• Stupid question, how do I setup a hospital tank? I want to do this for Bessie. She’s still not feeling herself What is the best treatment? Seems like she has a hard time swimming and I notices she would sniff to find her food. I’m all to bettas health. I want to save her.
• Before anyone can suggest a treatment, we’d need to know your tank size, water parameters (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH), how often you do water changes and how much. When you say she is not herself and has a hard time swimming…what do you mean? Is she not eating?
• I just did her tank cleaning. She wasn’t herself before. She’s not very active like the other 4 and she use to be active and would sometime flare at me and she hasn’t done it. To me she looks bloated, am I right? I don’t think it’s not the water as the other Bettas use the same water from the tap. Here is a photo of her.
• No way to tell from that pic if she’s bloated or not. If you think she is, you might try fasting her for 2 or 3 days
• We need a side on pic and a top view pic. Examples of what I mean in replies.
• Fell in love with this guy today at my lfs. His water in the cup was horrible and he looked almost dead. I think he has swim bladder. Trying to get him better and hoping for the best.
• Mine was the same way and crooked as well, but in two days he was fine with proper living quarters. Just watch for distress, and go accordingly.
• Me: *walk into petsmart* I’m not gonna get fish. I’m not gonna get fish. I’m not gonna get fish.

  Story of my life!

  *Update on my Popeye Petco boy
  Today’s marks the 5th day of meds and he’s finally starting to show progress! Makes me so happy! His eye is starting to go down. I’m so happy I refused to leave Petco without him.

  (this picture is from when I brought him home, he refused to stay still for an updated picture )

  My male Rupert got his much needed and deserved tank upgrade. He seems so much happier in a 5 gllon rather than a little 2 gallon. He has a snail, Cory cat, a couple ghost shrimp, a piece of indian almond leaf, and a moss ball in with him. Should I had a hide or anything else?

   

• Just FYI, Cory cats need a minimum of 10 gallons, sand substrate and are a schooling fish, so at least 4-6 needed for them to be happy .
• I’ve always had my Cory on pebbles and he’s perfectly fine ive had him 4 years do far my partner’s deputy manager at friends in soggy homes and says pebbles are fine we have 3 of them
• Just to show the consistent recommendation that they need larger numbers and sand substrate. Please research the species prior to purchasing of any animal.
• I’ve always been told aslong as it’s small rounded pebbles it’s fine
  He’s perfectly qualified his qualifications are endless I think I’d take his word any day my albino Cory’s have never had any problems all their barbs are fine
  Just incase that’s aimed at me instead of the women posting

Posted by Amanda H: These fish are river fish and do appreciate water current. I do advise you buying a powerhead for your aquarium. Some people buy the cheaper wave makers but I like actual powerheads better because they can add oxygen to the water being moved. So if your moving that water with bubbles mixed in it.. that adds a lot more oxygen to the water. I would get the brand name “Marineland” because they have been around for ages and are fair priced. Here is a link to a top rated one

What I would do is move it around in your aquarium and watch what your arowana fish is doing in that current. How large your fish is will depend on how much current they want and where the current they want. But then again.. all fish are different too. I would start by putting the powerhead six inches below the surface and mixing oxygen bubbles with it and see what your fish does.

If your arowana seems to be hiding away from the current maybe he/she doesn’t like it.. then move it deeper maybe (since they are usually around the surface). Just use your best judgement to see what your fish prefers. I know it’s tough to read.. but do your best. You don’t want too much current either remember. A medium sized pump will do just fine. Don’t go overboard.

• I agree with using lots of water flow! Another addition that no one has mentioned yet is that water current helps take the fish’s minds off aggression. If a fish has to think about how they can keep moving in the right direction in the water.. it helps them from thinking about having aggression with other fish. I used to have problems with fish fighting and a friend of mine told me to add a couple water pumps… problem fixed!
• The way I see it IF YOU are going to use the electrical power to use a powerhead.. why not use another filter. Use another canister filter that puts out some good current with a spray bar or something. I feel like powerheads are a waste of electric when it could be another filter instead.
• Not really that valid because some of the wavemakers use very little power when in comparison to a canister filter. Look up the electricity specs and you will be surprised. It doesn’t take much power to push a tiny fan in water (wavemaker).

