Feeding my Arowana

nulbonklr · 20th July 2008

When I feed my aro, it's always the top view, dun really have a chance to see it by the side. So I've taken some shots using a radio remote and a wireless flash.

Wanna share with you guys,

Cheers!

Bought it at 328 almost 4 years ago, what they told me was a cross breed between a crossback and a RTG.

It's 2" when I bought it. Once it reaches 8", I feed only once a week to control it's size. Still looks young and aggressive.

feeding prawn meat? o_o

Nice fish! But now how big already? How come want to control the size? If the appetite is good, I'd power feed to let it max out.

Yep, solely market prawns, no live food.

Thanks. That's the thrill aros, we won't know how it will looks at the time we buy, especially red aros.

Yes, it has a very good appetite, can grow till 2 feet at a very rate if power feed everyday. But by then it's majestic and calm, not much thrill. Now it's around 14", I prefer aros between 12" to 18", more agile, lively and aggressive.

Thank you for your compliment.

great shot. Would like to know your settings if possible. The wireless flash setup etc.

Level 6 rims are starting to have gold! Really quite a nice piece of highback RTG. Anyway, does it have slight PLJ?

dariobt · 25th July 2008

Beautiful creature. Good captures. Makes me want to get one as a pet.
