She's about 2.5ft now. Main diet is frozen market prawns with head and shell intact. Loves meal worms which the arowana missed that reaches the tank's bottom. Noticed that she tends to put on quite alot of mass round the tummy area if fed mostly on meal worms ... :confused:

Will give her Hikari sinking pellets for ranchu once in a while ... gobble that up too.

Eating is no problem now but the tank's filteration is ... :D

2.5ft!!! Nice, she's huge!

I'll have to try the mealworms, a LFS sells them, the more variety the better probably.

I hear you about the filtration, these things sure can poop! :D

Great fish, I like the difference in thier fins(arms and legs?) as opposed the the SA/Africans lung fish

Agreed, that's one of the things that appealed to me as well. Aussies fins look like flippers to me.
 
Awesome fish Hopefully if I get permits sorted I should have one this year :)
