I recently bought super red arowana online from reputable reseller in indonesia. It is directly imported from Kalimantan. Fish arrived yesterday and from my observation, it has good proportions of fins and tail. Color wise , it has good metallic color with blue base. This arowana have good red genes judging from the tail and lips red colorations. There is no protruding mouth, and eye looks normal.
I feed my new arowana the next day after it arrived. Diet consist of mealworms (gut-loaded with Jumbo Carnistick pellet). I planned on adding varieties of diet including cricket and superworm once it gets bigger.
For lighting, I use Mayin 2700k tanning lights. This light have high uva and uvb content which is good for the development of colorations. The low kelvins will not disturb and cause burning to the fish. I still havent bought viewing light as I planned to move my arowana into bigger tanks once it grows.
Water change will be done 90% every day with R0 water mix with minerals.
This thread will be used to keep tracks of my fish progress. Wish me luck on my raising/ grooming journeys.
