  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
wow gorgeous aro what do you feed him?
 
Thanks for all your advice.

I'm still undecided. I'll just leave him that way for now. I know an expert who can do this risky operation with positive results. He's done it with multiple aros. I'll also ask his opinion. If the operation push through, I'll let you all know.
 
I would find a experienced person to do the anal fin. You're right, it is an eye sore.
Other than that, beautiful fish!
 
Nice XB with classic shape. From Panda?

The operation would be pretty simple, I am not that experimented and would be able to do it, so I am pretty sure you could do it yourself. If you want to try it yourself, you can get the "legal" transmore, look for Arowana Stabilizer on Ebay, it's pretty cheap, around 10$ I think. I have used it many times before on my own Aros and it works pretty well.

Keep us updated and best of luck with your Aro. You're pretty lucky that it suffured such minor injuries.
 
its an eyesore but why stress the fish out? Maybe itll just fall off by itself, if you cut it off what makes you different from those crazy japanese fish keepers who cut the tail off their flowerhorns just to make them tail less.

TY. Tough luck indeed. I'll probably ask my experienced friend to do it. If or when that happen, I'll observe his work so that I'll have the confidence to do it "if" this accident happen next time. My XB "Sudi" is from Asia Dragon Fish Farm.
