Gerrit Coonraad - 7 years ago

In the United States, it is illegal to own or import any species of the Asian arowana. The Asian arowana was originally Scleropages formosus, but has since been split into several different species -- all protected. The species is listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List.

dude i read that you can keep him in a dark bucket or something for a day or atleast 8 hours and when you put him in a new tank or a rearranged same tank it will disorient him and hell be docile until he figures out new territories.

can I keep 2 arowana in same tank, I have silver around. almost 1foot long. I have tried tankmates like pirahanas and parrot fish but it won't work. plz help me out.

Hanim - 7 years ago

Major fish noob here but is the arowana aggressive because he is the biggest in the tank or because it's in the nature of the fish? I saw a vlog by someone who 'tamed' an aggressive yellow tang by placing a big picture of another yellow tang on the aquarium. Would that work with an arowana? Again, I know nothing about fish I'm just curious, don't roast me hahahah

Sapphire Girl - 7 years ago

We kept our Asian Arowana with 3 Oscars (2 male 1 female) and an electric catfish I can't for the life of me remember what he was other than that though he was given to us when the store we regulated just couldn't keep him because people kept putting their hands in his tank and grabbing him, he would then shock them and send them flying across the hall. I think he was the only reason my Oscars and Arowana got along though in part because they were the same size and couldn't get their mouth around each other but my electric catfish wouldn't tolerate any fighting as soon as they started chasing each other or biting he would fly up from his cave and shock the hell out of them leave them twitching at first I was worried about them but then I realized he only did it if they were fighting so I just let him take care of it lol and yes they were always okay no lasting damage just a little stunned. I miss that little blue eyed sausage he was really cool.

Mike Bottiaux - 8 years ago

I had an Arrowana I purchased back in 1985 the cost being $75. I would go to that pet store often in hopes of someday buying that fish. After a successful trip to the horse races my spouse finally succumbed to my constant requests for the Arrowana!12 yrs later the fish passed on and I had her freeze dried. Now almost 20 yrs later I still have her

Sad Onion - 8 years ago

what do you use as medication for internal parasites? I know this is an old video, but I really need some help with treating some fish i have in quarantine.

Pisces - 7 years ago

Sad Onion it depends on the parasite. My 12 gallon tank suffers from white spot (a fungal disease) so I use nox-ich which I find to be the best treatment. I also have tetras so I have to use less than what is prescribed. Also this medicine would kill invertebrates. My betta tank sometimes suffers from fin rot which is a bacteria disease. I use this treatment especially made for bettas (I don't remember the brand name)

Parker Carver - 8 years ago

I'm sorta new to keeping larger fish but wouldn't some loaches,oscars,or plecos. Be good to keep with him? I know they get big and loaches and plecos would stay at the bottom, and not attack him. Idk like I said I'm new to keeping big fish.

KrispyAquascape - 8 years ago

Joey. When you used to keep silver arowanas, how were their behavior like? Do they ever come up to you and stay there with you with close interactions or did they always swim around? I want to get a black aro and wanted to know if it'll slow down to interact with me when I'm around. Do they ever slow their pace down enough to be close with you or do they have to keep on swimming? If not, I think I'll opt out for a jardini. I want an aro that knows me and will stay still sometimes.

True, bit this particular species I'd new to the fish market. And it's also the start of a new breeding era, so people in the future don't have to wild catch these fish.

Just a Quad - 8 years ago

+Sciddly Boogly You don't domesticate fish; that isn't domestication. Usually the fish you get have been bred in captivity and thus there shouldn't be a need to take some from the wild.

Sciddly Boogly - 8 years ago

Just a Quad all animals were wild caught at one point. it's just domestication. what would be truly cruel is if they went to an unaccomplished owner, which this guy certainly isn't

you should look into buying some datnoids they hold their own in groups and are beautiful to look at. many people keep them with arowana as well. they max out at 20inches

Handsomebeantv - 8 years ago

Is there a reasons there's no decorations or plants? Or do the fish not need them?