Posted by James N: When your fish is getting the best diet possible you can plan on it growing around 2″ per month. These things grow FAST! One of the most important factors when feeding fish is variety. Maybe one day feed them crickets then the next feed them live fish. Make sure that you are adding a carnivore pellet in there too. They need the vitamins from the fish food sticks. Even though these will be their least favorite of all the foods. Here is a top rated brand

Posted by Amanda P: I think the main part is making sure the fish are getting massive amounts of protein from the best foods like crickets and other fish. Then the vitamins fish NEED from the fish food. It’s sometimes hard to get my arowanas to even eat the pellet sticks… Sometimes I will wait days and somewhat make them super hungry and throw the pellets in. They get so hungry they don’t even know what theyre eating.

• Are you admitting to starving your fish??
• Your joking right.. I said that I wait days so that they are more hungry. I never once used the word “starve” in my statement.
• People do this all the time. I starve my fish until they eat the fish food (vitamins they need)! A variety of different foods is very important! Even if it’s not what they want. It’s a lot like having smaller kids… they can’t eat candy all the time.

Posted by Ashley B: Is black golden arowana and peral arowana the same ???… Im a beginner in arowana…wat arowana do you recommend it shld be friendly n interactive n low maintenance.

• My Top 3 Arowana (1) Electric Blue Base Cross back Arowana (2) High- Back Red Tail Golden Arowana (3) Red Tail Golden Arowana When you said Panda Gold.. you are refering to a certain Farm not a type of arowana. i guess one of the best farm so far known to me is (1) Pang Long (2) Merlion (3) Qian Hu (4) Kim Kang
• I agree with you on that one, my uncle bought a Silver arowana about 18 years ago for 5,000 when it was about 1 year old. But also, it is how people want to spend their money. Its like how quite a few people in the US spend money on exotic cars, super fast computers, and other materials. It all comes down to how people believe they should spend their money; some on fishes that cost a fortune and other on cars that cost a fortune. In the end it comes down to want we want, not what we need.
• my top 3 arowanas are 3.super red arowana-reason: it looks sexy 2. Jaridini arowana-reason: Ive owned one for a long time and it was my first arowana 1. Silver Arowana-reason: I love the white ice color and I like that they’re peaceful compared to other arowanas.
• When I first started fish keeping I had a 120 gallon community tank (angel fish, rams, SAE, clown loaches, dension barbs) I was at the pet and a fish was limited time offer. it was a baby jaridini. when I got home it was late so I just put him in the tank then fell asleep then next morning all the fish were dead. The clown loaches survived since they were big. The jaridini lives in a 180 gallon now.
• My dad had an Red Arowana of some kind when he was young and the silver Arowana always followed him around until it died during the process of my dad’s filtration. He used air pumps on big sponges that worked really good.
• My dad had an Red Arowana of some kind when he was young and the Arowana always followed him around until it died during the process of my dad’s filtration. ):
• The only reason why silver isn’t #1 is because it’s cheap and common.  Having owned all 3, the jardini and asians look like salmon lol.  If you look hard enough, you’ll find a seller in the US even though they’re illegal.  A 12″ gold, red, chili, panda, xback etc… will cost ~$7500 USD minimum.
• my first choice is definitely not Panda gold. In fact, in my country Singapore, Panda Gold is considered one of the lowest grade of Asian Arowana. U can view my youtube, which i post only 1, a Bluebase XB. U can see the snake skin cheeks, the crossing of scales up to level 6, the blue core scales from level 1. This piece is worth 10 times a panda gold in Singapore. I am valuing a fish based on its amount. But compared asian aro itself. And i do have silver aro at home now. My choice will be Bluebase XB, Blue base red aro and silver aro.

Posted by Nate D: Using an air pump for your aquarium can help a lot of different factors. I would suggest using multiple air lines and put sponge filters on them. That is just more added filtration to your tank and they do work better than you think. AND you are also getting the air bubbles floating to the surface to create that surface agitation which in turn creates lots of oxygen in the water for your fish. It’s a great way to go. Don’t worry about current with Aros! They do just fine with it. I see tanks all the time with Aros like this.

