what other good deeds are you going to do today help and old lady accross the road

how many fish have died on me or got killed in my tank over the last few years eeerrm let me think NONE

i had a aro that was getting beat up bad last week and as much as i liked it i thought it in the best intrest of the fish to sell it which i did

you are jokers with your holyer than thou approach to fishkeeping

Oh dear this is pathetic, of course he's going to look after it you just selected a part of his post and twisted it to look like he's bad. Look above that part and he says that he's giving it a go, therefore trying to keep it alive.

The fact that it was a gift does make a difference because when a fish cost multiple hundreds or even thousand of £/$ then losing that much money does play a big part and so influences what risks you take. A 50p guppy has more sentimental value than anything else, but with very expensive fish it could go the other way.

Let's face it, this fish is in the best hands with T1K so quit trying to make an argument out of nothing.

Anyway, that's a stunning fish you've got there T1K, and looks really cool from the vids as well, do they 'naturally' eat off the bottom more than the true aros?

Tbh, i value the life of my £80 snake just as much as i value the life of my free mice, or my £1 shrimp.

yet another arowana argument, this brings back memories!!

but this one is better looking then yours.

Are you really that ignorant that you cant see what you posted was essentially wrong? It has nothing to do with how many have died, how many you keep, what you keep, how much you paid for anything. It was your poor use of the English language that made more than one person mis interpret what you had said.

yet again you look for one thing i say to jump on me im begining to think you fancy me or something

you know my english is bad lets face it the WHOLE world knows my english is bad maybe i was taking care of fish when you were at school

you need to forget about me and get on with your own life mate

uhm....time to up the dosage i think!



I have no idea where you get these statements from...not at any point did i say your fish keeping was bad, what i did say (as previosuly mentioned) was that your statement "its a gift anyway so no loss if it goes wrong" implied/insinuated that if it did get beaten up, injured that it wouldnt matter as it cost you nothing.

Now that statement is not something anyone should say imo. Also you then began to go off on a random tangent about wild fish being eaten etc...which again is rather odd but never the less, my point was about the above statement nothing else.

so "mate" i would suggest (again as previously mentioned) you should read over your posts and others prior to opening your mouth and letting your belly rumble

Just becuase you have loads of cash and a huge tank doesnt mean you know it all and that you can't make mistakes, or stupid comments.

and on that note im backing out as you obviously cant realise what you origianlly put was easily misconstrued.

your whole big MASSIVE debate hear seams to be focused on ONE statement i made like you were just waiting for me to say something you could jump on

i better be careful i may say something silly like i own a JAPANESE style tank and you may go crying to the mods again to get me band

tell you what you stay out of my threads and i will stay out of yours i cant be no fairer than that

Sigh,

I mentioned "1", "one" thing which others also did, (that would be more than one person) so this massive debate as you call it has been created by you. If you could keep your points toward one sensible string of thought you wouldnt have random babble in each of your posts and this wouldn't have become your very own "MASSIVE" debate.

If you had a shred of common sense all you need to have stated in your first reply was "sorry what i meant was......if it goes wrong i have a spare tank" and the job would have been done...but no as per usual with a thread which contains you, you go off in all directions, babbling about you being a new fishkeeper and knowing nothing etc....

On a side note.

When you started PM'ing me on another forum about a thread on this forum I told you then, what im going to tell you now. Your "JAP" tank as you called it was obviously found offensive by someone else as it was not me that reported you.


So might i suggest that you take a MASSIVE DOSE of your own advise and grow up.

why would i want to tell lies saying i have another tank when i dont

yeh again i ask you TO STAY OUT OF MY THREADS AND I WILL STAY OUT OF YOURS

nice aro mate have you got it eating anything
what did the previous owner have it on?

when it was in germany last week they said it was eatting prawn and pellets

its very active swims at all levels no problems with the other aros if anything the asians aros are scared of it

Do africans swim around all levels more than asian aros then? In one of those videos one was feeding off the bottom which was quite cool.

nice fish TK1

just been readind up about them here:
african aro

yeh they are more active and swim at the bottom alot digging in the gravel for food




i have read that theirs alot of good info their


african aros are ment to be real hard to get feeding the best i can do is offer it plenty of foods this is the main reason i wanted 1 at 12inch + as they are ment to be much stronger

i will try to take a video later
