Oh My God..

I have just been to a very good lfs near me, and they have baby arrowanas so young they still have their yolk sacs... sooooo cute ! he said they were imported but guess they cant be chipped or anything yet as they were only about 2 inches long !

 

[k.o.d]

They were probably silver arowana, they dont need to chipped, if you were lucky they are black arowana and if they are please tell me where you are
Buying an arowana with the yolk sac still attached is not a good bet, there is a lot of die off at a small size and you may be disappointed, it is best to get them at a size of 6" or above as they will be a lot more robust

So saying my silver was bought at around 3" and he is now approx 14" but he did take quite a while to start feeding properly.

oh my tank is nowhere near big enough, couldn't believe they import such small babies, pretty sure they were silver - they were silver in colour and just labelled arowana amazing something so small get so big so fast !

My LFS is great they have: african butterfly fish, asian aros, silver aros, flag tails, loads of polypterus', pure strain endlers, hundreds of L no. plecs, elephant fish, badis badis, killifish, stingrays....

I'd say they probably have some good stuff at Britains Aquatic Superstore in Bolton, but I wouldn't want to risk the long journey since they don't keep a stocklist online.

This is from their website ' The tropical fish department is one of the biggest in England with over 400 stock tanks boasting some rare species imported by our experts. '
