Very infomative.thumbs up sir.
Glad it was helpful!. Thanks
thanks sir, very good explanation. You deserve more subs !
Thank you very much for watching.
I like the idea that you just used a simple light bulb and not those expensive tanning lights like cosmic etc... and yet your aro came out to be beautiful! Greetings from The Philippines! :-)
Thanks keep it simple . hehehe

@@intriguing1 hi Yes - you need to groom the fish in WTT till 12-15 inch to secure most of its golden head.
Such a beautiful creature 😍

Thanks and welcome
Thank you! This video is very informative 👌🏻

Great video! 👍
Thanks mate.
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Informative video.. I have a gig back golden..around 6 inch size. Do I need to tan? As of now I have blue background on 3 sides of aquarium with tube lights on 24x7..
Yes you need to do soft tanning ...if you use white background which reflects lights much efficiently. This is assist to bring up your scales shines and later after 12 inches you can change back ground.
Hi Bro, Thanks for the video. Valuable stuff. :)
Light placement, is it sufficient to use the Philips/or any brand LED Cool Light bulbs? Instead of CFL bulbs?
Thank you so much .👌👌
Hi bro I’ve got a golden crossback arowana from Malaysia. Its 9inch but it doesn’t have crossback scales yet. What kind of light should i buy to start soft tanning? Should i buy a house led tubelight of warm white color?
Hye there. Quite informative video. Thumbs up for your sir.
If possible can u make another video that explain about arowanas "CHU" and types. I really need information regarding that . Tqsm
Hi Azmi, Yes soon ill be doing video abt that and how to identify highback arowana and others.
hi... may i know where to get the blue coloured layer that you put in the tank?
Hi, I want to ask, how many watts the tornado bulb that u use
I brought 24k golden arowana which is around 8 inches. I am feeding pellets now its AR G-2. When to start tanning? And timing ? Can i use tica aro tanning light ?
Great information sir! Thanks
Welcome. Glad its usefull and tq for watching
@@TheSimpleAquarist can you share also your insights of soft and hard tanning in regard to super red arowana?
Yes sure.I'll just briefly explain to you even for super red initial soft tanning would be very helpful but once it reaches around 10 to 12 inches you can start hard tanning all the way.
@@TheSimpleAquarist thanks, but what does hard tanning mean? I always hear that phrase but no one explains what it means, what lights will be used for what time duration and period. It seems that everyone is trying ti hide thus big secret except you and I am quite thankful for every bit of information....
Hard tanning is actually using light that emittes uva and uvb just light sunlight. Tq very much for the kind words... I believe that every arowana keepers or future keepers should know this grooming methods because it is essential for the upbringing of the golden or red arowana.
Good day sir.. appreciate your information you given to us. May I ask if green arowana can do the same grooming as you do. Thanks..
Hi Edward, Green arowana do not need tanning. You can just get those LED RGB light and enjoy your fish.
Hello... great video....i just purchased RTG 6 inch ( quin hu farm ) does it need tanning now.....or from what size should i give hard tanning?
RTF do not need tanning - just get a nice LED light and enjoy your fish.
For white tank treatment, how many hours a day we should turn on the lights.?
Pls guide
Thanks Sir for the great informative video. Can I check with you to groom the crossback & golden head, must we use fluorescent bulb/T8 or any bright LED bulb/T8 6500k is sufficient?
For soft tanning you can use any bright white lights.
is this effective on SRs, if not can you suggest tanning guidelines for SR. thanks
Terbaik boss
Terima kasih
Very informative video, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. I am getting a 12" gold xb that is fully crossed from farm, it was kept in WTT and soft tanned. Do I need to keep WTT and soft tanning till the fish is 15-16" to ensure the 6th level shine stays? Or is it ok to put in a normal aquarium already? I am worried about the 6th level shine disappearing.
Just to be safe I'd say keep the fish in white background and continue normal lighting hours until the fish reaches 15 inches. This is to ensure the top scales not to blacken out once transferred into a darker background.
@@TheSimpleAquarist thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I am going to start prepping my tank tomorrow for WTT and soft tanning.
