Currently don't have any arrowana. They're too fragile when small... We don't like to sell fish that are prone to sickness.It's also why we wont carry small neons/cardinals/angels/clown loaches etc. Much rather bring in juvies or larger. If you buy a clown loach at 1.5 inches or less, you're throwing your money away in my opinion. That small you have to feed em 3 times a day, and make sure no other loaches are larger in the tank, denying them food. Else they suffer the skinny loach syndrome you see in so many clown loaches around here.

Plus at pet pourii the arrowana in the tank with the tea cup stingrays was sitting on the bottom of the tank for like 2 weeks.... So definately observe it for a while if you are thinking of buying that one :P Theres a reason they put no guarantee next to arrowanas. We had 18 inch silver , but was sold a while ago. Theres so many arrowana that hit craigslist/chinatown/petpourii/bridges.You're honestly better off finding an arrowana from a local member/findinga larger one for sale in a store. The ones stores get are either A, trade ins. or b, juvies that are gonna be a crapshoot.

PS. For anyone looking, theres a 18 inch black ghost knife at bridges for 75 bucks, and 5-6 inch clown loaches, for 30 bucks each. They have two loaches.

Ok, Ask me about stingrays all you want, but I'm not a catfish guy at all, but I want in on the joke. what is that about? I know its a cross bred fish, but are they sterile or something?

These ones actually aren't hybrids, but I don't know that anyone has had them breed in the standard aquaria these are being kept in... they would need WAY more room to actually breed...
 
Send him a email and see what he says about it

Oh trust me i'm no expert on cats either, but i've read up on the TSN's and they aren't bred in captivity and only WC or could possibly be bred in large mud ponds.. Not to mention i've kept TSN's for a couple years now and it would have to be over double the size of that guys to even reach maturity.. Also dave they aren't a cross breed at all, they are just like a RTC.. It's all the RTCxTSN and other crosses that aren't found in the wild..
 
by any chance does anyone have a cheaper 75-120 gallon tank and stand for sale? or if someone trust me making payments on a setup?

Has anyone ever been to "The Wet Spot" in Portland, OR.? that is by far the best fish store i've ever been to! I think any one who is in the hobby should go there atleast once. they've got a 500G all glass african cichlid set up, and ROWS of tanks. ALOT of oddball fish, and wild imports. i was in fish heaven!!!! i'm still kicking myself for not getting a few Ornate Bichirs and some Polypterus endlicheri. they were like 6" long and going for $49.99, and no tax. Any ways i just thought i'd share that bit of information with my fellow MFKers:)
