High Back Red Tail Gold Arowana

[RealCrix220]

I just have to show off my red tail gold, I was so proud of this fella it was unreal

I will show the day I put him in the tank and how he ended up, he ended up with the tank to himself

had to move him on due to moving home and sadly it died, I was gutted to find out but here he is

That was a really nice fish!

It was amazing to grow and watch, by far the most interesting and amazing fish I’ve ever had

That was a beautiful Arowana.

Truly beautiful! My I ask how it died and how old it was? Moving big fishes isn’t easy especially ones that jumps.

I had to move home and I took it to my local fish shop where I knew one of the workers kept large fish like this so I trusted him. He put it in with his puffer and apparently they got on ok but after a few months they started picking at each other so he had to give it to someone else who had a large tank with 2 other Asian arowana in, not long after this the 2 aros in the tank killed him. I was truly gutted when I was told

I had him for 3 years almost 4 and after I moved he probably lasted another 8-10 months.

Sucks big time! Sorry for the loss bro! Man what took you so long to setup another tank, or you were just busy at the time. Something like that I can’t blame them/helpers for helping out but at the same time I would be kicking myself in the effen Ass!

For example I just lost my L600 that i grew out from 1” to about 4”, I put it in a bigger tank just to have it died in few days. It was my fault for leaving the power head off at night and he went in it.

When I moved I didn’t have the space for my large 8 foot ( and still don’t ) but I’m currently sorting out my garden and installing a shed which is going to be my new fish shed

I currently have a 180 litre with some small cichlids in and when I set it up it brought home how much I miss my large American cichlids and Aro

and yes I was so gutted when I was told he had died but trust me I went over everything that could have been done but where I was moving there was noway I could have took my monster tank.

I do kick myself lol