Welcome all the best
Oh no.. in that case, i have to invest for a bigger WTT.. bought a normal puaka tong which could have the fish soft to med tan up to 10 or 11".. if 15" is the safest bet, sigh.. not ideal for me since im living in an apartment.. all i have now is to ask for a miracle.. Haha..
@@hafizighazali9360 my mgbb is 12" can i still put it inside tong puaka? My mgbb lvl 5 and six scale is bot shining...and its chu only half of them are shining...
Hi bro. Thanks for the video. Beautiful fish 😍😍😍
I have a 4ft tank, partitioned into 2 sections, 1 for my MGBB (9-10 inch) and another for lampam and Bala sharks. I keep MGBB in 2.5ft section at 9 inches of water level and use 2 led downlights (6500k) and 1 Tica Aro-10 on the side. At daytime, i turn on all three lights, at nighttime i turn on only the top 2 led lights. I give 1-2 hours break intervals by turning off all lights. This is my first week of the setup and fish is doing fine with no signs of stress/good appetite. I do 30-50% WC twice a week. The shine level is at 4.5-5. The goal is to fully cross the MGBB.
What would you say about the setup/tanning surface area/fish movement at 2.5ft length tank section/effectiveness of this setup?
Your response is highly anticipated and valued. Thanks and cheers 😊
Hi sorry for the late reply... Yes your setup is fine. keep tanning until your fish reaches 12 inch then your can start Black tank treatment.
@@TheSimpleAquarist Noted with thanks
Boss so just use normal white light will do?
fuuyoo... superb cross bang
tq
Blue back cross back arowana - How many inches before you should start the tanning process and for how long? Leave the lights on for how many hours? Do you transfer immediately to dark tanning immediately after white tanning? For dark tanning, its full pitch black? For how long also?. I know its a lot of question but appreciate your guidance. Thanks
sir,
1. is that a submersible light in the tank?
2. what is it for?
3. during soft tanning, do you turn the submersible on together with the tornado bulb or you turn it on when the tornado bulb is off?
1. - Yes that a submersible hard tanning light
2. I used around 2-4 weeks to hard my gold arowana(but usually golden arowana no need hard tanning) to bring out the base color.
3. During soft tanning i only ran soft tanning light(around 1.5 years till the fish reached 15 inches)...after done with soft tanning i ran around 2-4 weeks hard tanning light.
Hi bos,right now im using both tornado n kintons tanning light both i put it on top.my question is should i place the kintons light in front of the tank or leave it on top?
For can leave it on the top should be fine.
Bos memang u the best I baru paham mcm mana nak tuning soft.
Bos I bela RTG size baru 6inci tank size 500mmx300mm saya I cover dgn sticker gold dan lampu saya pakai warna putih brand TICA.
Soalan saya 1: adakah saya kena tukar sticker gold kepada putih utk tengok warna ikan saya .
2: mcm nak simpan air yg jernih(crystal)
3.kwn2 saya bagi info kalau bagi makan lipat adakah colour sisik dia naik lagi cantik(tapi sampai sekarang I tak bagi)
Bossku minta tolong reply soalan yg diatas. .terima kasih. .navin penang
1. Ikan hiback atau rtg take payah tanning sebab sisik tak akan cross atau naik lebih level 5. Hiback no need tanning.
2. Untuk air clear tengok video nitrogen cycle... Kalau filter dah matang air akan clear Dan make sure filter media cukup.
3. Yes lipan makanan fav tetapi tak feed pun OK. Bagi lipas dubia atau cengkerik pun OK.
Thanks for the sharing bro. I have 2 questions.
1. I have a MGPB (purple base). Its about 9 inch. Do i use purple or blue board (corrugated board)?
2. How do you get your board to stick at the bottom of your tank?
Thanks bro. Really hope you could help.
1. use blue 2. you can use aquarium divider clips with sucker.
What background color should i use for bluebase highback arowana
If your arowana is below 10 inches you can use white or blue backgroun. If it's bigger stick with blue or black.
Just bought malaysian gxb bout 7inch.....when is d best time for grooming n tanning? I hv bought led light but i find d fish a but stress when its on...any advise?
