Best advise to follow. Sad part is other newbies reading it and following, but oh well this is what the aro forum has come too :thumbsdow. Guarantee you would not have seen volumes 1 thru 4 of the "Noob" in the gar or probably any other forum

consider my join date and you can say i am a noob in this forum, and thats the problem i have with it, so you're blaming me for it while its the way the noob is treated even before i came in as a noob.

yes i have been watching this specific forum especially. you bderick is the most mature way to respond but it does not mean its valid, and i can see you try to come to common sense and u changed your way of posting too since i know you.

and also alot of it is derailed and becoming a flamefest. thats when mod takes action, do the cleaning which sometimes i feel sorry for

when newer noob see my progress of the aro noob, what is it the you worry for?
for putting 5 inch size arowana in 20G tank till about 6-7 inch, then moved to its bigger size tank?
for not cyling the water the old fashion way? when there is products to speed up the process for good and done with caution?
when you watch you water parameter closely and take the proper action when it calls it?
when no fish harm and they all grow beautifully and healthy?

and it is now i have baby wild silver arowana which is i put it in 75G tank along with mollies, frogs, and baby chiclids?
owh btw the mollies bred in my tank, i must done something wrong with it..fish tend to breed in my care i dont know why but im sure its not because i miscare them.
do you think i will put my small arowana in with the bigger, yes i will try it if it dont work i can simply buy another tank or sell the other, either way work fine no?
 
Been watching the wild aro eating dried freeze bloodworm and competing eating it with he full grown mollies,I can tell u the mollies r afraid of the baby aroand she does move very swiftly and pack power in grabbing force that it would splash water to the glass top and sometimes half of her body would go air born just for that blood worm lol
 
At the end of the day, a WC silver or a farm bred silver is still a silver. It doesn't make any difference in my opinion. Why try so hard of identifying of where it came from, just "Enjoy it and Treasure it", that's all you need to do!

:D
 
agree silver is silver and they r exactly the very same species, what makes me interested and took it home is broader gene pool that makes up the fish compare to the farmed breed.
Besides I never seen one that marked as "wild" at my lfs. They do have farmed one too and its marked as silver arowana.
Hell yeah I'm enjoying the experience and learning the difference if any lol

If only you actually did that though.
It was more of, you "cycled" fishless with tap water, which is completely pointless by the way. The you hit an ammonia spike when you added your fish into it later on when you believed your tank to be "cycled". Then you had to go patch it up with some chemicals. Thats not called cycling with products to speed up the process. Its called screwing up then using chemicals to fix your mistake.
 
that is what you believed, if you read it somewhere i used API product stress zyme+ and stess coat+ from the very beginning.
yes i had problem with nitrite spiked for short of period of time but enough to cause my aro an ick, thats the only fish has the ick in my tank and cured fully within 2 days.
there never ammo spike in there. get the fact straight, i know nitrite caused by ammo and bla bla bla and its more dangerous than ammo but thats not the point.
when first i set it up yes i was fishless for like 24 hours to settle the water i add the api products while doing it and add again when adding fish within hours of each fish.
yes i used the patch from seachem called prime to help me control it.
and what is wrong with using product to help you achieve what you want?
do i have to follow excactly what you ordered me to make you happy?
unfortunetely i do not take order LOL, so be it be and be my guess to be my "guppies".
 
Before you begin to read this message I would like for you to be sure that your current area is free from distractions and would like you to fully absorb the message here.

Just because someones join date is sooner than that of someone that joined in 2007 doesn't mean they are noob, nor have I ever seen on this forum someone with a recent join date be treated like a noob. Someone could be 40 years old and have been keeping fish since they were a teenager, but that doesn't mean that since they just now decided to join a forum and start talking about their fish stories and the experiences that they have had, that it makes them a noob? No, it obviously doesn't. Some of the best fish keepers are not even on forums like this, would that make them a noob? Certainly not!

unfortunetely i do not take order LOL, so be it be and be my guess to be my "guppies".

We call it a "Guest" not "Guess" a "Guess" is something that you are truly basing off of opinions and not fact, thus meaning someone can not be your "Guess" to be your "guppies". On a side note, I doubt as though anyone would want to be your "guppies" because your the only goober I have ever seen to put guppies, cichlids, and an arowana together. Congratulations you win dumbest fish keeper of the year award! Post your details so we can mail you your trophy!


I also question your true age, because of the comments that you make, and think are funny. As well as your ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE English, I can barely understand what your trying to say. It seems as though you get heated about someones comment or reply and just start blasting at the keyboard not really knowing what you are typing or if it makes sense at all. If I could give some advice (that you will probably laugh at) it would be to please re-read your posts BEFORE you submit them. You stated earlier about people being "keyboard warriors", and I would say that you are more of a keyboard warrior yourself while your blasting away at your keyboard repulsively (if you don't know what it means look it up)! The more you act and talk like a child the less likely people are to believe that you are indeed an adult, and will continue to treat you how they all treat you. Your reasoning skills when it comes to peoples advice need serious help as well, as stated previously your "childish comebacks" 9 times out 10 make NO sense at all, and go off in a completely different directions as if to avert someones attention in a different direction to get off the previous subject or topic.

One more basic tip of advice: STOP ACTING, THINKING, AND SPEAKING LIKE A CHILD AND THE LESS LIKELY YOU WILL BE TREATED LIKE A CHILD.

No offense to you on this, and you can continue to post all the childish comments you want because chances are I will not even come back to this hilariously obnoxious thread.

Now re-read all of this

This statement was directed towards the three threads(Volumes one and two were combined into a single closed thread) titled "Progress of an aro noob". As these threads are full of nonsense and would not have been allowed to continue into new volumes if similar such threads were say posted in the "gar" sub forum.

Basically this thread is just volume 4 of the crazy saga. :duh:
 
Wow funny thread. I have to wonder how anyone could even distinguish WC/CB arowana, let alone at this size. I've kept both WC and CB for years and still can barely tell the difference. Anyways I hope you don't mind wasting money, you can purchase 100% WC arowana for the same or less than for farm bred from a reputable vendor. I have not read your previous threads so I have no idea what setup you have, but I hope you are not too selfish and irresponsible to purchase this fish without being able to provide the home it will need. And aros grow FAST.
 
well said BCmac
i agree to disagree and leave it as that, when someone questioned me with attack tone i have to clarify, yes i admit there is attack tone to it, but its eye for an eye.
as u prolly already know i am not a native english speaker and yes my grammar is suck and i have a lot of typo, but thats not the reason and i got my point acrossed.

FYI my wild arowana is not with guppies but its with mollies, last time i check they r different fish, and you never "see". you're told.
and i do not mind my mollies will get eaten by the aro someday, and i know that day will come, as for my baby chiclids and aro they never meet in the tank, as right i do not see them a thread to both species.
i will gladly honor that "dumbest fish keeper of the year award" only if could keep them healthy and no fish loss without counting "feeder fish" thats got eaten :D
sorry i had to do it.

and yes i will keep posting it how it turns out i just wish people stop derailing one's post.
