sack on baby Arowana

[greatfulxdead]

i payed 20 for mine. no sack. no monkey business.

thats an incredible price! he should be fine with those tankmates

those pictus cats will go right after that yold sac...i had to get rid of mine because they would go after my retic rays tail and bite the ends off, and my pictus cats were only 3 inchers...

Ya think? The cats yeah but I'd worry about those gouramis.

Easier than a separate tank, you could put a divider in the 55 so the other fish can't get at him, that's probably safer as it's already cycled and running. Leave the divider in until the sack is gone and he's eating well, maybe 3-4" long.

probably the most realistic idea yet
do that until you can set up his own tank or till hes big enough
but by 6 inches he will probably start to go after the small fish in your tank so long term and short term those tankmates are not gonna work

he will be in a 220 most likely. Im working on getting a 670 but we'll see.

cool how long term is that?

use the water from your main tank for the 10 gal tank..... u cannot leave him in the bag too long.. hopefully you have him in bag in the tank to keep warm... they need the yolk sak because that is their food supply.. when that is gone then you start feeding him... poor little baby..good luck..

no he is in the bag in the tank. The LFS guy told me he was eating guppies.

18 bucks is a lot of money for a dead fish. I would not recommend putting an arowana that size with any tankmates. Baby aros should be kept solitary until about 5".

thats not a good sign
either divide off the 55 or put a current filter from the 55 on a fresh tank

i don't know.. i quess he could..depending on the instinct in him.. eating is probably a good sign if it is true..

lol i thot the opposite i figured the guy probably dropped some guppies in there walked away and the guppies probably picked at him until they got eaten by tankmates