7 inch you can start grooming them already. Yeah if it new you need to slowly introduce lighting to them...will take few days to couple of weeks for them to get acclimated. Leave aquarium lights off feww days then slowly starts.
Why there is a blue mat on the bottom any reason?
Can use 2 tanning light for my 5inch aro , tica aro 10 + aquanice x2 pro + 2 24Watt tornado bulb - that consider hard or soft tanning?
For 5 inch arowana use 1 light enough -- no need use tica aro 10 yet after 8 inch baru start.
Hey .. great videos and thumps up for the Channel.. am planning to get a 6" Red Tail Golden highback arowana, does RTG needs tanning ?? And which background will be better to improve the coloration?? Thanks in advance 😊
Hi Vijay, RTG doesnt need tanning. Yes for RTG blackback ground will assist with the coloration.
@@TheSimpleAquarist thanks again. Was going through all your videos. informative and simple to understand. Appreciate that.
Just one more doubt, am planning to give hikari arowana sticks as primary diet and rest all as and when required. Can u pls suggest some other methods to improve the color and health in overall for Asian arowana, or maybe you can help us all by making a video 😊
@@vijayanands91 Hi thanks for watching. Yes, Hikari sticks as primary diet is good as it has complete nutrition in it. Yeah, thanks for the idea ill try to work something out soon.
Hi bro i have a MBB aro planned to do tanning but is it recommended with their tank mate in the aquarium ?
best tank mate is stingray because they wont be invading arowana's swimming space but there are many other btm dwellers you can look into.
Evening. I like this video very much. I noticed the blue bottom inside your white fiberglass tank. Is it there for a reason in the soft tanning process?
Yes , there are 2 reason i used blue bottom for this tanning tanks....1. Main reason to avoid light reflecting to the fish from below (this might irritate the fish because in nature light is mostly from top or side depending on the angle of the sun. 2. Blue/btm btm help with the base color of this particular arowana is the bluebase.
@@TheSimpleAquarist thanks for the reply. Very informative indeed.
Welcome. Happy fishkeeping
Hi bro can I know I just both mgbb 5 inch so my tank background is blue it's ok or need to change to white background? Please advise thanks
Change to white would be better.
Does tanning effect high back arowana?
Do i need to soft tanning my (SHBRTG) super high back red tail golden arowana? Because they say that SHBRTG shine level can reach up to 6th level. Thank you
Well, it if surely a SHB - there is no need to soft tan but yes it will help a bit to develop the shine sometimes to level 6.
Hello friend. My gold cross back was gold on the top when I bought it and now it’s totally darker. I am trying your grooming techniques. Hopefully I might get my gold back in the top section.
hi , Ok First you need to place the fish in a white background tank and add few white led lights. In time if your fish is smaller than 12 inches it will get those golden scales back.
@@TheSimpleAquarist send me ur email I’d, I’ll send photos of my set up. So u can suggest me if u have any tips. Thanks
@@MrDerken8 Hi deepan, please refer at about tab on my channel page.
Your video’s really informative.However I have bought TY and how can I groom it ? Should I put him in the white aquarium with white light to get the shine.Otherwise please advices..
Thank you very much . Yes for tongyan arowana you need to groom it as you would groom a MG. WHite back ground with white light.
@@TheSimpleAquarist ..Thanks for reply, how long do you recommend me to do the soft tanning and if i ON the light for 24hrs,i believe my water will change to green. How should i avoid this to happened ?
@@tnshowandgaming1603 For the start try few hour and see if the fish is fine then gradually increase if you see the fish is not stressed. For green water you can use UV light to eliminate them but as your filtration matures it will go away on it own later (then you can turn off UV light). Also monitor water parameters if your tank is new.
@@TheSimpleAquarist .. appreciate your reply.
In black tank treatment do you use lights or no?
100% dark only on during feeding.
Hi bro. When can I put the blue carpet in tank? Is there any specific time when aro reach certain length?
Yes , i placed the blue layer only when I get the scale shine results that I want .
For Super Red Arowana is preferred white tank or black?
For red Arowana white tank tanning if you prefer those metallic-based RED or black tank for the deep base color. Personally, I prefer a white tank.
