Altec Neutral Newbie September 14, 2009 Share September 14, 2009 for arowana, it is always good to start with a tank as big as possible, at least 5x2.5ft tank. this will save ur problem of transfering into a bigger tank in future. believe me, BIG BIG HEADACHE... dont frighten them lar I feel got 5 2 2 one arowana should be enough. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade777 5th Gear September 14, 2009 Share September 14, 2009 lol..thaxs for the replies...hmm...i bought liao...at batok blk 154 market.....200bucks....its a red tail gold....10inches long....25cm.....however before that i went to climenti...the shop sells alot aros...but all like injured due to mixed together one....not very impressive....sian....the price oso seems anyhow name one....aros over 1k in price also mixed wif other arowanas and the aros bite each other till injuried and some even dying...=.= is that how they sell people the aros for 1k each??.... wierd....lol Silver not bad. I like it when it grows big, look prehistoric. Anyway, RTG is still a better choice coz no point spending so much time and effort on a simple breed like those silver, pearl, black or green unless you favour them. RTG is good enough for dragon fish hobbyist if budget is tight. Good choice and some RTG is nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slonez Clutched September 14, 2009 Share September 14, 2009 For arrowana, minimum is RTG. Anything less is waste of time. Time & cost of keeping the fish the same for all breed, better keep something that look good/have value when they are fully grown. The lesser breed looks nice when young but looks awful when fully grown (no or very light color). These are my personal opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slonez Clutched September 15, 2009 Share September 15, 2009 I am no expert but I've kept arrowanas for quite a few years. I started out with YTG (translated from hokkien), then 1.5 then RTG then quite a few reds (different variants). I've seen most of the breeds when they reach adulthood so I can tell you anything less than RTG really CMI. Mature RTG is actually very nice, the scale resemble those old chinese coins. Red is my favorite esp the purple base one . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
