Flash the Red Dragon (Arowana)

Thanks @Reedfish...

He/she is growing very fast but, Its a little eating machine!!!

 

@Reedfish, I guess you right but compared to Snoopy, Cesar's RTG, it probably eats three times what Snoopy eats!

And if its hungry, it keeps trying to jump out the tank if it sees any moth flying around the lights in the evening.
One day its going to knock itself out!

 

How old is Flash now?

 

I cant tell you exactly how old.... his certificate says he was chipped on the 28th March 2016

I would imagine he would have to be at least about 6 month old...
@Jwh, what do you think? I know you mentioned this not so long ago in one of your posts

 

I meant 6 months at the time he was chipped

 

Still a youngster then, with the way he's eating he'll become a monster haha. Are you going to tan him to see if he reddens up more? Being young and already very red without tanning you might have a extremely expensive fish in 5 years or so. Maybe even in the 100k region. The one on that documentary was worth $5000 thats R70 000 and yours looks more red than that one.

 

@BoelderBeestie ... I havent really decided on the taning yet...
Some say you should start now but he is looking so nice and his red is coming through so beautifully that Im tempted to let nature take its course and see how it goes.
For now, Im using the sunlight globe which some say is sufficient if the genes are there

 

Can't wait to see him in a few years. Going to be a beast.

 

Sound about right, the aro's need to be in the 15-20cm range to have sufficient bulk to be chipped, on my certs it also only gives the chipped date not birth date

 

Awesome fish Maria.Tnx for the video of swimming with dragons boelderbeestie,that was nice.Another fish caught my eye in his L shaped tank,any idea what the green striped fish is to the left ?tnx in advance ! !

 

Peacock bass

 

Thanks @Jwh... pity they dont include dob,would be interesting
Some pictures of yours would be nice.....

@Christiaan Duvenage Yep, peacock bass

 

@MariaS Beautiful Arowana, WOW! Is it a chipped super red? Around 17k a pop I believe, you're braver than me! LOL! I just have a silver and wow what a picky eater! It's growing though, but has unfortunately developed drop-eye on the one side, I hope that it grows out of it! You're lucky! Enjoy!

 

25k, ouch! Well done, enjoy!

 

What a stunner @MariaS, Just out of curiosity is there anyone in South Africa who has managed to breed them the like the Indonesians?

 

tlc you still around

 

highly doupt there is even a pair in SA, probably 20 fish in the whole country

 

If anybody is looking for one, Fish for Africa has a nice red for R25k
