[@KGcichlids]

This is the same reason I removed all my mbuna, haps, and peacocks. It came down to that I like my frontosa a lot more. Good call Joey. And rays sound like a great idea!

[@KGcichlids]

Also because they killed one. To clarify

[@symbioticanimalalliance674]

Same here... I had black skirts with my 9 inch pleco in a community tank of neons, rosy's,Xrays,rasboras and two khuli loaches.. Just to have them be nipped up and attacked to the point I had to put them in a tank by themselves.. I got the skirts because I wanted some bigger fish to match prince tricky's size, without a aggressive nature. And in turn they became a battering toy for my Rasboras.. And since removed the Rassies and the Skirts to stop further conflicting interactions. But into tanks of mixed rasbora and mixed breed skirts. giving me two awesome 30 gallons with a variety of personalities. But without the hassle of community conflict. But it still left me with a huge tank in my room that I had plans to make asiatic and communal..I have since gone and adopted two clown loaches, a angel loach and a tiger loach. Of whom pack not only great speed, but some feisty personalities. And So far their getting along great as my pleco's cleanup crew. And are peaceful with the other tank mates who of late I replaced the Rasboras with Green Barbs. And the skirts with Celebes Rainbowfish. Both of whom have some aggression but only in their own schools. So the tank is finally where I want it. And while having a clown loach as a kid was the best thing in the world. I never thought myself able.. The harsh interaction with the skirts lead me back to a fish I wanted as a child. And really reinstalled my love for big loaches. All mine are babies mind you. But with the purpose of them growing up in my care, to be the best they can be inside and out. Go get your rays man, a heater explosion is hard to take. But thats behind you, and since then things have been great. You've learned and moved on.

[@aqrifyln6719]

Good thing YOU made these mistakes so I don't have to.

[@mondragonaquatics364]

what about another very large Asian arowana? after all it's the exact same care as the one you have right now.

[@gustavoarios]

I tell my kids when I make a reference about you, your knowledge and your channel as a treasure. I tell my kids Joey is a treasure to the hobby. You are now a master communicator, perfect pace, awesome editing, never fumbling for words, always really relevant information while broadcast quality entertaining. A very heartfelt congratulations on a job well done!!!!

[@livinsite1]

True

[@thekingofdiy]

Thanks my man. That's means a lot to hear. Tell the kiddos Joey said hello!

[@joshuaolin573]

I like your new recaps at the beginning. makes me feel like I'm being entertained while learning.

[@thekingofdiy]

+Joshua Olin I like to do it at times to bring more context. Not everyone is a long time viewer. Wish they were, these updates would be a lot easier!

[@joshuaolin573]

+The king of DIY keep at it! I wasn't being sarcastic. it really makes your videos more enjoyable. for me anyways. sorry to hear about the tank mates but I'm looking forward to the possible rays. are you shopping yet?

[@thekingofdiy]

+Joshua Olin I got ya. No worries. I wouldn't say I'm shopping right now, but have a friend that will import for me when we find something I like. Until then, I'll have to build a qt/grow out for them.

[@joshuaolin573]

+The king of DIY ah. good to hear :)

[@Tiamat951]

New build video :D yay :)

[@Rotsuoy]

That is the most beautiful arowana that I have ever seen (the red hooks were very pretty too, especially the freckled ones, but that arowana is just gorgeous). Even before you said that he was 'visibly happier' after the red hooks were gone, I could really see it. I enjoyed seeing him rub against the bubbles. Seeing happy fish make me happy. Thank you for making this video!

[@gregrahmberg2498]

The ending of this video made my eyes swell up with tears. Thank you for sharing your struggles as well as all the great achievements you've made in this hobby. I keep 10 aquariums of my own at home, all managed and DIY/aquascaped by myself. I don't have any friends who "understand" the work that is put into it, and watching your videos as well as other channels gives me that sense of validation I need to not feel so alone in doing what I love. Don''t get me wrong, seeing my fish happy will always be my goal. It's just really encouraging to see what you do and how openly you share your emotional journey with the fish you keep.