Bro i have brought 7-8" HBG arowana. Can i use led light to groom the fish? If yes, how many watts it should be?
Hiback arowana do not need grooming. Better just put in black tank and bring out the base color.
Did you monitor the temperature sir? Mine have same set up and it reach up to 34 deg celcius. I already have some wave maker and 3 aeration including the filter outlet. Any idea how to reduce it?
yes, I monitor my temp 24/7, don't allow your temp to reach that high, you can add a ventilation fan to reduce the temperature. 34c for too long can make your fish sick.
Alright will do. Thanks for the insight sir! Liked and subbed. @@TheSimpleAquarist
@@NOETICS.. Thanks alot
Dear sir , My Hb gold just 5inch, should i start the wtt or let it become bigger first
well for HB its not mandatory to wtt but if you wanna try you can. Yes at 5 inch you can start .
What’s up bud, why is it you don’t groom or tan highback? Is there a reason why? Thank you good video
Hey tony,
Well usually this initial tanning is to bring up the shine on the scale but for hiback no matter what you do you cant change that, so thats why ppl dont soft tan hiback but hard tanning many ppl do it. Hard tanning ill share in my other video. Basically its to increase the intensity of gold color.
Nice sir, very informative and you made it clear and simple. May I know do you give any vitamin to your arowana on wtt?
Thank you very much, Nope i did not give any vitamins because i was doing big water changes 60 -80% weekly.
@@TheSimpleAquarist ok noted, appreciate your reply. Will wait for your next video about arowana.
Hi bro, HB 4 inch need to put in black tank treatment ?
If you want can-it will make color nicer.
Nice info. What is the fish current size?
Thanks, the fish is currently around 15 inches...and its ready for my main tank.
What about the water pump?can you show the setup and review vlog?please Sir,I need to learn
Also the cost
Where u using that light from the beginning?
Yes, those were the light I used throughout the grooming session.
Does tanning light for bout 5 inch arowana must contain uva or uvb?
Nope - regular white light is fine .. UVA and UVB might cause more damage.
hi... thanks for the video, its informative..... i have a question, do we actually use 2700k or 6500k philips tornado?
i'm having a Malaysian Golden Blue Base Arowana.... thanks....
because this is soft tanning the spectrum don't really matter as long as its bright. Id go with 6500k.
Thank u so much 😊🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hi bro. During tanning process for MG arowanas, the base has to be in blue?
Most malaysian golden arowana base are usually blue and there others such as green and gold but very rare. So I choose blue color mainly just to enhance the base color of the fish and also to reduce light reflection some the btm ( this willll help to reduce stress during tanning process).
Hi sir. How long will this wtt takes? I'm now using a roxin 20w submersible light, can I use that light and put on the top
Hi , usually wtt should be done until fish reach around 12-15 inches. Yes you can use any bright white light.
@@TheSimpleAquarist Thank you
I notice inside your FGT you use blue base as a base colour any reason for it ?
Reduce light reflection and bring out base color of fish
Hi bro, thank you for your nice video and beautiful fish
I’m beginner keeping arowana. I just brought a high back few days back about 4-5inch. I heard that if is lucky enough it might cross. Do you have advice since the fish is still small wondering is there something I can do to maximise my fish potential.
Currently living in a community tank.
With 2 bichir,1 polyterus bichir,1 luohan,1 kong ming (paroon shark) and 1 tiger fish. People told me is too crowded for my arowana as he is still new to environment and small seize.
Thank you hope to hear from your experience advise soon! 🙏🏼
Hi , Firstly 100% a highback will never cross or get chu (unless seller mistakenly given you an MG). So grooming HB is not so much but you could do black tank treatment to enhance the base color. Other than that maintain regular water changes, good food and most importantly enjoy the hobby. Happy fish keeping but remember keep it simple.
Thank you for your reply🙏🏼
Can you recommend me some food are good to give small arowana. Currently Im feeding him just food sticks is it good enough nutritious for my fish?
@@wil6477 you can try arg1 for growth choose small pellets.
@@TheSimpleAquarist he doesn’t like to eat the pellet I feed now. Every time he just bite a bit and spit it out.. He have not been eating for coming to two weeks.
