silver arowanas grow larger and longer but are not as colorful and graceful. asian arowanas are the shit. this guy is actually very aggressive, the other fish in the tank arent large enough for him to eat but he is boss of the tank and no one fucks with him. the other fish arnt exactly tiny either
i had a phoenix in the tank and he picked on him really bad, he took out an eye and i had to move the guy to another tank.
normally i feed this guy pellets and shrimp/prawn and i feed every day and i'll fast him for a few days with no food. i stay away from live food normally but i got these frogs from the guys i get my arowanas from. i've had this guy for 9 months now and he was 7" when i got him. hes doubled in size and growing about 3/4 an inch per month.
im going to need a bigger tank soon, hes sitting in a 135 gallon .. 6 x 1.5 x 2
heres a picture to show his color

What else do you have in the tank? I've tried pairing other fish with an asian arowana, but it didn't go so well....

hope you change your mind, aro's are wicked  | |

thats a beatiful fish you have. I used to have a black mask elongatus piranha myself and they were wicked to feed. the only downside was that it was the only fish i could have in the tank it didnt even get along with its own species. So i had a 90 gallon planted tank with just the one fish in it. so i sold him and just kept my 210 gallon salt water. But seeing this vid i might want to get an aro.

Dumb question but do koi and arowana get along or will the koi just get eaten alive?

thanks guys!
bcrukes: im not too sure on that, i would have to lean towards a "no" to be on the safe side because
both are surface swimming fish
koi would have to be substantially larger than the aro
koi pollute water alot
koi prefer colder water vs warmer for aro
