    So... after much paperwork... finally our new addition to the family

    Baby High Back Gold Asian Aro... really a baby at only about 13cm but has an amazing character and is not scared of anything
    Her gold already shows right up her back so looks good so far
    Pictures were taken during water change, I took out all the wood to scrub and the plants to wash and not once did she go into panic mode
    Straight after we finished, she promptly had 4 pieces of shrimp!!

    Not sure if she will stay with me or end up in one of @Cesar's tanks all depends on how things pan out but for now, way too small to go to any of his tanks as she would become breakfast overnight

    Very stunning looking Arowana @MariaS.
    The tank looks nice. i really look forward in seeing how it grew within a month or 2 month time. Keep up the good work!

    At the moment no because, they need a CITIES Certificate proving that they are captive bred and the extra paperwork costs them money which adds to the price of the fish
    So again you would probably either have to pay a deposit or go through the trouble of organizing the paperwork yourself

    Thanks @top dog

    Yep... I feel the same!
    Considering Snoopy was basically silver when we got it and today the gold just touches the sixth scale an d looking at this baby, the gold is already touching the sixth scale at this size, it certainly looks promising but I guess only time will tell and we can only hope