Hi seniors help me .
I don't know why my premium 24k golden arowana loosing his top scale gold colour one by one. Im using syska t5 6500kelvin 2 feet 3 tube light 24/7. And doing 20% water change 3days once with full RO water. Im feeding hikari sticks and ARG-2 pellets. Im very much confused expert please suggest me what im doing wrong. How can i bring back the colour again😔
Hi bro. good info, but i would like to add that if the fish genetics is good, it will eventually cross even without tanning. For super reds its the same, if the genetics is good, it will become red, only thing is when will the red come out.
Just my 2 cents. Cheers
Very true, why we usually tan is to achieve the full potential in lesser time. I believe grooming is a vital part of every Arowana keeper.
Great vid!! Can you explain why the bottom of the tub is blue? Does it have any effects?
Thanks. To reduce light reflection and to encourage base development on the fish.
Bro your aro is really beautiful! from what farm did he came from?
@@noel2801 I got it from a friend ,so not sure

Can i do this on 2.5ft tank ? Should i use same light like you use or any other lamp ?
Hi , Ok you can use any bright white light doesnt matter. 2.5ft white tank should be fine.
@@TheSimpleAquarist thanks🙏🙏
@@TheSimpleAquarist should i add 2 lights? And place on both side opposite each other? Or 1 is already enough?
@@oakoat9302 Try 1 first see how your fish react, if ok then add another.
hello sir .. what size of your fibre glass tank.. ??
4x2.5x2.5 only
if use 6500k light can or not?
Yes for lite tanning works
Brother,Is grooming needed for yellow tail arowana
Yellow dont need grooming.
Any tips on tanning a tongyan aro at 5" ? Thanks 😁
Tongyan should be groom the same way as MG white tank treatment if he shows more the red genes then may be you can try hard tanning after 10 inches.
Hi bro if my arowana scale drop should I continue tanning or stop?
Yes just continue will takes 2-6 months to recover
You mentioned you feel the fish is stressed. How can you tell?
Firstly thank you for watching and common sign is your arowana sits down in a corner not swimming ,another 1 would be jumping.
Have a good day
What is the ideal size to start tanning arowana?
Hi Zain , thanks for watching. Well for this initial tanning you can start as early as 4 inches.
Hi sir.. im new to arowana keeping. Izit normal 3-4 inch mgbb price is around 3-4 hundred rm? If yes, are you recommend me to buy that? Or what else is your suggestion for my first arowana budget below 1k.
Hi Asyraf, Firstly I would like to thank you for watching my video. Yes 3 -4-inch price for MGBB is around there... but I suggest you get a bigger fish around 7-10 inches if this would be your first fish. Arowanas are hardy fish, If you already have experience with other exotic fishes then no issues. For 1k you can easily get a bigger fish and a good quality fish in Malaysia, I suggest you search in FB Arowana group for sellers you might find a better deal.
How many watt bulbs your using?
25watts 3 of them was plenty.
Do you switch on lamp 24hr ?
Yes 24hr but i gradually increase from 2 hr a day until couple of weeks to make sure the fish get used to it.
Hai. Saya ada beberapa pertanyaan. Tuan bela mgbb ni dari size berapa? Dari awal dah golden head ke? Soalan last, boleh tak tuan buat video update pasal mgbb tuan? Terima kasih
Hi wan, Yes masa saya beli ikan saya dah 9 inch golden head tetapi tak penuh. Yeah saya akan buat video baru jika ada masa nanti.
Bro I got super red 9 inch.what background u prefer for it?I use yellow tanning light 2700k.any advice?
For me, the COLOR/ kelvin of the light doesn't really play a big role but the Spectrum needs to have uva and UVB rays in order to work properly. Choose a light that has those.
@@TheSimpleAquarist ok..understood..what about background sir?to improve coloration of super red on initial stage..quite confusing,
Yes early stages use white background. It will help with the scales shine that will later become red but remember all depending on genetics capability of your fish.

