Swimming with dragons : Multi-Million Dollar Fish Farm | Witness
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 чер 2014
- The highly sought-after Malaysian golden arowana fish has disappeared from the wild. Yet today in Malaysia, buying and selling of the arowana, also known as the ornamental dragon fish, has become a multi-million dollar industry.
Over a decade ago, filmmaker Chew Han Tah learned of the dwindling number of wild arowana, and an obsession was born, much to the chagrin of his wife. Chew is exploring the potentially lucrative business of breeding arowana and is in the midst of moving his family to a new home so that he can upgrade his aquarium for his $30,000 worth of fish.
In this very personal journey into the heart of Malaysia's flourishing fish business, we see what motivates collectors and investors, and what fuels Chew's dreams.

Better love story than twilight
I really respect and like this wonderful lady, who's full of positive energy and love. There should be more of this encouraging people!
Wife smiles even when addressing the annoyances...
She is such a sweetheart.
What wonderful fish !
This guy was so passionate about this fish species that he proposed it be made into the national fish of his country. Respect, honestly.
The wife isn't crying for the fish,those are tears of joy she got rid of the side fish
Omg this comment is amazing.
Lmaooooooo
+Daniel Isabelle THIS IS THAT ALLAHU SNACK-BAR!!! CHANNEL.
You gave her the fish stick everyday
+Daniel Isabelle Tell me why I was thinking the same, like we know she's truly happy. Now shes ready for all the rest to die, lol.
I love that you shared this experience with the world. You have a beautiful home and family!
Amazing story! Such an inspiration!!
YOU WORTH IT!
Such a hardworker
May god bless all of your family
A lovely story. Arawanas are beautiful ,graceful, fish.Unfortunately the fish is to large for my tanks. This man has a passion for these and passion at anything usually means he is good at it. I salute him and his lovely family.
I really like this Video... Respect to you Mr. Chew..
It's such a beautiful documentary
Thanks for the upload.
still happy that young generation wants to keep fish
the guy who helped you move the fish killed little red, he poured the fish in the tank right away worh no acclimatization, and were those tanks even properly cycled?
Meh i dont think tank cycle was the issue..No acclimation and i think way too much clove oil..
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.
But no, they just *bloop* put her in.
Exactly
VIC!!!!
this legit made me cry. he loved lil red so much😭💓🐟
I legit cried when the kids was talking about little red at the end and was touching the tv ........... I'm still crying
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?
expensive fishes he had there but he opted for cheapest and easiest way to move his fish to the new environment.
Thanks for sharing your family's story
I love this and the story!
This has to be the best Arowana doc on the net, just a shame it has such a sad ending
amazing you did a great job very inspiring!
condolence sir. i once have an arowana and died 3 days later because she jumped. i forgot to cover the small whole on my aquarium. but i believe my sadness cant be compared to yours since you and little red shared memories for many years.
Absolutely beautiful fish. I love the way you take care.
great video, how arowana is so precious even im in love with them and own 2 silver arowanas at home myself and i hate to see anyone die and so i can relate to this adorable family especially the dad's heart and passion in saving these endangering species
great video!
So sad, You passion for these is very strong. You have beautiful tanks. Beautiful video, I enjoyed.
i have asian arowana also and its pretty bad to lose a lovely arowana, its not about what arowana you have, its about how you kept her, how you.give efforts and love...
happy fish keeping to all keepers
Beautiful family and really beautiful fish. Arowana its one of my favorite fish
You are great person you live for your hobby, i really appreciate your love towards Arowana. I m from India. i love Arowana.thank you sir you motivate me
I am so sorry to hear you lost Little Red, She was so beautiful, one of a Kind.
Beautiful documentary and arowanas...
This man give his life for Arowana.
My respect to him.
An Extraordinary doc, sure it's a lesson and an experience for lot of people. Cheers... for Lil RED
Great vid
I CANT WAIT FOR LENT!!!!
I see what you did there 😆
Sorry for your loss , i offer my deepest condolences .
Love the video, love the dragons even more, I could watch your video a dozen times and never get bored. Kudos my friend great job and awesome fish. I have 3silver arowanas and can't wait till some day have an Asian breed 🔥🔥🔥
Nice documentary.. and beautiful fish the chilli red. That guy is really passionate.
Excellent video, the Arrowana is one of my favourite fish. I hope one day to own one.
They live 50 years in the wild but only 10 in captivity? Wow that should tell you something
Thankyou for sharing your beautiful story about Arowana sir
Love watching this video a true arowana hobbyist
be strong bro..i know how it feels of loosing our favourite fish
Good story about Little Red. Wish you all the best in keeping arowana.
Awesome movie man love it
I really love ur passion for arowana
his hobby is at another level, I feel u sir, but the different is Im an aquatic turtle lover
Did he not climatized the fish before letting it into the new tank?
im more curious what was in the water bottle her poured in to sedate the fish
did you ever acclimate an arowna before?....its hard man its hard
Probably clove oil.
