calculator Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Looking good, can't wait to see him grow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 currently fed twice a day, some days 3 times. like yesterday:D ate 3 times lol it will grow rapidly, as soon as it can, it will be transitioned onto massivore pellets - super food! I am also developing its ability to consume vast quantities of food by feeding multiples times during the day and keeping it always full.

wee2 Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 how could you get him out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 how could you get him out if you mean catching him to get him out. well, at this size, impossible, there is no catching him, he is there to stay! when bigger, its easy - but at this size, there is no catching him and i dont intend on doing so. the arowana is ignoring a similar sized texas, tinfoil and red severeum i suspect that when these grow with brutus, he will get used to them as they grow. but the introduction of big fish, is trouble. he sees them straight away and attacks them. he leaves all bottom dwellers alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godly3vil Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Get rid of the parrots and get a real fish like some Oscars or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Get rid of the parrots and get a real fish like some Oscars or something. Haha, I like the parrots, also the wife loves them. but, Oscars cant cut it in the tank. the aro tries to kill them - not just a nip here and there to tell them to move away but the aro will actually swim under a rock and drift wood to bite them its bizzare. also the jag so had to get rid of my 3 large Oscars and 1 jag. small fish it doesn't bother, parrots it doesn't bother, silver dollars are ok. silver shark... marginal, we will see in a months time. bottom dwellers are definitely safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