Kelvin Aung - 8 years ago

currently, I have a Silver Jardini Arowana and it's been with us for about 5 years and the tank seems kinda empty. I was wanting to add a second Arowana to fill up some of the empty space. My tank is 72in X 24in X 28in and the Arowana is about 15-17in long. The new Red Jardini one I'm wanting to get is 3-5 inches long from the online supplier.My question is, how do I properly introduce the new Jardin to my tank without my Arowana trying to eat the new one? I don't want the new Jardini to become a 450$ meal lol.

You should look into getting some of the big cat fish. Super aggressive and just like the arowana will eat anything they can fit in their mouths. You have the tank size for them too. Red tail cat. Tiger shovel nose. Or even a cross of the two

From 1 to 10 what place is garlic for parasites in general?

Killerhigs - 8 years ago

Garlic does nothing for parisites. Garlic simply makes fish want to eat which in turn gives the fish a more fighting chance against the parisites. If you wanna get rid of a parisite. You have to treat the water or fish

oh, i live the intro, your arowana literally seems to be listening and acknowledging you

Jakattack13579 Wise - 8 years ago

I know right

Matt Rossey - 8 years ago

Joey, they are amazingly incredible, I'm totally jealous. Maybe you'll luck out and they breed. If so, put me on the list for a few of the fry. I also want tank mates for the silver arowana i have, in 2 1/2 months he's grown 2 full inches. His tank mate since babies ghost knife hasnt grown much, but, time will tell, the knife was 8 inches when i got them both. Also lovin the new 375, and am thinking maybe its time for a basement apartment so i can get atleast a 300 myself. The most recent videos are above and beyond past videos, your really getting into it deeply and its showing!!!!!!!

Kasper The Ghost - 8 years ago

Watched your videos for years now, and just have to say, keep up the great work. Have learn tons from you.
Was wondering if you have done a video on controlling/eliminating unwanted snails from a freshwater tank. Currently have a zebra Pleco tank setup that's is being over run by trumpet snails, and have tried many remedies. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.Look forward to more vids in the near future.
PS, Arowana looks great!!!

Red Lotus - 8 years ago

Joey, is that tank an appropriate size for a full grown Asian Arowana and all those silver dollars? I was under the impression an arowana needs a 500 gallon at least for an adult.

redlion1612 - 8 years ago

THEY'RE NICE..

lizzyanthus1 - 8 years ago

Awesome! I've never heard of these fish, but they look pretty awesome. I see why they are called 'red hook'. Glad we got to finally see what you got for the Arrowana's tank mates! Thanks! Can't wait to continue the adventure when you introduce him into the new tank with his new buddies. Looking forward to it!

How many takes did it take you to get the intro? haha

Destiny's Pet Project Dog Rescue - 8 years ago

I am becoming less and less interested in your content. I am also not a fan of people getting wild caught fish. These poor fish were in their native habitat hanging out and doing what fish do. You paid someone (probably some poor person) an enormous amount of money to essentially kidnap them from their paradise and put them in a watery grave you call an aquarium, to see IF they MIGHT get along with the PROVEN killer fish you already have. There are plenty of fish that have been bred in captivity that you could have bought. Also your gigantic tank is not something I think I would ever have or want. I am not understanding your bizarre reasoning for the content you are putting out for the last year or so. Only one or two video's have been geared toward me, the relatively small (4 tanks ranging from 10 to 95 gallons) novice fish keeper who is looking to save some money and do some EASY INEXPENSIVE DIY projects to my fish tanks. I am becoming extremely disappointed in your style and content.