[@kdmellor]

OK, I'm not a fish guy, yet I watched this entire video clip. Why? Because it was interesting and very well done. After just a few seconds, I got the sense that I might actually learn a few new things if I hung around and watched, so I did. I learned a lot about a topic that eleven minutes earlier, I'd had no interest in whatsoever. Now eleven minutes later, after watching the whole clip, I'm a bit smarter, and a lot more interested. I had no idea fish had different personalities. I thought they were just fish, you know, just following their instincts to swim, eat and reproduce. I figured fish tanks were sort of like paintings you hang on a wall and just enjoy them because they look cool. But watching this clip, it appears as though fish definitely do have different personalities, and I get the sense that fish can be just as fulfilling and rewarding as a pet dog or cat. Their behavior is so much more complex and interesting than I first imagined, and tank ownership seems to be as rewarding and challenging as any other hobby or interest. So thanks!

[@Aleks-hs2fu]

Same

[@Aleks-hs2fu]

It was really put together well

[@OoMASEoO]

kdmellor You can actually pet some fish! My blood red parrot cichlids will come up your hand if you put your hand in the tank. There are videos on KZbin of people massaging their parrot cichlids! Mine love to rearrange their decorations and rocks. I have this rock display that I like to put up like a bridge and they always knock it down to hide behind instead 😂

[@matthewhowell2811]

,88o

[@dhammaboy1203]

Well if you enjoyed Game of Thrones you should defiantly consider getting your own (large) tank of African Cichlids because they do that - but as fish! Yeah their behavior is far more complex than people realise - Australian Marine biologist Callum Brown has recently discovered examples fish using tools to hunt.

maybe you had too many red hooks & since they highly outnumbered him they felt obligated to gang up on him since he was such a jerk in the beginning. or may because they were in the tank 1st they were territorial and felt like he disrespected their space ? or mayyybeeee a combination of both ? perhaps half that number of red hooks introduced into his tank (after being isolated & decontaminated) would work

[@MissKorsakoff]

I have absolutely no passion for fish... yet I started watching your videos a few days ago and for some reason I watch at least a couple a day now. I find your videos very interesting and informative and... curious. I started appreciating fish even though I knew nothing about them before I found your channel! Excellent work sir! Keep it up!

[@mattrawlins764]

Why didn't you try making a removable divider to use just during feedings?

[@skytaniguchi1198]

Vester Rawlins right lol wtf

[@alexanderthegrape5641]

Vester Rawlins he says it wouldn't be big enough then for the fish

[@mattrawlins764]

Alexander The grape He was referring to putting a permanent divider in. That is what gave me the idea of one that can be removed when the fish are done eating.

[@alexanderthegrape5641]

Vester Rawlins oh sorry

[@aqibos]

They were still attacking him at night and and the bullying was just going to get worse as they become full sized

[@lordkrishnastolemyheart5485]

Poor little Arowana, I'm glad he got his tank back and is happy. Don't feel too bad because we all make mistakes. Mine was putting a betta fish named Thanatos in a community tank with guppies. Many friends have done this no trouble but Thanatos killed all my fancy guppies overnight. I guess we all get that one fish(or group) that's a butthole.

[@KenSamaGomenasai]

Every time I go to Wallyworld I take one of their betas and throw it in one of their guppy tanks. One time, I went back to wallyworld later that night to witness them cleaning out a tank of gore.

I still miss Buddy.. I keep watching these old videos.

[@jimismackers3166]

Great video, but I'm just wondering. Why didn't you try halving the Shoal? so there was less of the red hooks taking all the food and also maybe I'm thinking it might of evened up the temperament of the fish between each other.

[@Samihamcat]

YESSS RAYSSSS and I'm so glad this didn't end with "and my arowana died"

[@heavenmasaki]

How about koi fish? They are large enough not to be eaten. They aren't aggressive but they eat everything.

[@Freemananana]

Much too big for this tank.

[@aussiejjdude3066]

They cold water fish! Will not thrive in a heated tank IMO.

