New Silver Arowana

[sheajared]

Just bought a silver arowana at my LFS for $20!!! He's only 2", so small. I'm VERY excited, any tips or tricks for me?

wow 2" is small... watch out for it being that small the survivability is risky.

Not a fish one should be raising if not fully researched and prepared.


Good luck.

You seem to have 3 75 gallon tanks, you are going to need a whole lot more than that!

Maybe I'm crazy. I think I'm one of the few people that would prefer a smaller fish over a bigger fish despite the price. I just would rather raise the fish all the way through its life.

Good luck with your Arowana.

Though I never understand people that go ahead and buy a monster fish before having a monster tank.

Tank size won't be an issue for awhile. There are many other concerns with baby aros, such as tank mates, feeding etc. Is you tank top completely sealed?

There is nothing wrong with raising monsters in growout tanks as long as it's done properly. Of coarse in order to do it properly, research definitely needs to be done. This is where the majority of people seem to fail.
