      The cycle wasnt the issue. They put her/him way to fast. They should've waited for the temperature in the bag was the same wit the tank & then slowly put in some of the tank water in the bag.

    What an End to a beautiful story.
    I also had the Australian Pearl Arowana few years ago. It was about 6-8 inches in size when I bought it. I raised until she was about 20-22 inches and suddenly one day it died without any obvious reason.
    I did realise the 4ft tank was not enough for her and was looking for a buyer who could keep her happy in a bigger aquarium but this did not happen.
    But keeping in Arowana is a very good hobby would encourage anyone who wants to keep one (or many :).
    One advise, get a 6-8 inches and then raise it.

    That was really sad because you can see how much the family loved those fish. You know a really good ending to this story would be to see this owner work towards starting a conservation farm that doesn't just supply arrowana for the industry but breeds them to be reintroduced into the wild in areas like that lake where they are going extinct and maybe name his business after "little red"..... Little Red Dragon Farm (or something like that).

    obviously may not have been shown, but I didn't see the fish acclimate to the new water, plus they put all the fish into the tanks with the water they travelled with. which would have sedative in the water, combined with with all the other fish added the same way with the same water (with sedative). id imagine that was the cause of the fish dying, they was still getting medicated?

    In the video, you can just happen to see those sedatives were polled directly on little red, that might be the reasons why she wasn't so resistant during the capturing, ultimately leading to her dead.

      Billy Corners doesn't really mater, it was a big tank, now if they would've left her in the tank with that, now that would be a problem. They should've temperature acclimate and then slowly started to put the tank water in the bag. That would've been way way better than what they did.

    thats what happens when you dont slowly acclimate a fish to the new water. you cant just throw him in and expect him to survive that. the shock most likley killed it. you would think a guy who has kept fish as long as him would know better than to just toss a fish into different water without acclimating it first.

    It's "stress" that causes this arowana to die. Fish can't handle stress well. They'll cease to eat and die gradually.

    I know how it feels to lose a fish, it sucks. I feel like a failure no matter what.

    One of the first things they always spoke about was the value of the fish, "how much is my Son's worth?" type of comment. If into the fish as a money-making project, that's fine. But, true devotees to the hobby are more interested in the fish's beauty.

    Eigentlich stammt der rote Arowana am Daumennagel nur aus Indonesien nämlich auf der Insel Kalimantan. In der Natur Malaysiens gibt es keinen roten Arowana..
