ally07 Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Face it, Henward.. If you name it a girl's name people will either say it sounds like a hooker or a game character. So why not name it something manly? Jonah Lomu or something lol! "...me love you long time!" :rotf: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruju Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 I prefer amusing names for fish, called my old aro Geoffrey, seemed appropriate. The name Marijuana comes to mind for arowanas, rhyming name for the win haha. If your naming it after a boat don't call it the rainbow warrior, could bring you bad luck too lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirt Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Haha if you name it after a boat you can call it Pumbaa. Like off the lion king Always had good luck catching fish off that boat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted May 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 i have opened pandoras box:D ok ok! i will think of a cool mean name. manly so i can regain my man points :happy2: God my tanning lights, jumbo carnitick, massivore today! i have also read that spirulina noticably brings out blue colours in fish. so i may do a mix of carnistick, massivore and spuirulina disc stuffed shrimp as well as silkworm pupa and locust dont nkow why, bit it excites me when i think of what to feed the fish! weird i am :rotf: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ally07 Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 dont nkow why, bit it excites me when i think of what to feed the fish! weird i am :rotf: You're not alone lol. I'm nearly constantly thinking of what to feed my fish to give them variety and nutrients. Every time I go to an LFS I always have a look at what food they sell just in case there's something new that I can feed lol. After all the trouble of getting my aro onto pellets, now I think I need to feed him more shrimp! I suspect that my reduced feeding of shrimp (now once a week) has made him much more aggro. He eats A LOT of pellets (about 20-30 in a day) but he has been systematically taking out my convicts. In the past 2 weeks or so, he has eaten both the females (very sneakily) and last night he kept me up with his splashing around. When I checked in the morning, he had taken out one of the males. He obviously didn't want to eat it (or couldn't), but he just kept going for him all night - didn't touch the other male. So either he's hungry for something meaty, or his hunting instinct is kicking in more now that he can't munch on the prawns. The other male is untouched, and he has never bothered my convicts in the past 5 months of co-existence. I can only guess that the difference was reduction of prawns. ...If he kills the ornate, you'll see a green aro on Trademe. :an!gry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
