Hello folks,

I have a new surprise :D

Woke up this morning to see my big male Arowana holding eggs in his mouth. Totally dumbfounded by this event. The normal myth is Aros don't breed in com setups and home aquaria. And even that Aros need to be atleast 4yrs old.
Now whether I am able to get all the babies or strip him is another question. Time to do a lil unexpected research :D

Any help from the experts here would be much appreciated.

Enjoy the video... The orange thing you see in the mouth are the eggs ;)

People strip them to get all the babies. I would have left it alone if it was in its own setup. But since this being a com setup and the cats always lurking around I don't think it is a best option if I want some babies out of them.

I think you have mislabled your setup. That is not what most people would consider a home aquarium, but a good sized pond. Congratulations!
