feeding video.

Excerpt - Mozart Divertimento D.K. 136

I picked this music because the intensity of the violin complements the voracity of arowanas' as feeding frenzy. enjoy

Sweet. That's awesome... I love aros, pbass, plecos, and shovelnoses...Great choice

The first didn't work, but the second did. Awesome vid!!! I love the music 2. None of those fish could be very cheap, that must of cost a fortune...i remeber you said your first chili red aro was what, like $1,300 or something?

The plecos, p bass, severum and blood parrots are quite cheap. The tigrinus & arowanas are quite expensive, mainly due to their relative rarity. I don't want to keep too many setups and too many fish due to my busy schedule. I bought 10 asian arowanas at the same time. I have no arowana community experience prior to this batch and was quite scared that the community would not work out. Had I known that I would be successful in establishing a community tank on my first attempt, I would have gone with premium quality aros from VIP or N1wan. Too late for me to change now.

Hmmm. I suppose the plecos would of been inexpensive if you bought them young.

back - the bottom of the tank is finally covered



room light on, no flash



room light off, no flash





the tank is relatively peaceful. water parameters seem to have stabilized. arowanas are much bigger now than when they were moved in May. Xbacks are showing more 6th level development.
