The Green Arowana - Diary
Welcome to my Green Arowana site. I am here to share with you my experience in keeping my Arowana.
Dec 2004
Just
move in to his new 4' tank. Look at its size compared to the water pump. Its
feeding regime is only crickets. I feed him once a day. He swims happily
everyday in this tank alone. He is still quite timid at this time. Always trying
to avoid people.
Jan 2005
Don't
know why its body has started turning pink. Is it because of too much cricket?
Let time decides on his coloration. The tail however has becoming more yellow.
The gill has becoming more purple. I am not sure whether mine is really green.
People said, the green arowana will never look green like grass. It will somehow
show a little bit green on its scales. Just let the time show its true
coloration.
May 2005
In
Feb 05, my digital camera broke down and sent for repair. It was still under
warranty. I had to go through a lengthy process to get it replaced. It took all
in 4 months. Well, this is him again. Has grown up so much. Its feeding regime
has also change since then. It is now feeding more on little fish and of course
cricket is still its favourite. If you look closely now, you will see it has
started developing some dark spots on it s back. It is not common for green
arowana to have this. Yes, you are still looking at the same one in Dec 2004. I
don't have money to get myself a new one.
Jun 2005
The
2nd row scales from top, has started to show its green. The top part of the body
is still dark. X back maybe. But I have never heard anything about X back green.
Perhaps this is the first of its kind.
July 2005
Somehow
he is turning purple again. However, the green scales can still be seen at the
top two layers. The back is still dark colour. Let's see what he will turn out
next.
Dec 2005
Sorry, no pictures between July to November. I lost my
digital camera. Anyway, here he is again. He is now a bigger boy. His length is
now about 17". He had an accident recently. He jumped out of the tank while
I was cleaning it. My fault actually. Check out photo
no 5, you can see his injury there, close to his dorsal. He lost his
appetite for few days. Now he is back to normal again. His feeding regime has
change dramatically. He feeds more on crickets and lizards. From time to time,
he also gets frozen prawn.
Thanks for visiting. Don't
forget to sign my guest book.
