Crazy deal

Sweet!
How big's your tank?
I'll be able to tell you when you'll need to upgrade!
Truely an awesome fish! I love em!

I'd suggest starting the training now to get him off live foods or you'll go broke!

he is alone in 100 i was gonna use for oscars but i decided to just put him in there

Great place for him to grow up! I'd say in about a year you'll need to upgrade to a wider tank. If you could find something with the foot print of 3'x8' you'd be able to keep him for life! That's a minimum of course, always go as big as you can! He can have tank mates but becareful to choose tank mates that will not stress the little guy, calm cool collective tank mates are best.

If you like oscars I'd suggest something along the lines of a chocolate cichlid as a tank mate or uarus. Both get big but are docile. It's important for the aro to be the ruler of the tank, or atleast he needs to think he's the ruler of the tank :lol:

Keep us posted!

what do you recomend for food for him

can i just use the cichlid gold that i have?

Another one of my dream fishes. One day when I have a fish house behind my house(also in the future) with a tank as big or bigger than yours TFG, I will have one of these guys. I've been intrigued by them since I was a kid and the local Asian cuisine place back home had one. I'd never seen the juvie form in person until the Petco next door to my workplace got one in last week and it made me want one even more. To know taht someone that small will get that huge and graceful is just really cool.

Nice fish, and congrats on the great deal!

That is cool, TFG!
I once had a piece in a python cage that looked like a gargoyle, but only noticeable from a certain angle.

Cute Arrow fry.