[@Freemananana]

Tanked With Aussie Koi can handle a lot of temperature ranges, but this tank is no where near big enough. Koi need at least a 4' deep 'tank' or pond to work their muscles by swimming up and down. It is also recommended to not house them in anything less than 2000g.

[@aussiejjdude3066]

Even so, they still do better in slightly colder temperatures than what the aro would like IMO.

[@heavenmasaki]

I'm surprised that people in North America don't know how popular to keep koi fish in a fish tank in Japan. Although you need a very good filter system and right amount of food.

[@HELLBOY-rs8vh]

I've had an arowana , African lung fish , jaguar cichlid , velvet cichlid , wide mouth catfish , red tail catfish , tyre track eel. they have all passed away over the years . the only fish I have left is an upside down catfish that is now 20 years old , he lives alone in a 450 gallon tank. I've never replaced the ones that died and he's the last survivor ...

[@aa-vb9tj]

What makes a catfish "upside down"????

[@TheKamiBunny]

I have one of those i call rocky. He's about 25 years old now. I can't tell if he's alive as he never swims but if you take him out his fin comes right up and he gulps air. So he's alive that's really the only way i can tell if he's alive. Hes talking about something like a Common Pleco. An algae eater. Some people call them the upside down cat fish as they can sticl and swim to stuff upside down.

[@protecturneck_4240]

a a I have no idea but there a thing

[@DetteS]

I had a Scleropages Jardinii in a similar sized tank, and what I found great in terms of tank buddies were Clown Pleco. By the time the pair I had had little babies, the Saratoga was chill enough to leave the tiny things alone, and I made a few bucks off of selling them to aquariums and fish specialists when they were big enough. My set up had pebbles, plant life and logs in it from day one when the Saratoga was quite small though, so I don't think introducing something that has already hurt your fish would help

[@chukwuemekaonyema2716]

Do you think the Red Hook would be a good tank mate for red eared slider? They dont hide which is concerning but if they are fast enough to always get away, maybe they are ok?

Buying fish and having to immediately get rid of them, thats why I have a dedicated empty tank for my arowana

[@thekingofdiy]

[@themadhookerbro1]

+The king of DIY you made a good choice

[@scottishduck88]

The situation. It should have worked but it's annoying that you (and the arowana) had to go through that.

[@madeiranmarvel2116]

What about some plecos as tankmates? They will stay on the bottom away from the arrowana and are tough as well as attractive plus you can get them big. They eat different foods so no competition during feeding time. Do you not like them?

[@evepuckett8403]

Where did you get these monster red hooks? I have a silver dollar that is nowhere near as large or aggressive as these. Perhaps a species change of silver dollars is what is needed. These look like they are part piranha!

[@TheDro]

So glad I watched till the end. I fully support this decision :)

Hey buddy I just wanted to Know if acrylic aquarium is good for fish health because in times corrosion might occur. And if it's good then is there certain grade to acrylic sheets used to build tank ?

[@Thanatoastea]

The arowana was a fish of my childhood. My grandfather and father loved them while my uncle has an arowana now I missed taking care of one. I remember how the fish would bump my father's hand gentle as a sign of affection as my dad feeds it. This video was very nostalgic and I want to take care of one again hopefully I could once I get the right tank

I wonder if you kept just 2 or 3 red hooks with the arowana maybe it would have worked out. Maybe in fewer numbers, the red hooks would be less aggressive?

[@suryapratapgupta5482]

What type of arowana im geussing silver. But silver arowana are diffrent these arowanas like goldens super reds they could die from stress but my friend has a super red with a rtc but it was fine except the rtc kept eating most of the food lol

[@ronvilla646]

william jason yes it was two silver arowanas he told me one jumped out one day when he was at work and the other one ended up dying because it wouldn't eat after the other one died I guess it missed its friend

[@alexhonda6421]

I think your mistake was to add the red hooks first. You should priorize the Aruwana, add him first, aclimatize, make him eat first voraciously and then add one red hook at a time. Also, change the food for bigger chunks of fish or something so the Aruwana would eat as soon it drops to the water and the red hooks would eat the remains. Or I wouldn’t take longer to let the Aruwana suffer so long and had fried the red hooks in the first week😂

[@seyed7705]

I'm sorry I might have missed the video, but weren't you starting a new project regarding a saltwater aquarium a few months back ? what happened to that ?

