livingart Posted April 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Wow, the aro nearly makes that tank look small!! How hard was it to move him?? Not the sort of job i would want to do every day unless i was breeding them fast and strong, no matter how careful you are the fish will cop some damage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David R Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 no matter how careful you are the fish will cop some damage I was actually quite surprised at how placid my 20"+ black aro was to catch when I sold it. I drained the tank to half the normal level and pulled everything out, all the tankmates had already gone, I guess he figured his time had come. One scoop with the big koi net jansens loaned me and he was in the chilly bin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted April 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 good to take them out of tank if the fish knows you a different prospect after 4 or 5 hours in the bin and travelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livingart Posted May 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 the aros have taken to cruising together most of the time they occasionally circle each other at the end of the tank with the smaller one braking and then curling his body up with fins extended then circling again i don't know if it is trying to make itself look bigger or to attract the larger one the larger one nudges the other one out of the way every now and again but no biting has anyone seen a video of arowana breeding?
