Right Boys Drooooooooool away!

just FYI guys

The ones on tops a South american Silver Arowana .. had her for the last 2 years .. got her when she was a foot long .... she is now 26 inches .... her feed includes live fish ... mostly goldfish ... as they are slow moving and reduces the risk of the tank breaking or fish getting hurt whilst chasing the buggers around ..also shes eats cockroaches , Lizards , baby mice , spiders ,, beefheart , market prawn , chiken pieces ... shes a regular carnivore ..costs between 18-20K

The one below has just been imported from Singapore ... Asian Arowana .. species callled RTG or red tail golden . shes around 18 inches and should grown another 12 inches in a year . she comes with a microchip in her body and a certificate registered with CITIES - cost me 40 K in singapore with the export cert from AVA - retails in Mumbai for around 1.25 lakhs .anyone interested

Rumor has it that the Shiv sena supremo has a whole lot of them in his house ,,, never seen it but must be AWESOME --

Mighty ..... you living dangerously pal

"They good eating Fred?"

Nah, Full of bones. I've caught plenty of saratoga in Australia and absolutely nodoby bothers to eat them. Great fun on surface lures though.

Hi Fred,

nice pics. Tomorrow I'll have a short stop at a Chinese aquarium market. Maybe I'll find some there too. If yes I'll add some more pictures...

Hi,
as promised here now a few photos of Arowana fish. Photos have been made this morning at one of the HANGZHOU aquarium bazaars. The Arowana on this pics are roughly 25 inch big and could go up to 3000-4000 US$. No idea for the flowerhorn which was also a nice big one. The silver ones are smaller and of course much cheaper. Didn't ask therefore but they should even be less as 100$.

Wish I could see the pictures. To avoid contaminating your fish with Salmonella organisms, it is wise not to feed raw meats, especially chicken or pork - these frequently harbor the organism and if eaten by the fish the disease will be passed on. Feeder Gold Fish may contain thiaminase, an enzyme that destroys Vitamin B1 (thiamin). Its suggested to use common Barb, guppies and Rosy red minnows as live food. However feeder guppies are not available anymore. Hey Fred if you know any shop which sells feeder Barb, guppies and Rosy red minnows please PM me I need them feed my Baby Red ear slider turtles.

PS: baby mice ????? from where do you get them???

The original Barramundi Ken...

Nice fish Fred, goes well with lemon and butter. Just clean the buggers and put them in a mixer bones and all with some mayo, then add lemon and butter and salt to taste. Then put the Pate between two slices of bread, trim the edges and chomp on it....yummy!! You may not have the record of having the most expensive fish but you will likely hold the record for the most expensive sandwitch.

Oops sorry, dont forget to garnish with parsley and green olives.....pitted.

nice show

But seriously, Fred... Ever wondered how they would taste

Maybe deep fried in butter, brushed with lime juice and dipped in a hot sauce.. [/quote]
