The aro has landed

[Aquarian]

Yesterday afternoon went to Qian Hu to pick up my crossback with bro Snipery. Brought the fish back, put the whole plastic bag in the tank for half a n hour, then opended up the bag and check the pH, about 7.5, the water in my tank is about 7.8 so pretty close. Slowly add my tank water into the plastic bag, when the plastic bag is almost full, slowly release the fish into the tank. Ketapng leaves and cloured ping pong balls added into the tank before hand :) Filter media (bacteria house, biohome, mineral rocks, ceramic rings) had been recylced from my goldfish tank. Will monitor the ammonia level once feeding starts.

In order to make it stablise faster, I have used a piece of cloth to cover the front of the tank. No feeding for the time being. Size of fish is about 6in.

Any other advise is most welcome. Sorry no pic yet. :stick_out_tongue:

Hi there bro congrats on your new purchase. I would suggest that you do not cover the front of the tank with the cloth. This will make the fish very timid in future when you remove the cloth. Maybe you can just add in a little blackwater to stablise the aro.

[monster]

enter a new aro world.:big_smile:

[Aquarian]

thanks bro, I have decided to remove the cloth this morning, now swimming happily in the tea-O (ketapang leaves soup)

For xb i would advise not to keep in katapang leave water. For a start maybe use to calm the aro down but after first use change water slowly and try not to add in anymore. Keep your xb in clear water. It will aid the developement faster.

[heckel]

Wah bro where you collect from ah? I also wan to collect some leh.:stick_out_tongue:

[Aquarian]

ok, will do, thanks for the advise

there is a small ketapang tree in my office compound in Kallang, it is a young tree so the leaves are smaller than the one you will find at the road side

Video of my new arowana, sorry of the poor quality video

Any comments are most welcome (good or bad) :wink:

[Theo9902]

"My juvenile Crossback arowana"

We want more!!!!!!!!! Part two please.

BTW, may be you can move backward a bit when shooting your video. So that we can see the aro swimming in the 4-feet tank in FULL view. Just my 2 cents.

We are all learning. You have a nice piece of xb. Feed it more during the juv period and let it grow to the max potential. Once it hit 14-15'' then slow down. Cos young aros can really eat a lot.

[Aquarian]

Now this fellow is on forggie, will introduce other new food next like sw and mp. Last nite fed some bw to my rh and ngt, saw this fellow tasting and eating it too, seems like not very choosy with food :wink:

yesterday, try to com my 8in silver with my xback, observe for about 10 minutes, can see that the cross back is on the silvers back all all the times and as soon as he ascertain itself that the silver is no threat to him, he starts to wack the silver with open mouth attack, after about 10 min, i took out the silver :sad:

[Aquarian]

yesterday bro Troy came to my place to look at my crossback, he noticed that the tail is reddish and he said there might be a chance that it could be Tong Yan, any comment anyone? :wink:
