Silver Aro

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My arapaimas did not make it through last winter in the outdoor set-up (fairly large set-up). the water temp got down to and stayed at 16C even if the day temperature was higher. All three died (they were almost 3 feet) My neighbors paimas pulled through though in their pond but it was not their first winter (his are massive beasts though).
 
Keeping the lights on 24/7 and cover it with a layer of cloth over the tank may keep the heat in there.:)

Your the one that brought up the pond, do you really believe aros could live for several weeks in an aquarium at 65 degrees?

Didn't your silver die as a result of not properly acclimating to temperature? Maybe that would be a better experience to share with the OP. Advice there could be helpful once the new heater has been installed.

He's not looking at several weeks, he's asking if it will live till wednesday. And I say yes it will.

The silver that died was a different one, and that was my mistake. Given that you have an encyclopedic knowledge of every post ever made in this forum I'm sure you know that.

What is it that makes you such an arowana god if you don;t mind me asking? It seems that if you don;t agree with what other people post, or they have ideas that are different than your own, you go on the attack.

You also presented the condition that the aro could live for weeks at 65 degrees, this could be taken the wrong way.

Yes, I do know that, others may not. You have experience as to what could happen by not properly acclimating yet you still choose not to share that with the OP

As for being an "Arowana God" well that is a image you seem to have generated:screwy: But, yes if I don't agree with someone's advice or opinion, I will debate/argue it.
