Poor little red. She was such a nice fish. I had a pet fish I loved so much and then I came home from work and found him dead. It has been six years years since his death that I have brought another fish into my life.
Dude something happens for a reason and i'm sure that his wife din't kill "Little Red" and the other 3 . We just have to move on when we lost our love ones. I'm a KOI lover.
I had one they die from hitting their heads on the top of the tank, they like to jump.They also catch disease.Your suppose to do water changes once or twice a week with them.But the one guy was right you need a pond 400 gallon minimum.
Arowana does not like being touched or moved I believe it died of stress. when they are moved they stop eating for months because of it. Leave them in the wild unless you have such a big tank that they can live in for the rest of their lives as moving them is death
$50 dollars for a small one . 20 in a pond and you have 1000 ponds . this is $1mil worth of small fish . So it would be more because some of them are older
Arowana not only exist in malaysia, arowana fish is very much found in Indonesia. and most importantly is the Arowana fish is not the malaysian national fish. remember that
That was really sad because you can see how much the family loved those fish. You know a really good ending to this story would be to see this owner work towards starting a conservation farm that doesn't just supply arrowana for the industry but breeds them to be reintroduced into the wild in areas like that lake where they are going extinct and maybe name his business after "little red"..... Little Red Dragon Farm (or something like that).
With so many arowana farms in the area why isn't there a breeding project to start reintroducing them back into the wild ?? Also I agree with another person below in comments .. something, eg feral dog is likely to dig his prize fish up. Hole is way too shallow. Could Maybe put rocks on top.
sad to see your arowana story..and i have experienced it..and when do you want to maintain again i can accompany you to find a better one in suhaid indonesia..thanks Hendri V
They say albino golden arowanas are the most expensive heard but have u heard of nami green arowanas and platinum silver arowanas XD also if u put your little red arowana in a lake.... it might live longer lol
obviously may not have been shown, but I didn't see the fish acclimate to the new water, plus they put all the fish into the tanks with the water they travelled with. which would have sedative in the water, combined with with all the other fish added the same way with the same water (with sedative). id imagine that was the cause of the fish dying, they was still getting medicated?
Only exceptional show Koi can compete with Arowana pricing. A normal grade Koi at the size of 30-50cm would not cost you more than $1000. Asian arowana babies easily go for a couple hundred, a healthy Asian Arowana 30-50 cm would cost you a few grand easily! High grade show Arowana's are most of the time priceless, people have offered up to 80 grand for Arowanas and theyve been declined. Each fish is beautiful in their own ways, but to be perfectly realistic Arowanas are considered the most valuable fish on the market. Its true that Koi have more variety and colour, but they are bred in mass quantities which further devalues them,
Wow I never thought I would want one. Beautiful fish but so big. But after watching this or maybe I should say reading lol. I want one I want to try and help them live longer in capacity. May little red live on in this goal of mine and in the harts of the lucky ones that got to know her.
One of the first things they always spoke about was the value of the fish, "how much is my Son's worth?" type of comment. If into the fish as a money-making project, that's fine. But, true devotees to the hobby are more interested in the fish's beauty.
Oh man..I hate you lost that beautiful (and very valuable) fish. How long was she in that bag with that small amount of water? Maybe ammonia built up and burned her gills in that bag.
He was talking about the Golden Asian Arowana which can only be found in the wild in the lakes and rivers of North-western Peninsular Malaysia. It's the same reason as why Panda is the national animal of China, and Kangaroo to Australia. Malaysia's national icon is the Malayan tiger, but Golden Arowana can be our national fish :)
Dear Andrew Liem, Indonesia are the home of the most beautiful chili red arowana as in Pontianak, and the most beautiful Blue Base Golden Arowana are originally from one of Malaysian River, my Pekan Baru friends try to breed Malaysia Arowana but they couldn't get the same gred....lets enjoy the different
Kay
these are captive bred, so stop speaking nonsense, arowana have higher survival in captivity than in wild, specially in asia, so stop talking nonsense
DaKing68
that is one of the most stupid idea ever.
