haha very funny CFC but the thing is 5 inches and has a 125 gallon tank awaiting him, so ask questions before you make a comment like that

Right well... you kinda just made a "comment" like that to someone who had no experience with the species never mind no fish keeping experience. Just thought point that out...


As for the Arowanas... I would take them back, unsless you plan on buying a massive tank and just keeping one. Hope you do okay with them.

Are you going to take your own advise and take the one in your 38g back as well or do you have a 300 gallon tank waiting to move it into?

but he did ask a question. ok, so maybe it was a rather snarky and sarcastic question, but it was still a question.

Hi I just got a pair of BABY arowanas from the pet store because it seem like a pretty good deal. Im new to this and something went WRONG! They keep attacking each other!!! I AM VERY VERY NEW TO THIS STUFF and to this site.


- They were both from the same tank when i got them and the tank they were in were about 10 gallons of water.

- They should be brother or sisters cause there were about 10 in the tank.

- My tank has EVERYTHING from the tank i got them from.

- My tank has that ABOUT the same stats of the tank they were from.

WHATS the problem???!!!
Please comment and give tips on how to resolve this.

You should probably take them back where you got them .

i would take them back!itl save you alot of time and effort and the fish will be much happier,in the 10 gallon they will proberbly die or be stunted.As newbies(which i am!!)we all make mistakes..but hopefully if you take them back or find them a good home you can find fish that are suitable for your tank,if you are unsure please please ask one of us here and we will tell you and save you from more mistakes!Never go into a shop and buy any fish without resercing it first or you never know what monster youll have on your hands in a years time.and dont trust LFS employees no matter how knowledgeble they seem always try to get a second opinion!GOOD LUCK heres an idea just how big they get!