Joey amazing fish! I knew they were silver dollars. I have the same ones and they are awesome and active and definitely eager eaters

Shankhadeep Sarkar - 8 years ago

Hey Joey,

First of all, let me begin with a compliment that I'm sure you would have received countless times before - your videos are so much informative and fun to watch! And the name of your channel is so well suited.
Coming to this video, it actually ended a prolonged question I have been thinking about - which fish would be the best tank mate for my Arowana? On a dare, I put in 2 pairs of a fish species about 6 months back and they all seem to be doing great in the tank. And when I started watching this video of yours, I swear I had my fingers crossed, hoping I did not make the wrong decision. And when you revealed the fish that you opted for, voila! I I was so relieved! I too have put in Silver dollars in with my Arowana (He is a Silver Arwoana and I named him Sobek, after the Ancient Egyptian God of the Nile). Another thing that I considered apart from the list you mentioned is how shiny these fish are. I thought that would distract the Arowana and keep him from singling one of the fish out.

Now, at the risk of appearing somewhat stupid, here's another question that I need your help with - would it be advisable to add a Black Ghost Knife Fish to the tank?
My tank is 4 feet wide and has a depth of 3 feet (I plan to transfer y fish to a bigger one as they grow) and I have used sand as a substrate and placed large rocks as hardscape. There are cave-like formations where the Black Ghost may take cover. Sobek is almost a feet long now and the Silver Dollars are 3-4 inches each.

Could you please help me out with this?

P.S.: Please excuse the lengthy comment; but as a fellow hobbyist I hope you understand the excitement. :-)

Thanks,
Shankh

New fish is always a great feeling. I've been kinda down lately because the last two new fish, both of which I loved, passed away overnight within a couple of days (one was velvet, the other was an unseasonably cold night that I wasn't prepped for.) Soon I'll have another, though, because my fiancee is going to replace my birthday fish. I'm excited for that. Hopefully it will be similar to the temperament of the other.

thebeastisback1996 - 8 years ago

I called it! I was thinking silver dollar the whole time you were listing your requirements!! I love these guys I have 6 common ones with my Texas cichlid and they make the best tankmates. Always fast and peaceful, but always get their food too.

I can't till I have a tank big enough for the big wild caught varieties. Have you seen the wide bar silver dollars? another beautiful species.

SoulJimyDark - 8 years ago

wouldnt you will be putting some gravel sand and or rocks? maybe a dark substrate will be awesome to those silver fish! (the arowana would look awesome in some dark gravel/substrate)

2 would likely fight to the death. At $2K a pop... i cant afford to take those risks. I would need a least 6-8 for them to be ok together. Again, i dont have that kind of money.

Andrew cameron - 8 years ago

its a neutral rock so it wont affect water ph. so you could use it in every tray. i still have bio balls and ceramic rings in mine tho with 3 stages of mechanical in the bottom. my rings are used in below the first mechanical basket to catch all the heavy debris tho.

haha it was awesome. He does that all the time, so it worked out perfectly.

Dragon Fish Arowana - 8 years ago

Gratz on your new fish. I think those new fish look awesome. The only thing I would suggest is to give them time to bulk up a little since they look a little slim. These new fish are going to color up and they already look amazing. Good choice man. I suppose you can always use a Pacu. I would suggest a trigrinum catfish...they are really expensive and awesome. Having said all this with an Asian Arowana it is always a gamble so good luck bud. I enjoy your videos, thank you for sharing and keep making them.

Ramon Rivera - 8 years ago

Hey Joey I'm a huge fan and am saving up for a signed copy of your book! Couple question thou what did you use to treat the red hooks for internal parasites? And can the same medication be used for saltwater? Last one haha, do you have a video out on how you set up your QT?
Thanks again man your awesome to watch and learn from! #kingofdiy

Snoekvisser1972 - 8 years ago

I was thinking Oscars at first. Good luck with the tank, you need a break after the ray fiasco...

moises - 8 years ago

If he's as aggressive as you make it seem, I don't see this working nor being your best bet. You'd be better off with bottomed dwellers such as bichirs, or large armored catfish, like an irwini. Something that won't be in his face, and is actually tough enough to take what he dishes out. I wouldn't say you should call it quits after the silver dollars because they aren't a good idea to begin with in my opinion, if he's as aggressive as you say.

matdex2002 - 8 years ago

1.how much was your arowana.
2.how big is your arowana.
3.how big will your arowana get.
Also for a bottom feed get a large pelco it fits all of the standards except shoaling an, but they have spines in their face and fins but they are armoured, and they eats EVERYTHING I have 1 and it rekt one of my plants to a stick but the best thing of pelcos is their colour but in a video you said you were colour blind.
hope you reply but i just want this info so i could save for a aisian arowana
p.s. somebody said they get to 4ft and you need a 16ft long tank so is this true.