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.
How to do that ?? And why other fishes managed not this one??
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.
Best man! 👍💚
It was so emotional i cried😢😭😭😭
Great story
woow.terbaik bro...
I am planning to buy an silver Arowana. I prefer to keep Arowana in huge tanks single with good filteration , water changes very low daily, and healthy shrims and home made special food for Arowana.
great story
RIP little red. I never knew you, but i still miss you.
"After the documentary I made about how collectors are driving the Arowana to extinction the first thing I did was become a collector"
He collects only farm breed ones.
I watched this arowana video a few times coolest 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😍😍😄
very unfortunate about the death of Arowana
The death occurred because of the lack of water prepared in the temporary shelter aquarium
and the person who helped move Arowana is not an expert
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.
I never figure why I like the Dragon fish so much but I was born on a boat from vietnam going to Malaysia, birth cert over there.. parents named me golden Dragon in Vietnamese "Kim long" I one day would like Togo Malaysia but with all the planes going down I highly doubt I'll go.... Anyways that's my story and thanks for uploading this documentary!
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).
Nice documantry
I've had large arrowana and flowerhorn
Never use seditave on a huge fish like that
Also the fish was not properly acclimated even if s h e was not properly acclimated she did not have enough air all they did was run the tank in a situation like that you fill the tank with 5 even 10 air pumps get the water filled with air also there is no reason why they could not have slipped a few battery operated air line in put her in a 40 gal. And transport her that way it's awful
这个家庭真的不简单，我没看过一个家庭有养超过四十条龙鱼每一条都是顶级红龙，只是鱼都超过50千，真的是佩服佩服呀
whatever it is... i liked it and appriciate his love towards his fish.. could see from his eyes.. when he saw fish dead.. true love towards his fish.. great..
That was poetic. Well said.
Hi uncle why we must put pink light for super red aro?
Once you transfer arowana into a new tank, its a new environment for her. You hv to put the plastic into the tank for a few hours, then open the plastic and let her go out by itself
I can feel your pain of losing a pet that you love so much. I love birds and fish the most. may God help you.
i feel the same with the father my dog just passed away just couples of hours
i think the sedatives in the bag was not removed and was poured into the main tank along with the red
How exactly are you maintaining the water parameters
Hi can you please help me out how your maintaining the water parameters for arowana I’m doing so much of exercise to make water soft using chemicals available in market but they are not helping the water becomes hard after few days and my arowana are dying in few days after I get them ... I have lost red aro, 24k , pearl, RTG , silver, in span of 14months
i agree with other ppl that the fish died b/c of temperature shock. must always acclimate them to new tank! .
what about the drugs he poured in?
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.
Billy Corners that was clove oil most probably
arowanas have scales which helps them tolerate temperature.
I wish this cool family lots of success in breeding Asian arowanas so one they can be legal to own in the USA. One day I'll have one😁
That sedative must have killed it
Very beautiful!!!!
Poor little red. She was such a nice fish. I had a pet fish I loved so much and then I came home from work and found him dead. It has been six years years since his death that I have brought another fish into my life.
Boss where is this place where they catch aroawana in the wild?
The fish was fine till other dude put the sedative in the water.
true. i believe this was the reason of her death.
it was the paint, just like what happen our golden albino. he is so stupid bringing his fish while painting the house.
Lovely fish
I know how it feels to lose a fish, it sucks. I feel like a failure no matter what.
Boss nice to eat besides big super red arowana.kudoz to you.hope you win someday in a competition..
Aqui em 2017 só pra admirar mais uma vez....... o/
I love this family, that really heartbreaking when Little Red dead.
I didn't expect that it's going to be sad at the end.
Why she die at the end ? because of the water condition ? moving ?
I remember when my Arowana died , my mom cried the most :(
I want one!
I;m sad.. I'm also fish enthusiast.. nice, good story..
Acute stress is a serious thing in the fish keeping hobby.
I believe they could have taken extra steps to prevent "Little Red's" passing.
Hi uncle, how long u on the light for ur arowana?
it's the formula he made for the fish to calm down it was way to concentrated and he knows it
what were the soundtracks used please?
How did you build that tank?
With glass
Its a plywood tank if you check out King of DIY he has a really good tutorial. Its one of the most cost effective ways to build a large tank.
:'( id be sad to if I loose a beautiful fish like that.....
he had the fricking fish for 6 years never knew how to color him up whit shrimp or better lighting,let someone else handle your fish he looked scared when the fish shopowner wants to trow a juice in to calm the fished .then he dropped fish in a room were there was open paint cans allover and still working en drying in a room dude wtf were u thinking
Wow I never thought I would want one. Beautiful fish but so big. But after watching this or maybe I should say reading lol. I want one I want to try and help them live longer in capacity. May little red live on in this goal of mine and in the harts of the lucky ones that got to know her.
