    Put a camera in the 2000G and live stream it on your website, it is really cheap and so much fun to watch. You can also see how Frank is doing and we can see your awsome arowana

  • @MeganDinerman
    @MeganDinerman 7 років тому +66

    I think of it as "the puppy syndrome ". When you get a new pet, even though you have an older pet, the new pet is coddled and favored. This is what the viewers seem to be doing with Frank. The arowana seems possessive of you, Joey, and I think that's awesome.

    • @thespecialbroccoli6969
      @thespecialbroccoli6969 7 років тому +2

      Megan Dinerman Also, Frank is a "baby" fish, while the arowana is very large and an adult. The same probably applies to Taylor's Longhorn Cowfish Cheese. He's cute now because hes very small but when he becomes an adult, he will probably be less popular because the "cuteness factor" is gone.

    How bout Platinum Florida Gar??
    1. Omnivorous and can accept pellets and frozen shrimp if trained, and wont touch plants
    2. Not so aggresive towards the same size fish
    3. striking color of platinum
    4. not so big sized, just around 60cm in captivity which is good for asian arowana

    Don't worry Joey. I love the arowana. Can't wait to know hat his name is going to be. He deserves a name, he's a good boy! :D
    A shoal of Giant Glassfish (Paramabassis gulliveri) would be absolutely lovely for your big tank in my opinion! It's a really cool looking fish, they're peaceful, grow to about 11 inches, easy to feed and lives to be about 8 years.
    I also like the idea of a decent group of Florida gars in the tank but maybe thats mostly because it is my favorite fish but maybe it's not what your looking for or what would fit the tank the best. They're freaking cute though.

    People like frank because he acts like a puppy and, like you said, we humanized him with the name. Then we saw the arowana bully him and we now perceive frank is living in fear and decreased his quality of life. The arowana has no name and acts cold and detached like a heartless predatory fish. Kinda like a friendly dolphin that comes to play with you and a cold blooded killing machine great white ripping him apart. Of course this problem is mostly in our heads

    Joey it's because everybody thinks they know more about your fish than you do there's a lot of judgment in this hobby I think the arrowana and a tank in the raise and Frank look great in that tank I like the Arawana as well I just don't have a big enough cake for one

    I love the arowana as wen you talk in front of the tank he swims along like to say this is all mine as it reminds me of my convict cichlid that live all on his own in a big tank and will kill any fish that gets near him.... and yet he's scared of me when I'm doing maintenance on the tank

    For plants I'd recommend the Anubias genus (regular, Nana Petite, Gold etc) already tied to small lava rocks so you can just drop and position them into place. Also LOTS of Java fern (regular, trident, needle leaf etc). Can't wait to see your 2kG scaped with lush greenery! All the best, Master Joey.

      smokin Dauberdoo420 my fire eel would never come out of his hole except for food. And they need to burrow in sand or at least have some pipes around the tank which would not look natural. Also the eel and the stingrays might run into problems, as they occupy the same area in the tank (floor) beautiful fish but it might be weird for this tank

    Hey Joey. Had me laughing my head off! Go to love how Frank has become the star.
    On another note, I know the water is still mostly brown from the wood... going to take a while to clear. But man I still dream of this tank in black, who knows maybe one day you will change your mind do a DIY video on how to change the color once you picked one (guess its a pipe dream)..... On that note, the lights are still not in place right, my guess is they probably show up when the plants do.
    keep it up, I check many times a day for the next video. Still chuckling with your new found star.

  • @Xenoaquaria
    @Xenoaquaria 7 років тому +12

    Most silverdollars will eat plants that's right.
    I've kept some different Myleus and Metynnis and what I can tell you by experience is that Metynnis maculatus is NOT eating plants.
    They get to a size of about 15cm to 18cm so if you can get adults or grow them out in a 120gal you should be fine.
    Problem with big characins is that almost every species will damage plants.
    Maybe Ctenolucius, Acestrorhynchus, Boulengerella or Hepsetus could be an option.
    BUT since they are living near the surface the arowana might attack them.
    With barbs it's a little different.
    Bigger species of Dawkinsia might be an option.
    Adult Sahyadria denisonii as well, they'd look fantastic in there!
    Balantiocheilos melanopterus could be kept in this tank as well (and you could show people on the internet how to keep them which is NOT in a 50-150gal tank but in a way larger aquarium)
    If you decide to move Frank in one of the 120gal you could go for a group of peaceful cichlids such as Satanoperca and Geophagus.
