New Rtg Arowana

[mark7616]

Well sadly the red aro didnt make it and died. It would of been the stress of moving that would of done it. So I picked myself up today a new RTG this one has a good shine on it and I love its shape has some tail damage from the last person who owned it but seems to be growing back ok will need trimming up when its fully grown back. Here are a few pics:

IMO arowanas are the best freshwater fish on earth. They truely are monsters in aquarium trade. Great looking fish.

lovely fish shame about the last one

what do you mean about trimming Mark? do you trim the fins?

 

[mark7616]

yes take the fish out and trim its fins back into shape using a very sharp pair of scissors.

Is this normal practise or what? Seems very harsh to me?

Its a trick picked up by asian keepers, statistics say only 60% of the fish die from the procedure, thats classed as a success

that statistic cant be correct