When getting an air pump I suggest buying the pumps made by ActiveAqua. These pumps are super quite and have been around for ages. They have thousands of 5 star reviews and I have almost a dozen of them running in my house at all times. Here is a link to one too

Here is the sponge filter too. Not sure if you’ve ever used them.. Basically you just hook them up to the air hose end and let them run. They pull water in while pushing air out. Squeeze them out in a bucket of water maybe once a month. Here is a link to the ones I buy

Posted by Ashley J: I have always kept a lot of current in my arowana tanks. My silver species especially loves the current. It’s almost like he plays in the current. I also went to the sponge filter setup too and have no doubts on that. I would highly suggest it. The amount of beneficial bacteria those things grow is crazy. And on top of your regular filter running… its a huge benefit. I want to get another silver to put with mine.

• I AGree with current! I like the current in my tanks because I can feed them dead food and have the current make it spin around like it’s alive. It tricks the fish every time! I use a spray bar that squirts water out of a pipe into the tank and they don’t mind.
• I use a canister filter mixed with the air sponge filters. No REGRETS
• Is that all you guys keep around here is Silvers??? Who has something better haha
• ^^ other species are super expensive! Not about to drop 500 dollars on a fish.

Posted by Megan J: I don’t like the sound of the bubbles in the water at night while i’m trying to sleep. Could I turn the aerator off when I got to sleep at night?

• That would be a stupid thing to do because the fish just can’t stop receiving oxygen just because you want to sleep… are the bubbles really keeping you AWAKE….?!
• Another option if the noise bothers you is buy a plain air pump and air stone for night oxygen. Oscars seem to need more oxygen then other fish. I also find it can cause other issues with still water and large tanks. Do they like current do you think?
• Am not using any air bubbler in my tank.. i just have a normal filter , which i switch on 1 hr daily…… But i recommend an air pump or a power head.
• I would rather have a sponge filter than a powerhead.. More effective with filtration.
• A power head helps keep the tanks tempture even and if set up in the right place in the tank it can help the filter clean if you position your bubbler under it ..it promotes bacteria growth…the way I have my filter and power head set up my water circulations in a circle..I can put a small piece of a plant leaf in the tank and watch it circle around the tank.
• I have a small spray bar that pushes the water around my tank and a surface skimmer attached to my inlet pipe.

• All oscars have a white spot right there. its actually a rub scar. Oscars are very friendly fish. Just as friendly as a dog. When they see their masters they rub up against the glass hoping you would feed him.
• I’m pretty sure the glass won’t be as rough as sandpaper and it wouldn’t cause that white spot so that Oscar is wild caught .
• Nope, you are wrong. I purchased my Oscar from Petco a year ago. He was only about 1 – 1.5 inches long. A year later he is now 10 inch., and has a white bump/spot on his lip. It is from running into and rubbing against the glass, as they do it constantly to attract attention. Usually because they always want to feed all the time, just like dogs. Oscars are very aggressive eaters. they also like to scoop up the rocks from the bottom, which also adds to the bump on the lip, and spit them out on the other side of the tank.
• I’ve owned MANY oscars over the years and I’ve kept all of them with gravel. I’ve never had a single one of them eat gravel and die lol.
• And i keep him with pike jack Dempsey’s pleco’s bichirs and a tire track eel, bear min for ONE is 55 not two. I also kept silver arowanas for years.
• That really all depends on how on top of cleaning and changing water you are. I have two 10 inch. Oscars in a 60 gallon, for a year now. No problems what so ever. Though I do keep to a strict twice a week water change of at least 50% with one of those being a full cleaning. But I am upgrading so they will be able to stretch their legs out a little more so to speak.
• my oscar is 3 years old it takes time for them to get that big.
• I don’t have any context for what you just said. My Oscars are only 1 year old and are at 10 inch. now. I was told they should hit adult size( about 10 inch.) in 1 year. Keep hearing that you must have at least 55 gallons per adult Oscar. I find that to be true if one is lax on cleaning.
• ?adlut size can be more than 10 inches, like i said my oscar is 15 inches and he’s in a 125
• An oscar is considered at adult size at around 10 inch.. And yes, they do get much, much bigger. The local aquatic shop had an albino at 18.5 inch..
• hell I got 2 Oscars 10 inches eatch in my 80 gallon tank and they never mess with my corey catfish n bought a feeder goldfish a year witch they didn’t an is know 7 inches.
• Who told you that you can’t have nothing but Oscars in one tank because I have one oscar with a blood parrot, red devil, 3 jack dempsey and 2 sharks.
• I love the way they move plants around and beat on them its hilarious I also love how there so happy to see there owner feeding time or not haha.
• I have a 120 gallon tank with a large Oscar, a Red Striped Earth Eater, a Jack Dempsey and a Convict. They have been fine, up until recently as it looks like the Jack and the Red have been corning the Oscar trying to take over his territory. He has been darker in color and huddling in the corner. Though he is much larger than the others, he isn’t really aggressive. Any advice, before he gets too stressed?

