:) i really don't know if i want the encourage the leaping habit.. but there is this branch that we cut from a tree.. the branch has completely dried out.. we need to strip the bark and prepare it.. might hang it in the center or fix it thru the gap below the frosted pane.. cheers..

its a natural instinct for sliver arowanas , not too high as i can see gaps near the top
 
Hello Kaya, absolutely amazing build.
On moving your fish. You really want to use the net? I'd take a bed sheet and work that through the tank, under the arowana, then lift it at all four corners. To avoid jumping, have one smaller sheet on top to 'blind' him.

You'll need three persons, 1 standby, hands free, 2 for lifting the sheet, depending on the weight of course...
Guess that would reduce your chances of damaging the fish considerable.

Good luck with your pond, till the end of this year I envy you. Then I'll start myself...

Actually had the carpenter around the whole day and the guys supposed to deliver that one frosted glass pane never turned up though they were around the corner and were reminded like some 3 to 4 times.. little irritating..
