I Finally Found One

[Gill]

So i finally found a Tiny Silver Arow for 20GBP.
I was feeling like crap and went home to take my meds. Dad thought he'd cheer me up when I woke up and said 'I'll take you to the Out of town LFS nr Rugby'

so after looking around in World of Water LongLawford, i spotted a tiny badge saying silver arowana for 20GBP. didn't see any and carried on looking at fish.
I was walking back to the counter when i spotted something flash by. Bent down to take a closer look and found a tiny arow in the tank with Dats.

Asked the staff what is has been eating - great i already have that ready for it.

Got him home and after acclimating he/she ate some blood worm.

Starved him for 2 days and then he wolfed down down pellets.

I haven't got any decent pix of it ATM as he/she scarpers under the cover of the Amazon Frobit when i come close the the tank. he's small enough to hide in the roots. <10CM

he/she is eating really well and chases the pellets around the tank at feeding time.



All the small fish have been moved to another tank. His/Her tankmates are the Pearl Gouramis and Fighters. Its scared of the fighter who is 1/3 his/her size.

How small is the arrow? Smallest I have ever seen was 3-4". But congrats on the find!

Yep, I have started the search for a larger tank.
Just wish i had bought the Display Tanks when Aquatic Fanatics Closed Down.
5by5 Square and 2.5 deep for under 150GBP.