If you watched the vid he explained why, because neither species is a hiding type plus it would only be an obstacle to his arowana

[@GrimFelArt]

Easier to clean, plus fish don't necessarily *need* décor or substrate, it's usually more for aesthetics. But the main reason is that it's simple to maintain and gives bad bacteria less places to develop.

4 tank mates get some Oscars

[@js-ke8uo]

Oscars are agressive eaters too

Your Arowana is such a handsome fish! It's rough when plans don't work out.

I want to know how you would approach/plan to build a 350 gal bow front aquarium 72" height 18" width 70" length. I am attempting DIY

[@OrbiT1]

Can u giveaway a arowana? ;)

[@Emmatriaaa]

That's illegal

[@bunnybuns6638]

PainKiller - Alis & More and also that would be like so expensive he doesn't value KZbin that much to spend thousands

[@allitchy]

That tank in the wall is amazing!!

[@AlligatorCrossing]

Loved the style of this video. The narration and calm voice was so relaxing and nice to watch. Loved it!

I'm working on planting my 10 gallon aquarium. I have a rainbow shark in the tank now and I plan on adding some dinosaur bichirs and ghost shrimp. Any suggestions on tank mates?

[@nletner413]

I just got 7 of them. Been watching for many years and still come back to videos I’ve already watched for advice 🤙🏼

i have a question about my 35 gallon fish tank. i have two fish, a micky mouse platy and a neon tetra, one of the big ones. my neon tetra is eating my platys fins, to where he can't even swim. they bolth stopped eating, and I have no clue what to do. i have already looked online and can't find anything. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

[@Lilmoviegirl]

drawing queen101 It'd probably be a good idea to separates them, if they're having problems. Also, tetras are schooling fish, so you'd need some other neon tetras to school with. As for them not eating, that depends on what your water params are at.

Up until very recently, I had a tiger oscar with a high fin spotted pleco, and a small group of basic silver dollars (not red hook or anything special) in a tank together. I never observed ANY kind of aggressive behavior from them. They wouldn't even feed that aggressively until the Oscar, Zuul, had gotten his fill. Perhaps it was a trait of that subspecies of SD, or perhaps the shoal size was large enough that they had no fear?

[@j0505galvez]

Where do you purchase your fishs5 at? I have a empty 400 gallon tank and I'm looking for a good size fish.

[@God_Famiily_Fishing]

What's the cost to build a tank 100-400gal thanks man I'm a new subscriber to your channel and I like the first video I've seen of yours I've got a couple 55gal tanks but have always wanted to build one what's the tank made of and what did you use to glue it together. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated thanks watching for more of your videos

[@jaymescholtes19]

I'd move him back into his original tank. Poor guy! Sounds like these red hooks are bullies. Hope you get this resolved soon!

[@glennr9913]

Perhaps you tried too many Red Hooks? Why didn't you add another Arowana for a buddy or as a mate? Would a large cat have worked? What did you end up doing?

[@timothyjohnson6143]

I wonder if this has to do with the region in which these species of fish are endemic. I keep a large silver arowana with 11 red hook silver dollars and they get along quite well. The silver arowana is a VERY ferocious eater by comparison though, so perhaps amazonian fish have more boisterous eating habits than asian species?

[@isaacquery1408]

Hi, I have a decent size Dragon fish and he is 100% healthy and good with other fish I was wondering what I should do with him because I can't keep him no more can I send it to you or where do you recommend me doing with him.

[@SeahorseWhisperer]

I absolutely love that you share your mistakes in addition to all success! Awesome video!

[@Smmswagfr]

I think a small group of Redfin tinfoil barbs would be a better alternative. They are the same color as the red hooks, can be bought at a big size, cheap, non aggressive, extremely active and fast, and overall, an awesome community fish that loves to eat all kinds of food.
