The asian arowana is the reincarnation of the dragon and no one can tell me different. Here's why... and a rant.

My 12 year old Silver Arrowana jumped out his tank a few weeks ago after i left the lid off to do some cleaning. I got him as a little fry and raised him nice a fat over the years and many houses my wife and I went through. RIP Gary

I was eating while watching this video, and hearing Joey mispronouncing Creteacious Period so badly that it sounded like he was saying 'crustaceous period' (so basically the time of only crabs and their cousins) nearly made me die from choking because I was laughing so hard.

GTFOH! Have u done some research on these fish regarding it's cost because I doubt many people would toss in $3k fish let alone many people doing so not forgetting the weather does get cold and not conducive for these fish to survive. It's this sort of ignorance that influences this sort of mentality! 😆 I tell u what, lmk what fish u see that are invasive wild fish in south FL and also tell me what they go for normally retail wise.....I can answer that for u, the silver aro is probably the only one that has any worth over $100 while the rest are barely worth $20 if that even especially the midas and Oscars 😆 unreal the ignorance is overwhelming!!!!!!!!

I'm from Asia and in my opinion it is very true if you treat your dragon well, it will bring you great health and success. The dragon connects with you unlike other fishes and if you look them in the eyes you will know what I meant. If it dies for unknowing reason, it is a belief it has warded off the bad luck that supposed to be detrimental to the owner. Take care of it with all your love my brother and I really believe it will do the same for you. Cheers and looking forward to all your videos!

Curious, where does the platinum or white fall? What species do they originate from?

@thekingofdiy Жыл бұрын

those can naturally occur in any species of fish and most other animals. Its not a seperate species but rather a genetic mutation. They dont really survive in the wild due to obvious reasons, but the hobby celebrates them, covets them and likes to reproduce them to sell at higher prices due to rarity..... ive never been a fan.

@pjshooter6 Жыл бұрын

@@thekingofdiy I thought they may be derived from 1 particular species. I know they are expensive, though I don't keep any freshwater. I moved into reef keeping back in 1988 and have not kept freshwater since. I will be adding a pond with koi and tilapia to my new property, and if I could I would probably try arawana as well, though the risk of them freezing in the winter makes it not a possibility.

Hi bro, Amazing facts about 5he arawana. It really is a majestic specie. I know you don't just spew out info.. you actually do research. And care about your fishes wrll being. So your education comes from real facts and experience. Say have you sern the blue arowana? I think it rival your arowana for beauty. Not sure if it's found that way in nature. As i've not done reseach. But wow! The color of the blue is amazing!!!. Btw the fish you have in the 2000g really compliments the arowana. Can't wait for your future projects..

In Aust. we have 2 Saratogas... Leichardti which is the more common in the aquarium trade. Cheaper and less jumpy. These are the silver with some yellow.. The other is known as the Jardini. Pronounced Jar-dee-nee. Alot more jumpy. Has red on edges of edge scales. Grow bigger and much harder to come by in trade. Both are not endangered. More scales top to bottom than an Asian 7 vs 5. Still beasts and equally as awesome as an Asian.
