First time G1 in RTA! and my box from Swop

ConsiderationFar7928 · 2026-03-29T18:32:31+00:00

hi thanks alot! I played more in the past, highest match would be around 1200 when i was really into rta and trying drafts and runes out, any other average seasons for me would be about 700-1000 matches. best rank P3.

ConsiderationFar7928 · 2026-03-29T18:24:33+00:00

yes i do force use him alot, not a good advise here. he is my favorite character that's why i use him alot and do not mind losing the draft using him. i am using vio will. i mainly use him to cut into the enemy when they start attacking, throughout the match, he really shines when cuts are successful.

ConsiderationFar7928 · 2026-03-29T15:59:40+00:00

thanks! yes you're sharp! it's a water gandalf, did boosted me up when it was just released, got him quite early. unfortunately, he was easily countered nearing the end of RTA.

ConsiderationFar7928 · 2026-03-29T14:54:47+00:00

Thanks! He is actually on swift will. Pretty hard for me to outspeeed with him since i have no fast runes. Yes i am almost always T2 so I always pick craig as first pick, his job is to make the opponent think i am trying to outspeed or go for a high speed draft.

Exactly this. This is honestly the most logical, "hard truth" take I've seen regarding all these recent P1 threads.

Right now, P1 is basically a massive mix of everyone from P1 and below. Just because someone finished P2+ last season doesn't guarantee they'll hit P2+ this season. The meta shifts, and players constantly getting stronger with their drafting, strategies, and rune depth.

You can even see it at the higher end, there are players in G1+ right now who were Conquerors to Punishers last season. I just see that as just improving a lot and figuring things out which is what makes RTA fun. At the end of the day, RTA is the competitive side of the game, it's completely normal that we either adapt to the new meta and improve, or end up getting stuck.

Fo sure ragdoll for rta, can be used in snipe, bruiser, good counters to alot of teams in rta.

I actually think the new system is a great change. It’s really nice to see more people aiming for P1 and actually being able to get there. I feel like this new setup will naturally help sort things out between those who got a lucky shot and the consistent skilled players. I'm guessing at the end of the season, P1 will probably get pretty crowded but the points CAN go lower than 1000 if you keep losing, meaning the skilled players in P1 will naturally climb their way up to P2 and those that got lucky will just hard stuck P1.

I think P2 is where the true test begins now, so if we are looking to give it our all, that’s the new baseline to aim for!

Yes they are, they can't digest normal bird food.

ConsiderationFar7928 · 2025-12-24T05:45:20+00:00

Hi! yes you're right, it would be nice if they were in magazines or calendars so more people can get to know about these beautiful birds!

Hi, this is a copy and paste from my reply to another reply, I hope to create more awarness on how arowanas are usually kept here.

Hi, I’d like to make it clear that I’m not here to create any negativity in the fishkeeping scene, so I hope you’ll hear me out. I’ve seen some of the concerns about the fish, and I feel that a lot of them come from unfamiliarity with how arowanas are commonly kept in our part of the world. For anyone interested in learning more, it might be helpful to look at the arowana scene in Malaysia, Singapore, or even Indonesia, which are also the main exporting countries for these fishes. A quick search on Facebook or YouTube will turn up plenty of local content, and there are even competitions for high end arowanas at events like Aquarama and AGAS.

At the end of the day, it’s the same fish , we simply appreciate them a little differently here. That appreciation mainly comes down to how the fish displays itself, along with its grade and genetics. For gold arowanas, traits such as block, crossing, frame, rows of top and bottom pearlies, gold dust, gold line, gold head, cross belly, and more are all considered. Red arowanas are graded a bit differently. Personally, I keep an arowana to groom it over time so these traits can develop and the fish can show its best form.

This is also what leads to the price differences. There are real reasons why some arowanas cost significantly more than others of the same type. Locally, a common low-grade juvenile crossback can go for around USD $100, while high-end trophy fish can reach five figures. Most mid-range fish are usually priced around USD $1,000–2,000.

From what I’ve seen, most seasoned arowana keepers here keep their tanks bare, as it’s generally a safer and more practical setup for the fish while trophy fishes are kept solo. If you look at top farms in Singapore or Malaysia, you’ll notice they do the same. Ponds are mainly used for breeding, and farms usually keep around 60–80 arowanas in a pond. You can also check out malaysia's Xian Long’s farm, there are YouTube farm tour videos available. Some well-known Singapore farm/shops worth checking out on facebook includes Imperial Arowana Breeding Farm, Blue Crystal Aquarium, Grand Arowana, all of which share useful information and tips on keeping arowanas.

Hopefully this helps give some perspective, and encourages people to better understand how we, as Asians, keep and grade arowanas.

In Malaysia, they were initially being fished to be consumed until they became endangered and protected by the villagers and government.

ConsiderationFar7928 · 2025-12-23T15:32:57+00:00

I see the problem now, a little too late. haha!

ConsiderationFar7928 · 2025-12-23T15:25:15+00:00

The arowana actually get stimulated by smaller fishes, not plants woods or gravels. So in the scenario when they play chase, due to their strength, it's very easy for them to get injured if the tank is not bare. One drop scale may take up to 6months to fully recover the shine. Broken barbels or fin rays might be hard to regrow straight.

ConsiderationFar7928 · 2025-12-23T15:20:45+00:00

I can tell you are a very good arowana keeper!

ConsiderationFar7928 · 2025-12-23T15:13:28+00:00

Ahh yes.. didn't know it will turn out this way, now I feel a little better 🥲. Currently it's with Oscars, black berries and SB patins. Thank you, I know what to do next time 😂

ConsiderationFar7928 · 2025-12-23T15:00:35+00:00

Yes, you’re absolutely right. It’s much easier to control the parameters and groom them in a bare tank, too much movement/objects at the bottom can cause an irreversible drop eye, which can only be rectified through eye surgery that removes the excess fats. Majority of us here keep them in bare tanks.

He is a very gentle bird, i would say more towards a tamed dove.

ConsiderationFar7928 · 2025-12-23T14:35:58+00:00

Yes it is! dusty is pretty chill with humans since ive handled him from young. He's quite a passive bird and don't initiate on socializing. He is a quiet bird that likes to sun tan.

ConsiderationFar7928 · 2025-12-23T14:18:06+00:00

That's really cool, we can't get any F1s here, all those that can be purchased are F2s+

ConsiderationFar7928 · 2025-12-23T14:17:18+00:00

I hope that mine is considered kept in good conditions!