So I did my best and kept upgrading the tank to 120gal but he (yea it´s a male) outgrew this tank pretty fast!
Right now my little nutcracker (´cause I used to feed him peanuts, Myleus love nuts!) is living in a 250gal tank with 7 more M.rubripinnis and about 10 Metynnis maculatus.

Of course I do miss this fish.
I´ve got him with 4cm in length and he grew to about 22cm.
Have fun with these beautiful fish!
Good luck.

I KNEW IT!

I kept repeating aloud to myself Silver Dollars...Silver Dollars....I'm discovering they may make the best dither fish to accompany naturally aggressive species; and yours are wild caught.

Joey, you ROCK!

MyView 10.75.69 - 8 years ago

That is soooo bad ass, cant wait for the video of you putting the Arowana in there and see how it goes.

TheCalcarAvis - 8 years ago

awesome intro!!! i laughed so hard!

turbo 906 - 8 years ago

Very cool, hopefully everything goes well. They will definitely make your Arowana stand out, nice choice Joey!

mxs14 - 8 years ago

since there r more fish, there could be more algae so u should get a pleco for ur bottlm dweller :)

I Am - 8 years ago

I was hoping that you would be getting golden dorados

mxs14 - 8 years ago

wouldnt the tank be overstocked when they all grow too full size?

kuzbro simo - 8 years ago

yes i guess silver dollars not red silver dollars lol

ichisuke ryu - 8 years ago

Problem is the longer you isolate the fish in the community the more they become aggresive and intolerant

J. Blom - 8 years ago

What light do you use in your tanks...that awesome blue light

Andrew cameron - 8 years ago

check his diy vids. he makes them

Violent Hacker - 8 years ago

you should get a flowerhorn

wantsome480 - 8 years ago

Cool fish I've seen a lot of fish over the past 25 years but I've never seen those before. Have you ever thought about catfish to go with your arrowana? A big pleco like a panaque would look nice in your set up.

BR RA - 8 years ago

Have you tried to make ponds in your backyard? You would do great things with it

Perry Li - 8 years ago

Giant bichirs!!!

NW Marine62 - 8 years ago

good pick for the arrowana. I had wild caught red hooks when I was housing central & SA cichlids. you're right they are very varocious eaters once they get used to their environment..

thebrownman - 8 years ago

that intro was actually pretty cool made me laugh how the fish stayed there when u were talking to it

Acuario Ibicencio - 8 years ago

This video was perfect! HAHAHAH

James McGaghey - 8 years ago

The silver dollars will do fine I had a school of 4 in my tank with my silver arowana(Aries - named that because he killed 3 other silver arowana's he was bought with) he was 27" when I lost him about 2 years ago in a 2 week power outage during a snow storm. His favorite treat was ghost shrimp :P

Robert Gonzalez - 8 years ago

nice fish I ben wanting some silver dollars

I like the beginning of the video

Matthew Brown - 8 years ago

some type of catfish for a bottom dweller would be awesome

Алексей Климов - 8 years ago

The discus is much better and more beautiful.

David Matsunaga - 8 years ago

but not compatible with arowana

Dee From Brooklyn - 8 years ago

I kept those and Oscars with my snakehead and they were the only fish that didn't get picked on. Really big fish..