indonesia and malaysia have poachers, releasing them in the wild is allowing the, to be killed, use your tiny brain sometimes
It was absolutely the chemicals residue from the paints, paint thinners, etc that killed the fish. And more of this guy's fish will die. All of them to be exact. Powerful chemicals like the ones shown in his garage lets off airborne residue which enters the fish tanks via his oxygen feed source. Immediate removal of all chemicals is a must, however, it may already be too late. A real shame because she(little red) was a beautiful specimen and really for mating activities. Lesson learned as with anything in life. I am absolutely dumbfounded that he did not know that chemicals and fish do not match, and that its destructive nature does not have to be direct contact, that airborne introduction is just as deadly. I hope he learns from this and continues his passion.
Melania Wong Yes! Americans will just hormone breed these fish for quick money and make hybrids, breed deformity for novelty and ruin bloodlines. Maybe genetically engineer them into glofish.
graphite you just named everything Asia does. y'all do it with flowerhorn all the time. they look nice in pictures but when we get them they don't look like the pictures.
Phi Salaymang Im Norse Scandinavian. We are much superior to fentanyl addicted, Xanax addicted, plastic surgery addicted, prozac addicted, mulatto, low IQ , low fertility, low income , morbidly obese, highly suicidal Americans.
graphite if funny how you have to insult Americans to make your little country seem superior. if you were so superior you would know that Prozac was created by a German chemist.
Phi Salaymang Yes, Germany invented Prozac and they make a lot of money exporting it to the USA, as the USA consumes 90% of the entire world's supply because of the high rates of mental illness ans depression. But no Scandinavians want to move to USA, and I don't know what Germany has to do with Scandinavia, maybe your education is not that good? The only people who want to move to America are Asians, Africans and Hispanics. They are harder workers and more intelligent than most Americans and the world wishes them well and much success in the USA. Hopefully their hard work and taxes will get America out of debt.
I am sorry if you think i was insulting but I have only been learning English for 18 months , it is harder than French I think but my teacher says i should be more fluent in English by my 14th birthday.
no one is pure Scandinavian. that group of people have disappeared along time ago. if you take a DNA analysis I bet you would be less then 30% Scandinavian
Recently, it emerged that these meal worms have no great nutrient. Hence, most switched on crickets, cockroaches and Zophobas.
It is true that the flour mask has a rather poor nutrition, especially craving animals purchasing the zoo deal. Besides this, one should bear in mind that the meal worm contains about 95% fat.
Johan Olsson not really.. mealworms contain lotsa nutrition and protein. The bad thing to feed ur arowana is gold fish bcoz it contains alots of fats and it can make ur arowana "drop eye" syndrome. The best way to feed the arowana is centipede and make the fish change color real quick. Small fishes is ok but it's really risky bcoz they can contain parasites to it.
to all arowana lovers understand wat feeling of the guy or family have ....... rather than eat them or relieve ...... (if u kept a goat feed them.... love them ...do u dare to eat them ????) if u r .... not human..... im a arowana lover like him bought aquarium for 3k just for my baby arowana over than my pay.... tats we do for wat we love pet
THINK THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD SET ASIDE NO-FISHING LAKES(A COUPLE) FOR CONSERVATION/BREEDING/EDUCATION/TOURISM AND BREEDERS SHOULD FEEL PROUD TO DONATE TOP QUALITY.WE EXPLOIT NATURE FOR WEALTH AND THUS SPECIES GO EXTINCT .IF NOT MALAYSIA NATIONAL FISH IT CAN BE MALAYSIA NATIONAL FRESH-WATER FISH
Hi can you please help me out how your maintaining the water parameters for arowana I’m doing so much of exercise to make water soft using chemicals available in market but they are not helping the water becomes hard after few days and my arowana are dying in few days after I get them ... I have lost red aro, 24k , pearl, RTG , silver, in span of 14months
when pump oxigen to the plastic bag will cause the water PH change in
short to more than 7. Means if the journey to new place is not far,
better pump normal air and little oxigen. Temperature might not the main
issue, because malaysia weather is stable. And outdoor aquarium might
cause fish feel stress, because is too bright to compare with indoor and
too many movement object... For fish pond outdoor is ok, but aquarium
is not. And they also use the chemical to make the fish feel stress
free, but might be too much can cause side effect.
