My first Asian Aro just arrived

[-DC-]

OF course the plan was to not bother with pictures until the "little guy" settles in but couldnt help myself lol, he is bigger then i expected pics in the ad didnt do him justice in the slightest (neither do these pic's as i've had him home for only a couple of hours will take some learning to photograph a new species) Oscar isnt happy about sharing his tank he's been following the aro around however is loosing interest fast,, the aro keeps taunting him though, goes toward him floats around till the oscar reacts then he slips into the floating wood where the oscar cant get to him lol

any way here's my first Aro..











IF you can spot him here, he's moved into the wood after teasing the oscar again lol



One from above for fun

lastly the cert, just because i've never owned a fish that's with papers before…

wow! That thing is amazing! I'm really jealous, always wanted one of those fish...

so you imported it yourself? What's the pricetag on something like that... if you dont mind me asking lol, if it's a secret i understand

sweet aro. any full tank shots?

Nice RTG! I have a RTG from Maju as well.

Thanks! No i didn’t import him myself, I purchased him off a guy locally who has had him only a few months and for some personal reasons had to sell it. I got him for a STEAL i paid so little i almost feel i ripped the guy off but it needed a home and i could provide it!

i believe market wise i'd expect to see him selling for 600+ not sure though, as for full tank shot, I took this video last week the Aro wasn’t in it, was actually taken to show the previous owner the home he would be going too, 240G - 5x3 footprint. Tank mates are 3 Endli Bichirs , and a big Oscar, I have a pair of spotted gars and a clown knife in grow out tank now, and a pair of indo dat’s ~6” and 12” arriving very soon (waiting to hear back on shipping date now) also heading into this tank!

CLICK THE PIC BELOW TO SEE FULL TANK VIDEO, it's a video photobucket for some reason makes it look like a bad pic when i post in forum)

Found my old HD recorder thought i'd try taking a quick video of the aro in his new home, need better lighting for this camera but thought i'd share any way

Nice pick up for sure. Glad you can provide this fish a good home; it looks like it was well cared for by the previous owner too.

another shot, Almost a perfect shot, just a bit out of focus, doubt i'm sure it'll take MANY MANY more tires to get it perfect but for now it shows his colors well in the part that’s in focus

love the colour