Chris Douglas - 8 years ago

They do look like a mean bunch of fish, it might be the arowana that gets picked on. keep it up Joey.

gustavo soares de figueiredo - 8 years ago

I sure tought they were going to be either, Bala Sharks or Tinfoil Barbs, guess I kinda forget the amazon big characins, seeing how close to them I live and how cheap/common they are here... (Not the Red Hooks, Albinos or those fancy ones... They get so damn expensive here...) You should probably get some 3-4 Uarus to make it up for the name Uarujoey.. Gold and Red Spotted Severums are also some nice fish...

oytun pastirma - 8 years ago

Stingray can also be ok.

visualkeirockstar - 8 years ago

my guess was close.

Mayur3tears - 8 years ago

How many tries did it take you to get that intro right, Joey? Haha

Joey whats the plan for the future tank? That arro and silver dollars are going to cramp that tank.

Riptide - 8 years ago

you should get tiger stripe silver dollars

Alexis Torres - 8 years ago

The Intro :D ahaha

MELODY MUNRO - 8 years ago

Red hooks are extremely rare in Australia...and if you find them..$50 each.

Jorge's Cool Pets - 8 years ago

I like the videos you make

Jorge's Cool Pets - 8 years ago

good video

Clark Casiño - 8 years ago

that intro though haha, it probably took a lot of takes before the arowana finally did it the way you needed it to, goodluck with the tank mates!

Private Duck - 8 years ago

I recommend a pleco for your tank

Min Ki Hwang - 8 years ago

Dat intro!

Niels E - 8 years ago

good choice, personality I would have got some wide bar instead of the red hook. as far as I know the event get little bit bigger.

Aqua Novice - 8 years ago

Great fish Joey

Ember Raven - 8 years ago

You could have done fully grown bala sharks

Steve Poland Cichlids - 8 years ago

Nothing better than new fish day!

Legenden69 - 8 years ago

You should get a big pleco

Fadhli Jaffar - 8 years ago

My silver dollars are so puny compared to yours. I literally got them for a dollar each though.

Outta line - 8 years ago

You could also try giant osphronemus gouramis or Oscars I've seen those work out in the same tank as arowanas

Davis Kropf - 8 years ago

congratz on the new fish! they look great!!

Joe - 8 years ago

That beginning was so funny

Ruben - 8 years ago

Those are some nice silver dollar man. I use to have a 4 of them and they're Vegetarian and they love plants plus there are in the Piranha family. I don't think he going to bother them. Thanks for sharing looking forward to the next video.

Henry Phan - 8 years ago

9 for feng shui?

GeneralGiggleMuffin - 8 years ago

Damn they look good. I was so close to guessing it right. I was thinking you got a few pacus. EH, close enough :\ Silver dollars are related to pacus anyway.

Killian Doran - 8 years ago

Fantastic editing at the beginning Joey!

razorXblueXeyes - 8 years ago

a barracuda would be cool ..

razorXblueXeyes - 8 years ago

+HigherPlanes maybe not the arrowana ...I have no idea ...

Shrimp Zoo - 8 years ago

can u do a video on your camera and gear setup you use for your youtube videos?

The king of DIY - 8 years ago

Just start making videos. It is all about the quality of content, not the quality of gear. I started making videos on a $100 point and shoot.

Shrimp Zoo - 8 years ago

+The king of DIY Yea an office tour would be cool too.
im trying to start a youtube channel and looking for inspiration.
you have an Amazing channel.

The king of DIY - 8 years ago

Sure! Some day i will. Office tour while im at it?

Ekram Ali - 8 years ago

Another fish which seem to work well with arowanas from experience are giant gouramis :3 plus they are beautiful

+The king of DIY I know haha fish deserve treats to (　^ω^)

The king of DIY - 8 years ago

For the arowana? That would be lunch to him!

Abyssal Axolotl - 8 years ago

Awesome choice! I've seen some silver dollars with whole chunks taken out of their body at some LFS and they act just fine. Obviously if your fish is missing body parts thats a huge problem, but the resilience of the fish is amazing. Most fish would've died from stress by that point.

