what size tank is he in? lovely fish cane

Oh he has nice colors so far! I wish I could afford an arowana like him, but unfourtenetly I can't. Does he get along good with the gar? I remember reading that gars and arowanas are not good tankmates because they are both top swimming fish, I think you know what your doing though so I'm probably wrong.

the gar and aro get on fine now but when the aro grows up i doubt it will tolerate the gar but you never know

Nice new pics, looks more red on the tail now; may be something to do with the carrotine. I sware that hes grown, cirtanly in the body area anyway.
That gar is stunning too, is it 'just' a standard spotted?.

thanks
yeah its a spotted gar

what size tank is he in? lovely fish cane

i heard that if you feed all the mealworms and crickets with carrots then feed them to the aro the carrotine colours up the red.
probably rubbish but im trying it anyway

Nope thats true, I'ved always fed my super worms, locusts and crickets on carrot.

I believe HP does to for his aros too.

 

[T1KARMANN]

its true about the carrot

the best thing to feed the meal worms on is nutrafin spiralina flake and carrot

the leagle export size for asian aros is 6inch but they are normally 4-6inch when they arrie

try to stay away from crickets and locusts until the aro gets to say 10inch as i feel the shape legs are a bit to much of a risk for the aros gut at a small size

To me, in the first pics you posted, he only has a slight
red tinge on his fins, but the most recent pics he's alot
more deeper red
