Another post on the family pet. Last year, Daddy trade in the one of the cheapo Arowana (we have 2) with this expensive RTG (Red Tail Gold) Arowana. It cost about RM1.2k. Whoaa…and the size is only like handphone length.
It has grown to quite a substantial length now one year later, matching the size of the other arowana (both swimming side by side, separated by the glass). This fella has a very beautiful blend of colour. Sometimes it looks pinkish (when we on the red neon lights). Sometimes, it gives that shimmery gold colour, with the perfect scales. Unlike the other cheapo Arowana, the colour a bit sucks LOL. What you pay what you get right :).
And 1 day, this fella got very aggresive. I suspect the maid forgot to feed it. It actually went and attacked the sucker fish!! It bit the fish by the tail and wouldn’t let go (see the smaller pic, the sucker fish hanging there). So fierce. But sucker fish being so hardy, didn’t give up too. The skin too thick for the arowana to penetrate. And his size a wee bit too big for the Arowana to swallow him alive.
The arowana infact let it go few times and bite it again, in the quest of swallowing it. We finally moved it to another tank and quickly fed the arowana with 2 frogs.
That’s a very expensive fish. Must really take good care eh? I have an uncle who loves this type of fish and he feeds them with crickets….???
aikes! eating their own species ah… haha. our fishes at home also like that… but ours lagi dahsyat… chase one another and bit off their eyes!!! so we have alot of ‘blind’ fishes at home!!!

I love arowana but my dad said it’s taking to much time to take care of them. We settled for guppies. I love lots of them as they breed so easily.
