Derick some of your points are right, but its better to just move on. You said what you felt, now your just filling this false sense of ego over a public forum thats just kind a pathetic. No one is laughing anymore, everyone is quite irritated with you.
Hows the arowana?
Hows the arowana?
alot of the 3"+- silvers i have had have rested on the bottom from time to time...they did it more with egg sacks, but it isn't uncommon...even my 10" aro stayed on the bottom till it was 15-17" after it jumpped came up to eat and then back to its spot...aslong as you get it in a tank with good filtration it should come around...i never used meds on my aros just heat and salt...
not saying its right long term but it is do-able for a while. at work we had someone drop off an african cichlid covered in fungus. We couldnt put it in with our other fish because of risk of transfer so it lived in a 5 gallon pail with heat and a small filter until it recovered. Make sure it has heat, get a cheap submersible filter and make sure you keep the water clean. Honestly, a small aro temporarily (by that i mean like a few days to a week) in a bucket is really no different that a big aro in a pond. i think it was good of you to at least try to save it and hope it grows big for you.
by the way, the african cichlid is now living happily in our main tanks after making a full recovery.

Really? Your going to blame him for the fishes action? Thats like someone blaming you for them doing drugs. Get ****en over yourself.
Any updates regarding the arowana, hoping to hear it is in the 10g tank at least.
Or maybe like someone keeping a silver aro in a tank without a secure top or even no top. If the aro jumps and dies it is the keepers fault, no matter what the actions of the fish. This A. gigas was bought on an impulse with absolutely no research being done whatsoever. So yes it is the keepers fault when the gigas ended up dead.
WTF does your analogy supposed to prove? The person doing drugs has a choice the fish does not even have the capacity to even make a choice.
C'mon you can do better then that, can't ya?

C'mon you can do better then that, can't ya?I agree. Thats why i dislike MFK. Because people think theyre big shots because they have a few thousand posts. They always troll and act like they know everything. What your saying is true but you dont have to act like sucha snob. Not a good look.Deep Blue Sea;4154453; said:
