That is a very nice fish.

stunning to look at

and i bet its stunning to watch
 
thanks guys i think its great ive wanted one since my 2ft silver arowana died and i was lucky to find this on aquarist classified just a couple of miles from me :good:
 
ooh awsome
very nice arow
 
Omg its soo cute!!!! :hyper:

Can i steal it please? :good:

Im really glad you've found a new one as well as for a bargain price :)
Lets hope he settles in fine to your system and lives to be a magnificent fish!
 
thankyou xenon junkie
and no you can't steal it lol its mine hehe

well it seems to be very happy swimming about and eating very well :good: which is what we want
 
thats brilliant!
I'm glad them tail nips didnt cause it too much stress!
I know from experience at work that young arowanas are easy to kill from stress.
So i assume as with most fish the older they get the more sturdy they become :)
 
yeah it should grow out soon hopefully

its quite a chilled out fish it doesnt mind my hand in the tank with it it just swims round it but whan the bloke i got it off even went near his tank it tried to jump out and bite him lol it was soooo funny waching him trying to get it in a bag lol he was so scared if it lmao

haha, I love people in LFS's like that!
Proper make me giggle!
Infact im banned in a few LFS's near me as im too cheeky and mean to them if they're doing it wrong :p
Pets@Home in particular :p

I mean, when i was catching my Dendrochirus Brachypterus (fuzzy dwarf lion) a couple of years back
they're poisonous and i still was fine getting it out!
Just requires courage, a steady hand... and intellegence!!!
 
lol i ended up getting one of them out for someone once because non of the staff would get it out i caught it with my hand and put it in a bag evryone was p*****g there selves at the staff id really doesn't bother me all you need to do is what you said slow and steady lol
