So, Is this a Black Arowana?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Awesome pics! I'm getting one in August! Can't wait.
 
Thank guys :), yeah thought I'd show off my fish while having some fun with the whole black, blue, Colombian silver nonsense that's been going around lately.

This is one of the two young ones shown, unfortunately one died at about 6-7". Somehow it may have over ate and choked to death. The thread I did about it here; Lost a Small Black Aro...Maybe to Overeating?

Thing that really sucked is the two got along together very well, no fighting at all. Well hopefully the same will hold true when I introduce it into the 450g coming up here in a few weeks. Possibly I'll add him on Memorial day weekend or may wait till 4th of July.
 
Nice arow no doubt about that. Nice cichla to.
 
nice blue!

i missed that thread...must have been when i stole my brothers xbox and was playing C.O.D modern warfare 2 for like 3 weeks streight...:grinno:...after you introduce it it might go on a growth spert with the extra room...i know my silvers do...i am tring to find some black aros around me, but it is tough...every lfs i talk to says they'er illegal:screwy:...the one that has some are to big and to expencive...
 
That isn't a black, it is just a worthless silver and appears to be in very poor condition, but don't worry, you can just give him to me if you don't want him anymore... ;):naughty: :grinno:
 
What are you feeding him?

The one I have is on a strictly pellet diet...but I haven't really been tracking his growth to see how fast he's growing.
 
Thanks all:)

This guy eats pellets, market shrimp, crickets and earthworms.