Scarredninja - 8 years ago

Try big oscars!

MA FishGuy - 8 years ago

nice fish

The king of DIY - 8 years ago

Thanks MA

Kimberly Smith - 8 years ago

Ben Donaldson - 8 years ago

The king of DIY - 8 years ago

Very close then!

Bill Wassmann - 8 years ago

See you then Bill!
Maybe tonight?

Vivin Urf Baloo - 8 years ago

i thought you'd go with large tinfoil barbs. Schooling, large, peaceful, fast and eat all the garbage u throw at em :D
thats wh i got em in with my oscars and Severum..doing great (y)

VB Nauticool - 8 years ago

amazing. beautiful specimens

Loku - 8 years ago

Good choice! It's me or one of them has a flat head? It's normal?

Stevee b - 8 years ago

That 375 would make a amazing biotope! it would probably alleviate some of the aggression breaking up there line of sight sometimes.....awesome new fish!!

jrizzle421 - 8 years ago

nice addition. ive been thinking of adding a school of these in with my oscar. i do worry because he has killed every tankmate he has ever had. 2 oscars,jack dempsey, green terror, 2 convicts and a parachromis freidrichstahli. so im quite hesitant and will probably leave him alone for the remainder of his life

The Unknown - 8 years ago

my Oscar is very different from your oscars,her name is pepper and she's one of those white oscars,somehow she doesn't like to eat the smaller fish I put in her fish tank (probably because she's still a juvenile) I put two mollies and they have never been eaten by pepper,but I think when she's full grown then she'll probably start eating the smaller fish and acting more aggressive

Piele Van staden - 8 years ago

whey not a nother oscar

Nato_Potato - 8 years ago

I got a red devil in my tank which doesn't fight the with the other fish, But fights my hand and makes blood flow...

hereinsertname - 8 years ago

Haha you sound like you have an Oscar with a very similar personality to one I had for many years. If you make the mistake of buying fish that don't grow at the same rate (even if they are the same size as the Oscar when you buy them), the Oscar will eventually outgrow and kill them if you happen to own one with attitude problem. I had mine for 7 years and 5 of those were in solitary confinement. He killed probably a good 10-15 other fish I attempted to tank with him, including my 11-inch pleco' somehow,, which was actually fairly upsetting. The Oscar died of old age year and cost me a lot of money, but he is still my favourite fish I have ever kept,

TankHead Videos - 8 years ago

really sweet set up. I can't wait to see when tank is finished. thanks for sharing, good video!

mcartus - 8 years ago

some of the fish have red spots some don't have them why?

Christopher Heldgaard - 8 years ago

TheFishGuys - 8 years ago

What will you get for the bottom of the tank. I recommend bichirs or catfish

The king of DIY - 8 years ago

haha one/a few of those actually!

kenette laforteza - 8 years ago

all I want to know, how many takes did it took for that skit with the arowana lol

Jerry Decker - 8 years ago

Excellent!!!

Jerry Decker - 8 years ago

I am usually lurking in the background, but always try to tune in when you are live. I am extremely pleased with the new tank mates and the pending Tropheus for the in-wall (any new fish in the in-wall will do, but Tropheus are so fun) will give you that new fish feeling for a very long time... I am so stoked to see your future shows.... great work Joey!

The king of DIY - 8 years ago

Thanks Jerry! See you back in the facebook live stream soon i hope.

steven moreno16 - 8 years ago

Wilster Phung - 8 years ago

Ahhh the wait is finally over, and you did NOT disappoint. Awesome choice! I just got a 90 gollan tank, you think these would work well in that tank, and if they're schooling, how many you think would be good for a 90. or if they're going to get too big for it eventually?

Carlos cadme - 8 years ago

What about tinfoil barbs?

Wes Lee - 8 years ago

Interesting tank mate choice. Didn't expect that. Hope they become friends! And getting new fish is always so exciting!
