silver arowana

I have a baby black Arowana and was considering adding a silver while they are still small so they grow up accustomed to each other's company. Will that work? They will be in a 400 gallon. Additionally I was going to put some clown loaches and a royal plecostemus in there. I'm pretty sure...

Hi all, I am brand new to the arowana community and a new proud owner of a very young silver arowana. Just yesterday my wife mentioned to me that my arowana has been acting a little weird. Upon observing my arowana, I saw that it was not swimming at all and just chilling in the corner of the...

Hey MFK ;) I currently have a 13 inch silver arowana in a 400 gallon tank and a mate of mine would like to get rid of a 17 inch silver arowana Would they be fine together in the same tank or would it just be a death threat? I have read that a few fights will happen but because of dominance...

Hello everyone! I just moved my 9 inch silver arowana from my 125g to my 210g (not its final tank) which has a circulation pump at the surface for better oxygen exchange. The flow pushes the arowana around a lot but when I turn off the pump, the arowana and other fish start breathing hard being...

Ok, long-time reader but new member to MFK, so I apologize for any faux pas. I've finally picked up my own silver arowana, under two friggin' inches! I've been eventually planning for one so I've done a fair amount of research (and or course have long-term plans for housing) but the biggest...
