You **** lol I always wanted to get one but the price is just to much.I had Red Chilli Arowana a few years back and sold him for $4k 6x2x2 tank and custom reef
You just gotta know people, usually out west, I have no idea their market value now.You **** lol I always wanted to get one but the price is just to much.
Heard you can import them from China but very risky and if you get busted your going to jail.
Majority of cichlids are aggressive if you want a fish that funny to watch get a parrot cichlidI was also into Flowerhorns, they're a very aggressive fish and cross bred. With some say Chinese characters written on the side or their bodies
Last one I saw about 2 years ago it was gold and about 70cm long went for 6kYou just gotta know people, usually out west, I have no idea their market value now.
Look up Flowerhorns, they're sick as well.
That's an incredibly beautiful fish.I had Red Chilli Arowana a few years back and sold him for $4k 6x2x2 tank and custom reef
Loved my tank but after awhile I couldn't be fkd cleaning it all the time.
Sold the whole set up for dirt cheap
As an added bonus, you can put two males together and watch them fight eachother to the death.
My mate put a mirror up against one wall of the tank, and the fish went nuts !

Fighter Fish looks absolutely beautiful when it is in fighting mode, the hairs on the body pop up, the gills come out and the colors of the fish are really on display.My mate had a fish tank back in the days and he was really into it. He had 2 sharks (the really small ones) and they used to chase each other around all day. He also had a ghost knife, and, believe it or not, a half-dead Siamese fighting fish the refused to give in to death lol. This thing fought with the other SFF he had for about 4 hours, eventually winning, then refusing to die from his wounds afterwards. Tough little bugger it was.
Has anyone here seen SFF in action?
Some of the females fight other females, as both of them are territorial, but they don't fight the opposite sex.Fighter Fish looks absolutely beautiful when it is in fighting mode, the hairs on the body pop up, the gills come out and the colors of the fish are really on display.
In Philippines, the locals put money on this game where they bring their on fighters and put them in a tank, and who ever wins , wins the money.
At the end of a fight both the fish die, it all depends on who dies first.
Personally I dont like this game. people usually put mirrors on tanks to make the fish believe there is another fish in the tank and he goes all hektik.
obviously only the males fight and females dont, females are also dull with no colors.
Some of the females fight other females, as both of them are territorial, but they don't fight the opposite sex.
They were causing problems in Adelaide a few years ago and becoming a pest and killing many of the local fish and marine life down there.
Females fight, but it's not as common as the males - both are territorial creatures:really females fight too??
also how can they become a pest when they dont fight another kind?
*Sorry I said Adelaide, I meant Adelaide River up north. They are a threat to our native animals as they are invasive. They swim into our waters from South-East Asia (where they are native) and become invasive:They are a very territorial fish and it is unwise to house two males together. Even the females may become territorial towards each other if not housed in a large enough tank.
In January 2014 a large population of the fish was discovered in the Adelaide River Floodplain in the Northern Territory, Australia. As an invasive species they pose a threat to native fish, frogs and other wildlife in the wetlands.
Bro marine life can be so complex and complicated. People think fish are the easiest pets to maintain. They are the exact opposite. You need to change the water in the tank every month, make sure the filter is working and clean, have an air pump in there, have a fluro light fixed (to keep the fish active), and all these other little things, but perhaps the most complex of all is knowing which fish to have. You can't just have a bunch of different fish and other marine creatures mixed together in the same tank because they look good - you need to have a good balance otherwise they'll all kill each other lol. Circle of life brother, circle of life.Man when I get better I'm bumping this thread because you guys know everything.
I love everything marine but have no fucking idea about nothing.
So dang true! I was so tempted to get Angelfish, but then I knew that those mofos grow quite big, and are natural predators to tetras and many different smaller fish. With my guppies and harlequins in the tank, it was a no no.Bro marine life can be so complex and complicated. People think fish are the easiest pets to maintain. They are the exact opposite.

That's the thing mate. I would LOVE to have an array of creatures in one tank, but know it can't happen. I'd love to have:So dang true!

Did some research and realized that gouramis can get quite big, but not be aggressive, they have more of a sucking mouth to get food rather than a nipping one.
The waterchange and pH testing is a pain at times, took us a few goes to get the balance going, but ever since then i dont think i can stop.
Sitting in front of that tank at lunch time, the most relaxing thing you can do.
Well, at least your Sharks would be well fed.That's the thing mate. I would LOVE to have an array of creatures in one tank, but know it can't happen. I'd love to have:
I know that combination (plus more) won't work though lol.
- Small sharks
- Clown Fish
- Angel/Rainbow fish
- Blue mud crab
- Yabby
- Sea Horses
- Glofish
Learning to compromise is how we get through life. Man I wanted nothing more than to have clown fish and pet turtles. But I realised that the perfect stepping stone would be a freshwater tropical environment. boom no clown fish.That's the thing mate.