Posted by Jesse R: The core of their diet should consist of pellets to ensure that are receiving the nutrition they need. They make some super good carnivore pellets that are stacked with protein. The main thing you need to watch for is QUALITY though.. there are so many crappy brands claiming to be the best. I would buy a brand that has been around for ages and everyone talks about. Here is some top rated stuff I use

As snacks I feed mine krill, bloodworms, frozen silversides, crickets and crushed baby mystery snails and if you can get them to accept them a high quality carnivore pellet. You may find that your fish reject the pellets from time to time.. but all you need to do is wait it out. Give them a couple days to grow a stronger hunger which makes them feed on the pellets. Don’t feel bad.. the pellets are a huge importance to their diet and health.

• I Agree! I also think it’s important to get your fish on pellets at a young age. This gets them use to eating them. If you feed them only the “best live” foods.. they will never touch the pellets and that could be a problem.
• If you use the trick where you starve them for a couple days that usually works! People have to remember these fish can go weeks without eating too. I’ve gone 3 full weeks without my fish eating. I was super worried but they came back eating very strong after that. Sometimes… fish just get weird and don’t feel like eating.
• Not sure if I agree with “fish just not eating” I believe something is wrong with the water most likely. Animals eat when they are hungry and that’s just how mother nature works. If they stop eating for weeks… soemthign is wrong. That’s just my opinion though.

@Reply: That’s why I went on about how I’m not responding about tank size and hate lol. All species including the silver eat pretty much the same right?

@Reply: Oscar pellets or “Large Cichlid Pellets” work great. Here is an attached image of Omega One’s top seller for large cichlids from Amazon.com. Use these pellets with other live foods. You want a variation of diet.

@Reply: I feed mine mice, baby birds worms ,pinkies ,Oscar pellets, he would eat anything.

@Reply: Guppies, pellets, mealworms.

@Reply: One of the biggest factors to feeding aquarium fish is to randomize it. No animal should be eating the same exact thing every single meal. A lot of people screw this up. As long as you make sure the fish has some good protein in it’s diet it will do fine. They are very hungry fish and will continue to eat in a ravenous state. I had an Aro years ago and that thing would eat anything you put inside the tank (including your hand if you weren’t careful). Hopefully this helps.

Do Arowanas Eat Pellets?

The core diet of your fish should be pellet sticks. There was a great brand posted above (Hikari Carnivore Floating Pellets). The reason pellets are so important is because they are full of the vitamins that fish need. If they just feed on whatever they want all the time.. they wouldn’t be obtaining the needed nutrition. It’s a lot like a smaller child eating whatever they want.. not good for their health.

*Side note: If you don’t want the fish to be super aggressive try to kill the food right before feeding it to them. This makes it so the Arowana doesn’t have to make the kill itself and it works less and somewhat gets used to this. This makes the fish less aggressive by nature (they say). But remember that these fish are one of the most aggressive and powerful aquarium fish hobbyists can keep as pets.

@Reply: They are strictly Carnivores right? I would suggest Pandragram Carnivore then.

@Reply: Sorry man don’t have the heart to feed mice or birds or guppies and no they are not.

@Reply: Then Pandragram omnivore…. It’s a very high quality food, I love it!

@Reply: Krill and shrimp…occasion live crickets… ive used the San Francisco bay brand of frozen krill, along with the omega one dried krill…for shrimp i usually buy shrimp fresh from market as a treat…and for crickets i buy from feed stores rather than the commercial big box pet stores…and i agree hikari has its challenges nowadays.

A feed store are those local stores that sell bulk pet foods for all sorts of animals like horses, swine, birds, etc…wherever you live google ‘feed store’ and see what you come up with…i started going to them to buy pig food for my pet and then haven’t been back to a big box pet store since.

@Reply: I used to keep crickets and feed them very well. Then feed them to my old aro. He loved them. I fed him all kinds of stuff but he loved crickets. I only used feeder crickets from the pet store though, because they were clean and softer bodied.

Reply from Kevin J.
I did a lot of research on this year ago because due to how much I was fishing, the price of bait was really starting to add up. I go fishing almost everyday so it was getting expensive as heck for me to buy them. With some in depth research, I’m happy to say that my minnows are staying alive a lot better.

Keeping Water Temperature Low

This is the most crucial factor. What happens is bait buckets only hold a small amount of water and that water becomes hot very easily in the summertime with the sun shinning on it. You need to strive to keep this water temperature at what the lake would be or if not cooler.

Pour Old Water Out, Then Add

People think that if they just toss the bait pale into the lake that new water will filtrate into that bucket. It doesn’t assure new water in the bucket just by putting it in the water. Pour out old water and put some new water in manually. Most bait buckets have screens in the side that make it really easy to do this. This makes sure your bait has new water.

Add a Bubbler Aerator to Bait

A main killer to minnows is lack of oxygen in that small amount of water in the bait bucket. You can little aerators that plug in for $10 and they have a little stone at the end where bubbles come out and its very powerful! Don’t ever underestimate an aerator for your bait fish.

Keep Up with Water Changes

When your not fishing on the off days, you still have to go change the water in the bait bucket. If your using it straight out of faucet, look at getting a water drop conditioner to rid the chlorine of the faucet water so it doesn’t kill the fish.

Hopefully that helps! It has helped me incredibly.

Whats the Best Bait for Crappies?

Topic: I have been told that this water hole down the road from me has crappies that are biting really hot right now. I want down there with a daredevil but didn’t catch anything. What is the best bait for crappie when it is spring time? I’m not really a crappie guy but if they are biting.. I will have fun catching them. Thanks for the help.

Reply from Tony L.
Your going to have the best luck with smaller baits since it is spring time. I’m sure they are in shallow water breeding and they strike anything that comes near their nest so the fishing is probably amazing. If you fillet a crappie up and cool it you will love their white juicy taste. I would compare it to sunfish and even walleye and perch.

Reply from Donny Z.
Go buy some small worms like larvae wax worms an small minnows. In Minnesota here, we have actual crappie minnows that are used for these fish but maybe you don’t have them. They will strike on smaller jigs with springtime. In the fall they will bite on larger baits. You Bette hurry though because when the fish are biting, you want to be there as quick as possible. Anything in the weather could change it. I used to have an oscar in a tank but it died years later.

Reply from Larry N.
Crappies are my favorite fish to catch and eat. They have the panfish taste like a sunfish but much bigger fillets. A super large sunfish is 1 lb and a super big crappie is around 2 lbs if that gives you and idea. I’m looking to catch a couple 2 pounders to have them mounted together on my wall together. I have one d them bit still need to catch the other two so I have 3 total around a large piece of driftwood.

The best way to use crayfish for catching bass is to hook the crayfish in the tail and that way when you reel in the line it looks like it is naturally swimming like a Crawdad would. I like in Wisconsin and have tried using these a bait numerous times but never have any luck. You can also hook them between the eyes carefully without killing them. I find that way to be difficult but maybe you can master it better. Like I said, I’ve never had luck here in Wisconsin but maybe I’m fishing the wrong spots or the wrong time of year.

Comment Posted:
I do know that catfish especially love these things and if you crack open the tail and use just the tail on your hook of bait… your going to slam a catfish. That is a delectable meal for a catfish because they can’t get into that shell or they can.. but it’s just very tough for them to open it up with their mouths. What happens at times is that the Crawdad gets attacked and ripped open a lot of the time and the catfish eats up bits and pieces of it. I have caught crawdads just to rip off the tail and just use those for catfish.

