Blue-Base Cross Back Golden Arowana are three type officially known.

14.Feb.2014
3 type of the Blue-Base Cross Back Golden Arowana.

The officially known 3 type as following
1. Blue-Base Malayan Bonytongue   (藍底過背金龍)
2. Slender Frame Blue-Base Malayan Bonytongue   (細框藍底過背金龍)
3. Deep-Golden Blue-Base Malayan Bonytongue   (赤金藍底過背金龍)

Generally they are sales in the market all of "Blue Base X-Back".
But it's really different between No.1,2 & No.3 above mentioned.
In the market available only No.1&2, it's almost 99% and
getting growth change to ivory color.

Only No.3 "Deep-Golden" type are quite different, getting old and
getting more and more geting Blue color.

How we could find "Deep-Golden" type?
The answer as following may be....in order important items.
1. Selecting the "Farm".
2. Selecting Dark color fish and level lower shining one.
3. Selecting not "Slender Frame" type.
4. Don't selection appear "Blue" and bellow 20cm fish.
    (The real Blue-Base is not so blue at their small time.)

Also it's very important don't buy "not good appetite" fish.

Anyway, please refer following the video.

Thank you.
See you soon!

Nutritional Value of Diet (Feeder) for AROWANA

27.Dec.2013
Hi, i just up dated "Nutritional Value" of feeder for Arowana today
as following.

It's only refer and collect nutritional value from internet web site.
(but, i believe this value are almost correct or very close.)

Live Feeder (100g)	Protein (g)	Fat (g)	Calcium (mg)	Amino Acid (Protein x 0.165) g
Prawn	20	0.4	50	3.3
Feeder Fish (gold fish)	18	2.5	100	2.97
Loach	16	1.2	1,100	2.64
Crickets,	22	5.7	21.5	3.56
Grass Hopper	14.3	3.3	27.5	2.36
Super Worm	22	15.1	10.8	3.14
Earthworms	10	2.1	10.7	1.65
Centipede	10	1.4	?	1.65
Frog	14	0.4	190	2.31

Raw Diet (100g)	Protein (g)	Fat (g)	Calcium (mg)	Amino Acid (Protein x 0.165) g
Beef Heart	17	7.6	5	3.3
Chiken White Meat	23	0.8	5	2.97
Shelled Shrimp	14	0.4	40	2.64

We could choice any feeder for Arowana.
But native Arowana is Insectivorous Fishes to standard
from 100 million years ago...　

Lion to eat the meat, elephants to eat grass,
Dragonfly to eat insects, anteaters is to eat ants. . .
Little bit exaggerated? .

And the fish species is getting large continue up to their lifespan is famous.
I think the important thing that we might making grow them take time.
The lifespan of the Arowana are almost 25~30 years in aquarium right?

Shall we consider this matter.

Good Night!

I feel Arowana is very close to Trout....This an insectivorous fishes.....

27.Nov.2013

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.

http://ffworld.exblog.jp/i9/

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!
