swim like a silver or black arowana, true dragons!-)
Anyway here is mojo....

Cheers, he/she is awesome, if you can get a 300+ gallon tank very much worth every penny.
Sometimes I've contemplated closing down my big tank then you come across a fish that really becomes a pet, a joy to see when I'm home from work.
You say she, is that an observation or a guess?
Not sure if anyone can sex mojo for me?
 
Nice Dragon ;-) I'm just jealous that you can choose any aro you feel like - especially the Asian Aro!

I think the reference to "she" was just used for referencing, and not sexing.
 
Well if money permitted I could pick an Asian I liked!-)
My missus would kill me if I spent £1800 on a fish
 
Amazing! I missed out on a black at my LFS about a month ago! I'm still in love with my silver too! I will have a jardini one day too!
 
Yeah silver are my favourite lately but it's the drop eye and massive size that puts me off, black stay my slender although almost as long. Thanks for the nice comments.