Comment Posted:
Largemouth love these in the spring time especially because when the younger crawdads are in their youth they stupidly walk the bottoms and the fish gobble up these babies like scrambled eggs. Crustaceans reproduce in huge numbers so there are tons of them swimming around in the spring. In the fall though… it’s somewhat rare because the smart crawdads hide during the daylight and come out at night when fish and predators can’t see them.

Comment Posted:
If you fish with them in small rivers you will do incredible. That’s where these little creatures are mostly so it’s common to see them and fish know this. I have tons of luck with northern pike hitting them and they put up a fight. As far as artificial or fake ones… Always know that real bait dominates fake every single day of the week. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

I don’t know man… I have some pretty darn good artificial ones that look just like crawdads and you don’t even have to mess around touching those wicked nasty lobster punchers!! I hate touching those things to put them on the hook. The big ones hurt like a bleeding cut. I hate them. I’m on board with artificial all day.

Comment Posted:
If you grab the midsection and are very slow with your movements they are very easy to hold. I would rather put on one of these then a giant leech but I guess that’s my opinion. So your afraid to touch a crustacean but I bet you love eating lobster don’t you?! Haha. I can understand being grossed out though.

I can do leeches like a champion but when it comes to those pinchers and dangly little legs.. I freak out like a school girl who forgot to put on her makeup. It’s quite funny I guess and my buddies have actually thrown one in my sleeping bag to watch me scream like a 9 year old.

The post Do Bass Fish Like Eating Crayfish? appeared first on Arowana Fish.

Pro’s agree that a more subtle action draws strikes from the larger fish.  Because big bass are undoubtedly the wiser of the group, it takes a much more realistic approach to coax them into biting.  Swimbaits with the large wiggle can sometimes scare off trophy bass but will maintain a high percentage of smaller 3-4 lb. fish.  So if you are out to catch one massive fish, it is better to choose a swimbait that has a very subtle action with not much side to side action.  Many top swimbait fishermen are fishing baits with little to no action, favoring their low-key antics over the more pronounced counter-parts that seem to be in mass production right now.

The gear you use for swimbaiting very important and detrimental to you success or failure on the water.  Use big, heavy tackle, such as a 7-8 foot medium-heavy rod that has a very strong backbone for fighting monster fish and casting heavy lures, but a soft enough tip to allow the lure to move naturally through the water.

Fishing line should be kept to monofilament, as braid is too visible and will be seen by the bass, and flourocarbon too stiff for the natural action you seek.  The drag system on the reel is the most important aspect to using the proper reel for swimbaits.

Make sure you have a tough drag and lock it down tight so when you do hook a bass, you can get him to the boat in a hurry and out away from any snags.  Lastly, don’t be afraid to cast these rather expensive lures into heavy cover.  Sure you may lose a few that cost a lot of money, but at least you know you are fishing in the prime areas to catch a trophy.

The post What are Swimbaits? Used for What? appeared first on Arowana Fish.

Thus they feed drastically less during the winter months than they do in the summer.  Another consideration is the time of day they feed and how long they spend finding forage.  Largemouth will live in the deeper haunts but move up the shallow water to chase prey for at most one to two hours during the early afternoon period.  This is the time when the sun is at its highest and the water surface is warming its quickest.

A great tip for these cold and often blustery conditions is to find deep-edged channel breaks or banks where fish can hide in deeper water and move up shallow during the warming parts of the day.  Lures such as slow jigs and deep diving crankbaits tend to perform better than fast moving lures such as Rat-L-Traps or chatterbaits.  Spinnerbaits should not be part of your arsenal as baitfish are not moving that quickly.

If you are slow-rolling spinnerbaits, then you may be able to produce, but otherwise, stay away from spinnerbaits.  Pay close attention to weather patterns and look for cold and/or warm fronts approaching your lake.  Often with a warm front, high pressure systems drive bass shallow and tend to increase feeding activity and plankton.  Cold fronts and other associated low-pressure systems bring forth dormant plankton activity and thus negate energy levels of forage, in turn diminishing foraging opportunities for bass.
