I had a 2 foot Silver that had gotten too big for my tank. And as I was trying to sell it, I figured I'd put it in my pond for the summer and let it stretch as it's been getting a little cooped up in the tank he was in. Anyway, I had a net over the pond because I know that they're notorious jumpers. My dad however was cleaning out the bottom of the pond for something, and he never put the net back over. The next day I found the poor Arowana on the ground :( I loved that fish, had it since it was only a couple inches long. Second saddest fatality I've ever had
 
Sorry for ur loss..on a lighter note i read somwhere that u shudnt say aloud in front of ur arowana that u're gonna sell it cos it will commit suicide...just a myth
 
sorry for your loss. i am sure Dad feels pretty bad...
 
Sorry to hear.

Silver arowana are jumpers no matter what they are kept in, this despite what some people think. Hopefully others may learn from this misfortune.
