My Babe Arrived!! I am so Excited :D

One of my Friend is an Arowana Enthusiast. He ordered a half Dozen Juveniles I told him I will keep one. So I got the HAPPY Call Today.

She seems in good health and about 6" of size. I am keeping her in a 55 G tank for now but I have plans to upgrade the Tank up to 120G Later. I can't take good pics of her right now but I will post some updates soon.

Flower.

Can you tell me about its sex and also tell me if you can see good flower lines cuz I really don't want to keep him if its not worth it. It is about 4" and not cooperative with cam . he acts panic when he see cam in my hand and I am not able to take a good shot of him .

Just few hours of delay.

I was doing a water change and merged 2 juvenile FH for just few hours but for some reasons I left home and came back after more then 8 hours.What I saw is a FH beaten near to death by her mate . I feel so sorry for her, she is probably taking her last breaths, she is severally injured, bleeding but breathing. I can't help her much except to give her maximum comforts possible, she is also moving her eyes but I am not sure she gonna make it till tomorrow. I guess next 8 hours are critical for her:(, Damn FH, I had no idea they can be that aggressive and mean to each other.

Music Effect Fish ?

I wonder when I play rock/country/pop, my fish gets excited in different ways, Start Dancing, Fighting, acts more actively. I searched it over google and found this http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_does_music_e...sh%27s_reaction


So they are sensible enough to feel the music. Have you noticed something familiar in your fish keeping experience ? What music is healthy for fish ?

Touching/Rubbing the Vent Area.

Hello CM Folks,


Have any of you ever perform spawning by rubbing the vent area of fish and drop the fluid in a tank, and laters had frys ?

I have seen it on tv, They were showing the way how they gets the eggs and sperms from female/male fish, that guy actually did it with a Syringe (seems painful, and can be dangerous) and put the eggs/sperms in an incubator where oxygen supplies and temperature were stable. After 72 hours he opened the incubator's drawer and there were so many fry swimming out there.

A friend of mine told me about the same thing in fish, he said you can do it without using needles and just Rub the Vent area when the fish is mature enough and ready to spawn and Making/digging nest in gravel/stones.

If any of you did it, or knows about it, please refer me a site or link so I can read more about it, I have plans to do something like that if i have enough info. If that is possible, I can have the hybrid I want.
