New Asian Arowana

Pretty difficult to catch an aro, depends greatly on the mood of the fish. If fish doesnt jump your lucky....just take care of plastic bag, better have 2-3 more ready.
They are damn strong!

Open top tank, Deep large net in both hands, one to try to catch it in the tank, the one in the other hand to try to catch it mid air before it hits the floor.

I have to deliver it to the guy tmrw, so I would be catching it tmrw. Should I lower the tank water level?

Absolutely. I can tell you based on experience of having to move a tank full of fish 3 times that the lower the water level the better. Less space to escape the net increases your chances dramatically.

The time I knew nothing about fish tank sizes and fishkeeping in general, 55g with a stingray, silver arowana, 2 bichirs and Florida gar

thought I’d share

Bugger is gone today ?. May have been a total pain in the ass killing hundred dollars worth of fish, but will forever miss it

probably my last post on this thread

Maybe as a centrepiece I’ll stay away from arowanas for now, Maybe I go for mono peacocks? I like the look of them.

can I possibly try TATF or VATF? I can make some money out of it if it grows too big, so I can sell
