So I have never been very superstitious, black cats, walking under ladders all that crap never really struck me. That was until about 3 weeks ago when I sold my pair of silver arowana in preparation of moving to an Asian Aro.
Bad luck was all over me. Everything would somehow go sideways, and fall apart, just constantly being bombarded with crap. That was until I got this guy. I get back to work the Monday after buying him and everything starts to flow my way, complete 180. I literally couldn't miss with my clients, and life started rolling again, perhaps a little better than before to be honest actually.
Now I know this is a little illogical to believe selling a fish brought bad luck and replacing him brought good luck back, but dang.... it was an eerie coincidence after I looked back on the past month and how things played out....
same here. it seems a little too good to be true. but yeah ever since i got my aro things seem to be really working out for me. im getting good grades at school n i feel somewhat happier than before. people around me seem more supportive n happy too. the guy at the lfs believes in feng shui n he said the aro is a lucky fish. brings luck n prosperity. i was sceptical at first but it turned out to be one of the best decisions i ve ever made haha.
but still i dont know whether its feng shui or myb the act of keeping n taking care of the fish makes me feel at peace.

So I finally took the dive and decided to get into this all the way. I have been keeping silvers for a while now to get my feet wet and I wanted something better and nicer. I found a BBXB at a fish store in Toronto and picked up this little guy!
His certificate is what worried me. The guy scanned the fish in front of me, I wrote down the tag number displayed on the device, and when he pulled out the certificate it was described as a 24K Golden Arowana, not a BBXB as the fish physically appears. In his broken english he tried to tell me that when the fish are young, they sometimes label the fish incorrectly. I tried googling the farm that is on the certificate, but the website appears out of date.
Either way I went ahead with it cause I liked the fish, and at the end of the day thats what really matters to me. So without further delay here are the pics!
The little guy is about 6-7 inches, and gobbles hikari sticks luckily.
Congratz on ur catch. Over here, the old birds always say, "See fish, not cert". After all, the paper isn't what you be looking at everyday. Out of curiosity, which farm is this guy from?
Damm if I spent $1200 on a fish I wouldn't have anything else in the tank that could remotely harm it. Unless they were 6 inches smaller and could be considered food....
