Posting today "I feel the Arowana close to Trout (?)".

Please find the following picture are Landlocked Variety Salmon (Trout) Species.

They are an Insectivorous fishes and i feel very close to Arowana even face/shape.

English Name  : Whitespotted char

Scientific Name : Salvelinus leucomaenis 

English Name  : Land-locked trout

Scientific Name : Oncorhynchus masou maso (Brevoort)

English Name  : Arctic Char

Scientific Name : Salvelinus alpinus
This is most close to AROWANA i feel, it's not getting die after spawning and
life span is almost 40 years same as the Arowana.

Eggs hatched Salmon (Trout) Species has yolk sac.

The Fry are ready to start eating own, but it's mostly floating the insect's.

Those species really need clean fresh water and eating mostly the insect's.
It's really wrong, feed to them beef or chicken heart/meat....i believe.

The fishes getting lack of mineral/vitamins/calcium from fresh clean water 
as you know.
We have to consider "They are Insect Eater Species", they only some time 
eating other kind of foods like flog / fish / shrimp.

They never getting slim shape, during feed to them small amount of insects.
In my case the target length of arowana body is 5 years to be get over 50cm (20inch)
and i never making fat body.
So, really i need to feed insect's and i making them always hungry.

This is Fly Fishing site about Australian Arowana.

Please don't believe getting fat body shape, when feed insects.
The key point of keeping arowana is "Not feed to them too much".

Good night.
will see you soon!