If you ever come to Corona, CA Ive got a silver arowana you can
have. Its getting way too big for my tank, and its getting skittish as I
am rarely home now. He freaks out at the sight of ppl
You are great person you live for your hobby, i really appreciate
your love towards Arowana. I m from India. i love Arowana.thank you sir
you motivate me
I am planning to buy an silver Arowana. I prefer to keep Arowana
in huge tanks single with good filteration , water changes very low
daily, and healthy shrims and home made special food for Arowana.
Pretty sure the sedative, temperature shock, and overstocking
killed that fish. It takes a lot to kill an Asian Arowana that big. How
did they not know about these things when they are experts.
I had a connection like this to some of my fish, fish are a lot
smarter then people think they are. they can be trained and taught to do
things. My fishes died because the city where I was living one day
decided to add chlorine and fluoride to the water. Not knowing the city
did this I did a regular water change and my fish died. I don't know why
the city did this. The water was fine before they added these chemicals
into it. Now nothing can live and we are drinking this shit. Not only
that but we are dumping this crap back into the water system. We need to
remove chemicals from the water ill never forget my fish. Most people
dont have a love for a fish or care about the fresh water system, but
they love their dogs as if they are people which I think is even more
weird, then having a passion for aquatic animals as a whole.
I think His arowana some die because when he bring from aquarium
to transfer new one he have to keep 20 mints before mix ,, well it’s
happened already I-really sad for ur arowana,, because I’m also love
fish a lot
Love the video, love the dragons even more, I could watch your
video a dozen times and never get bored. Kudos my friend great job and
awesome fish. I have 3silver arowanas and can't wait till some day have
an Asian breed 🔥🔥🔥
thats what happens when you dont slowly acclimate a fish to the
new water. you cant just throw him in and expect him to survive that.
the shock most likley killed it. you would think a guy who has kept fish
as long as him would know better than to just toss a fish into
different water without acclimating it first.
I never figure why I like the Dragon fish so much but I was born
on a boat from vietnam going to Malaysia, birth cert over there..
parents named me golden Dragon in Vietnamese "Kim long" I one day would
like Togo Malaysia but with all the planes going down I highly doubt
I'll go.... Anyways that's my story and thanks for uploading this
documentary!
the most expensive arowana are not golden red but super red. both
of this kind can be find in borneo island indonesia insteed of malaysia.
this video missleading some information. its shows super red but he's
said golden red.
In the video, you can just happen to see those sedatives were
polled directly on little red, that might be the reasons why she wasn't
so resistant during the capturing, ultimately leading to her dead.
sudden change of water temperature will kill any fish.. they
should put the fish with the plastic till 15-20mins then net the fish so
that travel water will not mix with the aquarium water.. better safe
next time
the guy who helped you move the fish killed little red, he poured
the fish in the tank right away worh no acclimatization, and were those
tanks even properly cycled?
The cycle wasnt the issue. They put her/him way to fast. They
should've waited for the temperature in the bag was the same wit the
tank & then slowly put in some of the tank water in the bag.
Sang Nguyen Who knows how long those bags were sitting in the hot
sun? Also, the ongoing renovations probably affected the water
chemistry. Perhaps simply the stress of moving killed her. Either way,
always sad to lose an old friend like that.
In Asia it's said that when an arowana dies, it's because the
owner was supposed to but the arowana sacrifices themself to save the
owner out of love.
If no one says anything then crazy lunatics continue to run the
world. You need someone like me Kartik Padadadmadmadma. However you
pronounce that ridiculous last name. Get yourself an American name and
be important. No one will remember you when you leave this earth. You
aren't important.
