If you don't mind me asking rudy, how much? I don't want to pry, I just want to buy. I think that Dragonfish Canada is the import business that Street Cypher from Aquatic Predators started. I talked to him on several occasions and he was a pretty good guy.
Also rudy if you don't mind, can I look you up next time I'm in C town? I think Kyle can vouch for me. I'm just dying to see your legendary Rays. :thumbs:

Hi guys - some big news for the Canadian Asian arowana hobby. Check out Canada's first dedicated Asian arowana site at www.arowanaclub.ca
The site is a joint venture with the admin of arowanaclub.com out of Singapore.
As a gift to the Asian arowana hobby in Canada, Dragonfish.ca is raffling off a Panda Gold Supreme Asian arowana to whoever can guess the price of gold on a specified day! The regular retail price for such a fish is about $1000 in Canada!
Best of luck to all!
i wanna enter, but how am supposed to
how do this contest work?

Hey BigA,
They are not the cheapest fish, but definitely within reason, depending on how much you want the fish and how crazy you are lol
Sloughshark, they look absolutely amazing when mature, even as juveniles these guys look awesome!

The subject is a ~14" Guinea endlicheri.

Thanks for looking!

Thanks everyone for the kind words!
The tiled bottom was mainly for ease of maintenance, but to still provide my fish with a feeling of security (unlike BB, which stresses bottomfish out a lot) gives barebottom a new flare.
The tank is only a 180g, but it is filtered by 2 XP3, 1 AC500 and a 90g beside tank sump (about 60-70g water volume)...

three variants together

For active fish i remove all decor and drain water so its very low so they can't swim up, only side to side.
For nocturnal bottom fish (ie. bichirs) i'll "herd" them into a large PVC pipe, once they're in cover both sides with my hands, lift out and into whatever.
This method is almost too easy to believe
-
I remember a big debate a while back that a blue is just a black, and eventually its colors will be the same. None the less an awesome fish though, and all blacks are wild caught.
Have you checked all the water parameters?
I have an RTG, when i first got it it was beaten up, stressed to the max and had been on a 2 week hunger strike.
I treated with triweekly water changes, pimafix/melafix, salt, increased temp and aeration and after 2 weeks of that it started eating (feeders at first and then crickets/mealworms and now its on a pellet exclusive diet, at least until it accepts other foods)

Arowanas are pretty hard to breed, i have never heard of a private hobbyist breeding them, closest i have heard is one layed infertile eggs.
They need huge ponds and usually large groups in order to breed (and even then you have no guarantees), as well as the fact that they are mouth brooders, you must physically force the babies out of the parents mouths.
And i hate to break it to ya, 90g is not large enough for 2 let alone 1.
-
i chuckled when i saw that pic, i l ove bichirs, too bad you didn't catch them in actions!
I bet they had to do some major death rolling to get chunks off! That would have been a sight
-
thanks for the comps all,
the first guy is ~12", the del is ~8-9"
-
I was procrastinating from studying, so i took some snaps of my fish
First is a "guinea" endlicheri, actually very active for an endlicheri
not the greatest pic, but i thought it was cool
close up of the head
His partner in crime, an also unusually active "guinea" lapradei
delhezi
retropinnis, or should i say polypterus mokelembembe
Thats all for now folks!
-
dead link, but i'll guess anyways. Wells catfish
-
You'll love the ornates, while a little more reclusive than other species, they are some of the better patterened species!
-
Nice fish! I've only seen them around here once and regret not buying them!!
-
Just a tip on the pot scrubbers, they distribute the best if you unroll them all.
-
Toirtis, the guys in the video are ~12". I have abunch of still pictures that show some side by side comparisons, makes it easier to compare the different variants. But even within each variant they will differ a little, so determining the exact locale is pretty hard. Toirtis, too bad you're so far away, i'd love and i mean LOVE to see your collection and setups
Froggie, as Toirtis stated they are bichirs. These particular ones came from Africa Via a middleman in Texas. http://www.rehobothaquatics.com/index2.html
-
The one in the video is the "guinea" variant, and the lapradei is also a "guinea" variant.
-
There are many variations of trickle filters out there,
This is a very common setup, the water level is going to stay fairly low, the bioballs/pot scrubbers would be sit inside the tower to the left and the water level would not be higher than the bottom of the tower.
