My silver arowana in 4500 gal

Puerto Rican frogs, cuban anoles, Carolina roaches & pan-tropical house gecko are a mainstay to arowana grow-out, and good excuse to roam the yard with flashlight after supper. I consider it a re-wilding exercise & part of my conservationists' duties & have found that by the time a wee aro is getting a little size, the balance of my yard has swung back to native species - somewhat quieter, but much prettier & more diverse. Maybe soon time for a next baby aro cohort & new/better flashlight ;)

PS: a hungry botia pack on a drown gecko is quite yucky to watch... bag-o-bones within a few minutes, as they can't deal with skin.
PSS: thoughts on feeding cracked yard-snails (invasive Cuban)? Nobody seems to like them, not even the eels & loaches. Apparently they're good with garlic butter... :)
 
Sounds like fun!

No clue. If a 30 minute google reading is not fruitful, maybe the query for a wider audience?
 
Thank you. We have been aiming and working towards opening as a small DIY Public Aquarium and Rescue. The feed is around $300 a month so far (buying wholesale). The killer is the electricity at $1500 a month - can't buy wholesale this one...

Flap, the only male, is the same 3 feet he has been for the past several years. Looks like he will stay that size and never reach the size of late Alf and late Fre of 40"-42". The three females Hsieha, Ylana, and Bikerina have grown some, look between 2.5 and 3 feet.
