my parents really believe in Feng Shui so after a series of unfortunate events, including the medics coming to my house TWICE in one week last week, and the important fact that my jardini did jump out of the tank and was saved by my wife not too long ago, they asked me to release the fish. although jardini's are not asian arowana's, but they still resemble "dragon fish". Mom and Pop really did convince me well with their reasons, and i gave them my word agreeing to release the fish this saturday, which btw is a good day for Buddhism.
i plan to put my 2yo jar in a huge pond in front of my office at work. it's a private property so no fishing allowed. my colleagues and i usually feed fish there at lunch. i believe it's going to be a very good place for my jar.
man, not an easy decision to make, but don't wanna make The Elders worry more.
questions:
1. will he be OK without air pump for about 45 minutes?
2. will he be OK in the pond in winter? it can get to below zero here, and i don't really know how deep the pond is. a lake would be better in this aspect, heard of Buckeye Lake? not far from me, but fishing is allowed there. plus, i'll still feel him closer to me being in the pond at work.
3. i never pay close attention to threads about bagging your monsters because i never had an intent to do that except for tank swapping. is clear or black bag better for this use?
no more dragon fish for me for a long while. have raised this fun boy since 2.5". he was shipped from asia.
thanks for reading. enjoy your dragons!
