Coming along nicely!!! the foreground plant is stargrass?

**eggz** · 15th Nov 2002, 13:31

Hey Vinz, looks great. I wish I was the Aro!

Your dragon is about 1 and a 1/2 feet now?

What's the foreground plant in the middle? looks really lush

Very Nice!

I'm not into arowana's myself, but I must say I like your setup. Hehe, thats one happy fish

**juggler** · 15th Nov 2002, 14:49

Very nice, Vincent! Even if there are small fish inside, I am sure they can take cover in the thick bushes. Does the Aro gets bothered when you do trimming?

**jacian** · 15th Nov 2002, 15:12

I can only say that I am drooling over it....

Very nice !!

**chrissia** · 15th Nov 2002, 15:14

Very Nicely Done!!! Swee!!! Time to enter contest and bring glory to Singapore.

**hatchet** · 15th Nov 2002, 16:38

I inspired to keep aro also. Now have to physcho my wife by showing her your tank. Thanks for the sample.....heehee

**Allen_1971** · 15th Nov 2002, 16:45

btw vinz, how big is that tank? 8ft?

**tawauboy** · 15th Nov 2002, 21:43

180cm.
see Vinz's sig.

**Allen_1971** · 15th Nov 2002, 22:28

Hmmm missed his signature... but it sure looks bigger than a 180cm... mebbe cause I thought his aro was bigger

**vinz** · 15th Nov 2002, 23:26

Thanks guys...

HH, that's not stargrass... that's Echinodorus Quadricostatus.

Eggz, he's about 10 inches only.

Juggler, there are small fishes in there. 8 SAEs, 10 Otos and supposedly 100 Malayan shrimp. The fishes instinctively stay away from him and he's well-fed enough not to bother them. He's fine with me trimming the plants. Most times, he'll even come out to investigate.

See Bei Shui leh.....

Wish i have one in my house.....

Congrats...Good work and keep up.

Fantastic Vinz, power. The Arrowana looking big since the last time. The e.quad looking really big too. Man, I got to do something about my planted tank, still kind of slow.

**lance** · 17th Nov 2002, 12:08

was your arowana intimidated at first when you transferred him into the tank? i notice that arowanas like the presence of plants in where they live.

**vinz** · 18th Nov 2002, 02:57

He was quite ok when I first let him into the tank... didn't try to hide or anything like that. On the other hand this guy isn't a timid one. He was in a community tank at the LFS and he was terrorising the 3 other red arowanas there. Was told that Red Tail Golds are comparatively more aggressive.

You have info about arowana natural habitat?
