very nice example! no they are not agro at all i found. mine ate too much meaty stuff though, died after having it for 4 years!

my previous posts i have one of the albino pleco - my last update 2 months ago.

haha im hoping that Hikari would! pet ware! calling petware!! no, no spirulina sponsorship. I am unsure of what the development is like compared to others, but i will post on a thread on arofantatics.com now,calling for photos of 15 month old red aros

want the hermits that get huge, that are more terristrial than under water, dont know much bout them but saw them forsale in australia and asia. you can get them replacement shells as they get bigger lol hikari actually makes hermit crab food as its so popular overseas!

haha, yeah, its crazy what you can buy overseas! in thailand, man i was drooling hard! felt sad we couldnt get some crazy stuff lol

hermit crabs would be awesome to have!

yeah agreed completely some would tan for so long, 24/7 - just not willing to put that sort of stress on the fish! some even tan when its tiny though the tanning process itself shouldnt and doesnt harm the fish as it is just m imicking sunlight in an outdoor pond but doing it all day with no night time at all is crazy

dunno essentially, it just gives more 'sunlight' into the tank, directly in to the water. time will tell, see how it goes. im building up from 4 hours, after 1 week, ill put up 1 to 2 hours every wek untill it reaches full cycle of 'lights on' and the tanning light is on all day. i wont do 24/7 like some keeper sin asia do, i think this may stress the fish. they need 'night' im sure.

AHh, i think this is in asia! can see the reflection on the glass, does not look like its in NZ Tricked me!! got me excited:D

armoured, never thought of it that way lol one day i hope to post an aro comm:D

what the!!?! where is that? in NZ?

yeah, GG currently is scared of the big guy lol the big guy has definite authority with no competition

one day:D when i get back from overseas, then i will do a 3600 litre monster com sick thing is, i already have the filtration sussed in my head!!! lol even tank layout:D and what stuff i will hve in it! not to mention stocking

Yeah, he has grown a lot, and getting thick! Colour is definitealy developing, it has developed massively in the last couple months and almost day to day the scales are getting lighter rims and sprawling orange to the scale base. Curious what the tanning does, if all accounts overseas are true, tanning should make a mighty difference!! after 6 months, i will replace the bulb and move into a proper reptile sun lamp, 10% uvb. excited!! i got the last of the 4 foot underwater tanning lights. its on the website. its made specifically for aros apparently but i believe its just a reptile style bulb with different colouration. https://www.arcadia-uk.info/product.php?pid=77&mid=10&lan=en⊂=&id=4 it actually is in the water in a waterproof casing. and this is the bulb https://www.arcadia-uk.info/product.php?pid=76&mid=10&lan=en⊂=&id=4 specs on on this site

Video on same photo session

I picked up this aro 20th May 2011. It was approx 26/27cms. From Imperial farm - VIP Red Arowana. Diet: I alternate all foods listed below, to never feed only one type MP stuffed with massivore Locust Gutloaded with spirulina Crickets gutloaded with spirulina Mealworms gutloaded with sweet potato and spirulina Goldfish gutloaded wtih hikari arowana sticks, loaded with spirulina Tank size: 1200Litres Filtration: Overkill I have taken pictures approximately every 2 months to chart progress for personal curiosity (I am obsessed) But i will post only the Oldest and Latest to chart progress and results. The last photo is the last photo before 'Tanning' and i started to tan the arowana the next day after the last photo is taken on the 25th Jan 2012. Right Side: 28 May 2011 25 Jan 2012 Left Side 28 May 2011 Latest tank mate L128 Blue Phantom Pleco Tanning Lights on Arcadia Tanning Lights (25 Jan 2012) General Photos that looked cool under white light 25 jan 2012

Arowanas, any large catfish like TSN or RTC probably second to arowanas, i would love freshwater rays

nice looking, quite cheap too

yeah, i agree just outlining the guys dimensions - to gie an example lol

looking to make or buy a rotating spray bar, the self propelled ones, i mean i know how to make the spray bar itself, holes opposing each other would spin the thing like a water sprinkler thats easy - but how do you attach it to the feed and spin freely? wherre can you get such a joint also, making it higher output, possible?

yeah would be cool, chiller needed though, but yeah, i reckon that would be cool!

this tank is 310L x 80W x 80H ..... and is very peacefull and plenty of room i think. another nice one

Albae wafers are designed for plecos and that type of fish, usually they are curved for the plecos mouth.

that picture look slike a scarlet or a cactus pleco. is it a variation of the cactus or the 'titanic' pleco that gets 2 foot?