hi boss , able to chat more? i need some tips and how u groom blue base xb arowana?
find me on FB thesimpleaquarist
Hi, just got myself a 5mths old blue base cross back arowana, he is a 6 inches.. Sld i start soft tanning or wait till he is bigger? Don't want to stress him too much.. He also super skittish esp when i remove the tank lid always darting here and there, makes me worry that he will hurt himself.. Is there something i can do to improve on that..? I want him to look beautiful, just only learning abt tanning.. i have only a blue oyama at the back of the tank.. Sld i get more? I housing him in a 422 now, don't hv a spare tank but mgt get if necessary.. Also looking for a tank mate, currently he is all alone.. Hoping u can advise me on all those issues.. What do think abt those UV a/b tanning light tube? Is it necessary to do hard tanning? Heard it stress the fish alot, keep worrying that he wil get sick or injured, for fishes i know its pretty hard to recover from sickness or injury.. Thanks in advance!!
I suggest for MG start soft tanning first using bright white light (non UV) for few hours and gradually increase the duration. Once it reaches around 10-12 when you are satisfied with the scale shine then you can do hard tanning for enhancing color or the fish.
@@TheSimpleAquarist do u mean using high intensity UVa/b tanning light for hard tanning? I see that u also using a submersible tanning light in your white tub, is it necessary? Right now I'm only starting using a Philips tornado 12w day light for about 4hrs a day base on your advice.. would it also works the same using Led of the same brightness? My 6 inches xb got mostly dark scales on the back, hoping the tanning will turn them shinny.. Thanks again!!
@@edwin_chew tornado light is good for now.
Why tanning should low the water level? How if i just make it to full water level with white background. Is it effective??
water level doesnt effect tanning at all... but there are reason it does:
1. If tanning from side the fish will get full tanning from the light instead swimming below or above the light.
2. To avoid the fish jumping and hurting him self during tanning because it can stress the fish.
But make sure you have enough water volume and doesnt effect the parameter when you using low water level on a tank. Yes you can use white background and full water tan from top.
@@TheSimpleAquarist Thanks
A lot sir! So helpful.👌👍👏👏 GBU.
how about hard tanning for MG brother ?.
Does this work with hbrtg?
HB dont need tanning
Hi sir, im using spiral bulb OSRAM 21w white but i put in the top of the tank. Not inside the tank. Can it be good?
Yes you can use this light... Place it on top and as long as the tank is white so it reflects the light efficiently.
@@TheSimpleAquarist thanks sir...🙏🏻
Oh sir 1 more question, i have more spiral bulb. The warm one (827) and the white one (865) which i used in. Which one u think better for soft tanning golden arowana? Thanks again sir
You can use either 1 doesnt matter as long its bright and white... Warmer 1 is nicer and less harsh to the fish.
@@TheSimpleAquarist the other one 827 warm white, like orange color. Not bright white i think. I heard from a friend 827 bulb ussualy used to tanning arowana but most of all are super red arowana.
What do you think sir?
Arowana silver can tanning?
Silver do not need tanning.
We have recently bought a Super High Back Red Tail Golden Arowana (SHBRTG) at about 11-12 inches. Is tanning required on it or will it just develop its shiny gold scales as it ages? How can I maximize the level of gold it can reach on its scales?
Super hiback red tail wouldnt get full gold scales above level 4-5 and smaller scales what we call chu. So i suggest you just get a nice LED display light and enjoy your fish.
50 to 80% in every 3 days is too much!!! It may keep fish happy but not humans 😂 btw fantastic proven explanation😊
Hi sir. Good day. Can i put my silver arowana a light like that? How many watts? And what light?
Silver arowan doesnt need to be groom.. Just take care of diet and water change would be fine.

Is there any possibility for over tan? Which means the colour of the back becomes darker.
Yes by using Wrong tanning light you can darken the scales and also cause other health issues.
Sir but can bright lighting cause arowana have drop eye?
Yes to a degree but with good diet and floating food you can prevent it.
@@TheSimpleAquarist well I feed my arowana by hand and give him only fillets with no fat in them. But earlier I used a bright light on my aquarium, now I have dim my aquarium light. My Arowana doesn't have drop eye but seems one of the eye might become dropped eye...so trying to prevent it
