    Dude, you can never contain your infectious excitement in any of your uploads.

  • @fenadonsugianto6883
    @fenadonsugianto6883 7 років тому +10

    Apologies, doesnt mean to let you down, but it is not a high quality red arowana. In my country ( from where its origin ) I can get that for almost approx almost 200usd for that size in traditional fish market. For the good one cost me about 1,800 usd.But I am realized it must be very hard to get one in your country. How much does it cost in there?
    Btw I am truly support all your tutorials, keep up the good work.

    @61percentodicarica 7 років тому +3

    Joey, why don't you shoot a video focused on the new arrowana's tank only? so that we can enjoy him/her swimming in there as you do.
    without following him/her, just put the camera in front of the tank and leave it there 5 or 10 minutes

  • @bigdawg6134
    @bigdawg6134 7 років тому +5

    I've been thinking on getting angel fish and I was just wondering if it's OK to put like 2 or 3 in a 55 gallon tank ?

    • @badraven1169
      @badraven1169 7 років тому +1

      Yes, but also make sure to have plenty of territories for them to claim(plants rocks caves), its said they work best in groups of 5 or more angel fish together. Also with my experience this fish aren't very hardy so make sure all levels of the tank are running right and the tank has been running for at least 1 month already.

    • @HIDDENxFatality
      @HIDDENxFatality 7 років тому

      @marvinheberger8941 7 років тому +2

      i know there are many reason why you dont need to put anything more in the tank than a filtrationsystem, but it is still an animal which should be kept in an natural environment and plants do look pretty :)

    sweet congrats on your new red arowana. now you got to pump the size first and then do tanning using pink light. feeding market prawn and crickets and vitamins will bring out the deep red colour. if you intend to have tankmates in future, now it is the best time to introduce them into the tank when the red aro is small.

    Damn it Joey! Not only have you given the get up and go to really get back into fish keeping again, not only have you given me the inspiration and know how to actually make my own tank and filters but now now this. Now I have seen a red Asian Arowana, it is on the must have list!
    Can't wait to see how your new addition will grow into his or hers colors.
