Jardini Arowana Growth| 9 Months in 3½ Minutes

Just sharing with you all some of the footage that was taken of my Australian Jardini Arowana...truly an incredible fish. Though he grew pretty slow and was very shy, he still show great potential in both beauty and personality! Its a shame he left the way he did...remember when keep Arowana fish to keep the hood/cover over the tank and to fill any and every crack...this guy managed to jump threw a 2 inch gap in the back of my tank that I use for filter parts....RIP

Speechless for that ending

[@ronvilla646]

sorry to hear you lost such a nice looking fish it was becoming so beautiful. I didn't read the description until after I finished the video I didn't think it would end like that. pretty cool video watching your fish grow up

[@dwsdarius]

Thank You, yes I was shocked not only that he jumped...but that he was able to squeeze through such a small gap in the hood!

[@ninjaraivideos]

I eat my words, everything I ever said about this species. you make having this fish cool, it was neat to see a arrow swimming with all these fish species. I'm sorry for your loss.

[@dwsdarius]

Thank You, this fish had his ups and downs...he was very beautiful but at the same time very aggressive killing a few geo's.

[@dwsdarius]

Thank you, keep your lid tight!

[@DebTim]

Hi Darius.. I loved that video. It's so nice you have this record of his life. I'm sorry it ended that way. I can't believe how many people have open tanks. I mean for all different fish including jumpers. I could never do that. I have had one jump out while feeding them.

[@dwsdarius]

Thank You, my tank actually has a hood, its just the back I left a gap for filter pluming and he squeeze through that. But, as of today that gap is sealed!

[@DebTim]

I'm so sorry you lost him.. I just loved the video. To me that's what this hobby is all about.. watching our fish grow and colour up. I've lost jumper before too. Sad way to go. Have a great Monday Darius!

[@dwsdarius]

Thank You, you to!

[@vishuprajwal560]

He could have been a beautiful fish to you tank! Sorry for the loss! I had one 4 inch ! I made a partition between a flower horn and golden pearl arowana! After few days my Arowana jumped into my Flower horn enclosure and eaten by My Flower horn ! I felt very bad! These guys freek out very easily and sometimes it could be very dangerous! We have to take precautions while keeping this fish!

[@slymetube]

Tell me how you train your jardini eat dried food likes pellets and hikari sticks I hava jardini too, 7cm and so picky about food too

[@dwsdarius]

Well that's pretty young, mine didn't start eating pellets until about 12cm. Mine loved crickets, so I raised my own crickets feeding them hikari sticks so that the protein and taste of the pellet would be in the crickets. The good think about crickets is that they float, so once my aro was at the point of immediately attacking crickets once they hit the surface of the water, I would toss small pieces of the hikari sticks and he would grab them thinking there were crickets. The trick is to make sure its small enough to be swallowed, if its too big it won't be interested much....and eventually it started excepting the sticks regularly, and then I switched to massivore delight sinking pellets which apparently taste better to fish!

[@shaikhtabrez9727]

Thnkssssss for sharing

[@dwsdarius]

Thank you, yes mine was very aggressive too!

[@shaikhtabrez9727]

dwsdarius thnkssssss

[@mykellward4789]

Its good you raised him with other fish it could help keep his aggression down

[@ianjablonka8535]

How did you get him to accept tankmates? Mine has turned out to be aggressive enough to go after me during water changes

[@dwsdarius]

Mine was young and smaller than its other tank mates, that had a huge effect

[@anthonysmalawipredators8794]

wow he grew pretty quick

[@dwsdarius]

Yes he grew at a decent pace. Compared to my old silver arowana he grew slow, my silver grew twice his size in the same amount of time

[@roundedrob1483]

Ok the way it ended caught me off guard. WOW that sucks, was thinking about getting one. What did you have him eating?

[@dwsdarius]

This guy wasn't really big on eating at the surface like most arowana so I fed him hikari massivore delight which is a sinking pellet

[@roundedrob1483]

@@dwsdarius OK thanks for the input.

[@anselmchng3238]

Was looking for tips on keeping pearl arowana, bought one on impulse, 6.5cm, perhaps you can tell me what I should do to keep him alive?

[@dwsdarius]

Firsty keep a good lid, as they love to jump. A large tank is also required, 200+ gallons. When young you can feed krickets and small fish, but try to train it to eat floating pellets...I used hikari carnivore sticks with good results

[@amrii7886]

u got beauty oscar bruh

[@williambaldwin7190]

I am very sorry for your loss, how big can theses guys get?

[@dwsdarius]

Thanks, in captivity they max at about 28 inches

[@oscarfish8804]

Hello bro... may I ask sometimes?.... did the big oscar dont eat the small arowana? Its is ok? If its ok i wanna try

[@dwsdarius]

The Oscar left it alone because at the point the aro was too big to be eaten. Once the arowana is pass 5" I think its safe with an oscar

Sad story maaaaaaan! What's even sadder is that they don't sell Midas cichlid here in Philippines :(

[@junaidahmed8990]

my banjar red jumped out today so sad its a big mistake i made not covering the tank

[@dwsdarius]

Wow that sucks...it crazy how much these fish jump

[@junaidahmed8990]

dwsdarius really heartbroken because they are so expensive and they got the best personality !!!

[@MrAhpensiko]

Junaid Ahmed this fish are capable to jump 4 feets height. Today i saw my fish jump up but luckily there's a cover top but his tail fin abit damage. I heard they jump up 4 reasons:- PH temp, small tank, there's an insect above the tank or uncomfortable tank mates.

[@junaidahmed8990]

INFAMOUS ™ unfortunately my banjar red died that day when he jumped i think he jumped because of insect i have to wait a while until i get a new one !!!

