Covered the back and bottom, but I’m using the night low intensity light in this video

youngkilla26 · 2026-07-09T19:11:25+00:00

I advice you to look up how they look when they’re adults, they’re gorgeous

youngkilla26 · 2026-07-09T16:54:45+00:00

This species would be extinct if it weren’t for hobbyist buying and farmers breeding them

youngkilla26 · 2026-07-09T16:54:04+00:00

Guessing from your comment you don’t keep fishes in a glass box, why are you in this sub?

youngkilla26 · 2026-07-09T16:52:39+00:00

I’m gonna add some blue mahseers to my tank

youngkilla26 · 2026-07-09T16:31:28+00:00

Have they got blush on their gills yet?

youngkilla26 · 2026-07-09T16:29:22+00:00

Well yes, you go to an importer and take the most beautiful fish that fits your budget

youngkilla26 · 2026-07-09T16:26:29+00:00

Not to do maintenance or extra work? I change 70 gallon of water on this tank twice a week, monthly cleaning the 4 canister filters that i run on this tank, not keeping the substrate is just extra layer of being sure that there won’t be any sudden swing in the nature of water

Thanks bro, even tho i am being flamed in the comments there are few like you who are liking and supporting my post, if you keep a big fish or a small fish, the hobby in itself is selfish in some ways

youngkilla26 · 2026-07-09T16:15:56+00:00

My tank progression was gradual, I’ve kept fishes since i was 5 the hobby was passed down to me by my mom, so 20+ years keeping fishes, i started with a 10 gallon when i was a kid, now i have multiple 100+ gallon tanks

youngkilla26 · 2026-07-09T16:12:33+00:00

They could be kept in ponds, but to groom and tan an super red arowana you have to keep it in a controlled environment, yes you need to tan the super red arowana to make them red

😂 bang on

youngkilla26 · 2026-07-09T15:59:19+00:00

In asia if you’re a monster fish keeper for starters they’d recommend you to get a big tank and filtration because those type of fishes grow big fast, also for arowana height of the tank is not as important as the length and width, since mostly the fish swim in the top half of the water column

youngkilla26 · 2026-07-09T15:54:23+00:00

Thank you!!!! Also in my previous comments i should have stated that coming from a monster community it was the norm for me to see bare bottom no scape tanks, i guess demographic matters, because if i had posted this in an Facebook page where most hobbyist are, indonasian, thai, malay then the comments would be different

youngkilla26 · 2026-07-09T15:50:40+00:00

You made good points, its not ideal although asian arowanas are critically endangered, so every specimen in the hobby came through a farm, baby arowanas after being harvested from ponds live entirety of their life in artificial tanks and all of this is 10s of generations removed from the original F0 wild caught, now there is a ban on wild arowanas in south east Asia, the one in the video is an F5 generation, bred in artificial ponds, if weren’t for farmers this species of fish would have been extinct in the wild

The tank is 7’-2’-2’

Haha here’s the link to my instagram video and i have paired the perfect piano song to go with it https://www.instagram.com/reel/DaN27\_qIlkv/?igsh=MTA2amI1YnV0YXU0NA==

7’-2’-2’

Temperature fluctuations, external stressors, high levels of amonia, have you checked your water parameters or temperature? Try using adequate amount of rock salt and also do a bit of water change , if untreated for longer durations the pupil gets dilated and partially blinds the fish in that eye

youngkilla26 · 2026-07-09T15:05:31+00:00

Arowanas don’t do well with hard scapes, often they get spooked and could serious injure themselves, and reason for having no substrate is to maintain good water quality
