I’ve been having a few issues with Arnie, he took a serious beating from Bert (the Zebra Tilapia) , why a 22″ Arrowana, should have a problem with an 8″ African Tilapia, I don’t know, so I’ve removed Bert (the Zebra Tilapia) from the Oddball tank, leaving Arnie and a few large clown loaches. However, Arnie did stopped feeding, so I’ve got him feeding again on Live Crickets! He didn’t like Locusts (nor did I, difficult things to feed), but Ernie loved them!
I’ve been meaning to get some photographs of Arnie for a while, But he’s very difficult to photograph, as he moves so quick, so here’s are a few quick photos
Arnie The Silver Arrowana

Arnie The Silver Arrowana
and here’s a quick video clip
I’m trying to rear him off muscles, because of the high fat content may have caused slight drop-eye, in one of his eyes. So he’s currently on a diet of raw tiger prawns, I’m going to try him soon on crickets, wax worms and earthworms. He’s not keen on a dry food at present.
The balance of power has changed in my 6 foot oddball tank, after introducing Arnie (the Arrowana), after 24 hours, I noticed that Ernie the Giant red tail gourami, had been attacked, I’m not sure if it was by Bert (the Zebra Tilapia) or Arnie (the Arrowana).
So I’ve moved Ernie into the large quarantine tank with Cedric II! (the rescued pleco!).
I’ve got a new tankmate for Bert (the Zebra Tilapia) and Ernie (the Giant red tail gourami), a Silver Arowana, Osteoglossum bicirrhosum, and he’s called Arnie!
I’ll take some pictures, when he’s settled in to his new surroundings.