[@MrAhpensiko]

Junaid Ahmed ahhh!! alamak!! such a waste bro. i feel u man.. get a asian aro or jardini cross back from baby. just feed him crickets, centipede or pallets sticks only if u want a good color. I still remembered my father used to say "to raise an arowana isn't that hard to master it's true color is really hard"

[@dwsdarius]

Yes I couldn't believe it! Thanks for stopping by

[@aritheulevans861]

My Jardini arowana is golden why is that? Not complaining though I love it

[@dwsdarius]

Perhaps either age difference or just better quality, mine was young and was slowly developing better colors.

[@harshalshetkar]

my golden pearl arowana/Jardini is 5-5.5 inch & recently I have added parrot fishes in the Tank... they started fighting what could be the reason... i have placed hidden spots in the tank for parrot fishes to hide in. what should I Do

[@dwsdarius]

Jardini Arowana are known for being aggressive. How big is the tank? As long as they are not in too small of a tank, with enough hiding for the parrot I think once the arowana is bigger it shouldn't see the parrot as a threat which should lead to less conflict.

[@harshalshetkar]

@@dwsdarius currently my tank is 3 feet by 2 feet ... Will upgrade in next 6 months time to 5 feet

Thank You, yes that's the weirdest part, he was able to perfectly jump through such a tiny gap. I won't be getting another one, I'm going to try to go in a different direction with the tank...mixing some of the mild bigger cichlids that I have with a few schooling fish...hopefully it works according to plan

how much do jardini arowana cost, and where could I possibly get one?

[@dwsdarius]

I bought mine for $70 from petsolutions.com

[@detroitdank7695]

how is the flowerhorn so calm with all those fish ?

[@dwsdarius]

That's a midas cichlid and I raised him from young with them so it helped lower his aggression towards them

[@orandapower]

was it going to stay in community tank all is life? it would of been awsome :O... but I heard that they are super agressive when they grow older...

[@dwsdarius]

No if he never died my 210 gallon would have stayed a predator tank, and yes he was extremely aggressive but with the cichlids I had him with it was balanced out

[@orandapower]

how long are they suppose to live? and how big do they get? and what is the minimum tank size? I know they are very big fish, but i was just wondering how big do they actually get XD

[@dwsdarius]

In aquariums that can get about 30 inches (in the wild they grow bigger) and these Arowana are not as flexible as the common silver arowana so they need a lot of turning space...thus a bigger tank so the minimum size should be imo 200+gallons. As far as age they can live 20 years...or so I've read...they need a good hood because they are excellent jumpers

[@dnyaneshwarbhandare9026]

My jardini not eating stick / pallet foods so what I can do ???? My fish only eat eggs and cockroach and chicken heart and got heart So please give me a guidance how can I feed him stick foods

[@micheeelmivhhel9992]

what food do you feed him when he was a baby

[@2ndchanceinlife]

you can feed blood worms, earthworms that you dig out from the garden, live crickets, and also small prawns but remember to cut off the sharp thorny bits from the prawns head.

[@dwsdarius]

Arowana are very stubborn as babies, they only except live foods so I feed mainly crickets and occasionally a live minnow

[@beereh3779]

what do you feed your jardini how come it grow so fast?! I got my jardini since DEC 2016 and it been 3 months now he still look the same...maybe .5 inch bigger.. He was 2inch when i got him now maybe 2.5.. Super tiny..I put him with a silvir arowana and 5 tiger barbs in a 120 gallon tank and feed them 2 blood warms cube 2 times per day. I'm away make sure that he and the silvir get a piece of the cube ....I don't know why he grow soo slow.. please help!!

[@dwsdarius]

Hello, mine was very stubborn with his diet and only ate live foods. I feed mostly crickets, (which I raised myself feeding them hikari carnivore sticks for added protein) and feeders every now and than. Than when he hit about 5 inches he started accepting pellets so I began to feed hikari massivore delight which is another high protein diet. I'd say try to get yours on a high protein pellet food. You could also try crickets like I did, but once they start eating live foods they can become fussy about pellet foods.

[@beereh3779]

[@ljs1845]

could a festae and jardini work?

[@dwsdarius]

Based on my experience, Jardini arowana are some of the meanest fish to keep. Festae are pretty mean too, so I think it could work as long as the jardini aro is smaller or equal in size to them, a Jardini arowana that's larger than its tank mates will most likely bully them and potentially kill them

[@ljs1845]

dwsdarius thx I've seen a 5" jardini and my festae is a male 3" and I also have a mean ass pike cichlid who runs the tank

My Jardins is not eating. I think it's gonna die soon. It was eating 10cm dead fishes I buy from the fish market. Now it doesn't even smell the food. Been 3 weeks with no food.

[@dwsdarius]

Jardini arowana will refuse to eat if stressed or unhappy for long periods of time...if you know Joey the king of diy...he said his arowana went 2 months without eating before because of stress. How big is your arowana and what type of fish do you feed? Maybe try adding a live feeder fish just to see if he's willing to eat that...if not it could be a health issue so you would have to look for signs of illness or parasites and then treat accordingly

[@2ndchanceinlife]

DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS mines only approx 40 cm. I've thrown in a big earthworm and when I came back, I can't find the earthworm anywhere. I think I gotta change its food

[@MrAhpensiko]

2ndchanceinlife try feeding with lives crickets (protein).. or market shrimps cut into small pieces drop one by one and watch him eat.. before that knock the glass twice to call him for food and he will be anxious waiting for u to feed him. if u have asean arowana is best to feed him market shrimps to become more colorful body slowly.. depends on sizes and water temp, pH and backgroup.
