I bought a new Silver Arrowana yesterday. I had one that was 18" a couple years ago, but he jumped through the canopy and I didn't find him in time. I was depressed. 02.gif
But now I'm glad to have picked up my new baby. laugh.gif
He's about 3 inches long right now. But if you know about them, they'll grow a foot per year, and up to 6 feet long. tongue.gif They're not aggressive, but will eat anything that can fit in it's mouth.

I also bought another Pacu so that my 22" Pacu would have a swimming buddy as soon as it grows large enough.

Here's a vid of my 22" Pacu that my girl named Paco. tired.gif She likes hand feeding him hotdogs.

Awww he's so cute. I love fishies...

Ahh, i clicked on the picture of the Pacu and I saw "SharkRac..." in the title, but then I read it all and it said "SharkRacer." For a second I was going to beat you for having a Shark Racing Photo Album. lmao.gif

Yea, he's huge. A little bigger than normal size Pacu's, but he needs a tankmate because they like schooling.

I was just thinking about calling you. I was wondering how you've been. I'll call later.


I'm getting a bigger tank at the end of the year. Hopefully a 250+.