Kartik, you act like being a doctor is an honorable thing? How
many people are you going to rip off by taking all of their money and
giving them sub-par help. You're no better than a lawyer or a sleaze
ball politician. Stop, you're not important.
whatever it is... i liked it and appriciate his love towards his
fish.. could see from his eyes.. when he saw fish dead.. true love
towards his fish.. great..
@andrew mockler
Cause insecure poor people like you are envious of others.
we can buy substrate if we want to.. but substrate are just for beginners like you.
who have no idea in keeping Asian arowana.
and our substrate is better than yours. instead eat your substrate and shut up.
Dimwit.
@andrew mockler Laugh all you want.
but you know deep within your self all that i have said to you are all true =)
So Shut up and stop acting like you know anything
Retarded Dimwit
An opaque bag would have been less stressful, and they didn't even
acclimate to temp/water - just put her from the bag to the tank.
That's all just bad practice that probably killed her. Paint toxins
would have killed the other fish in there too. So sad. Bad mistakes.
It was most likely the paint toxin that got into the tank. more
than likely the water was similar to the water they were using before
and the temp wouldn't haven't killed her unless it was 10+ degrees or
more difference.
I guess so, I did the same thing w/ my koi. One mistake, and it
killed all of my koi fish in the tank 😭😭 I just directly put
everything on the tank. Now I lost my interest in keeping big fishes
after all I've been through to keep 'em all. 😩😭
Doing water changes every day? Is this some kind of joke?...
No offence, I clearly recognize that you and your son are Arowana
enthusiasts but if you really want to have a go at keeping an Arowana
for more than 10 years than invest in a pond.
Pond won't work in Malaysia considering what wildlife they have
there plus laws and what not.
Secondly, you won't achieve the same viewpoint of the Arowana as in an
aquarium. If anything, he should just save so he can build a house so he
has room for his fish and his family.
@Travis MacFarland
Breeding ponds = Commercial money making ones.
Private ponds = Cost hobby. Besides, seeing he lived in that small of an
apartment, it doesn't seem he have enough money to buy a house with
property for it nor does it seem like he would be able to build up a
proper Protection system for the fish since there exist more exotic
predators around that area all from snakes to other stuff.
Ponds are only for gold fish and koi. They can wit stand the cold
and warmth better than most fishes. And water changes arnt even that
bad. Like honestly.
I'm pretty sure his wife has been killing arowanas. Because he
said that arowanas can't live more than 10 years in captivity which is
false. I've personally witnessed arowanas live more than 30 years in
captivity(multiple of them)
Billy Corners doesn't really mater, it was a big tank, now if they
would've left her in the tank with that, now that would be a problem.
They should've temperature acclimate and then slowly started to put the
tank water in the bag. That would've been way way better than what they
did.
I've had large arrowana and flowerhorn
Never use seditave on a huge fish like that
Also the fish was not properly acclimated even if s h e was not properly
acclimated she did not have enough air all they did was run the tank in
a situation like that you fill the tank with 5 even 10 air pumps get
the water filled with air also there is no reason why they could not
have slipped a few battery operated air line in put her in a 40 gal. And
transport her that way it's awful
Cause of death:-
1- Water temperature
2- New tank got chemical
3- Transfer 50% of the old water in
4- No salt added/anti-Chlorine
5- Do not letgo the fish suddenly into a tank. Leave it for 1-2hrs to maintain temp and oxygen
Tips from the pro
he had the fricking fish for 6 years never knew how to color him
up whit shrimp or better lighting,let someone else handle your fish he
looked scared when the fish shopowner wants to trow a juice in to calm
the fished .then he dropped fish in a room were there was open paint
cans allover and still working en drying in a room dude wtf were u
thinking
poor acclimation, sedation of fish and possibly an immature filter
system would be the cause if the water was poluted the whole tank would
have gone! I just can't get over how small that tank was!! you need
2000gallon for Arowana of that size, its just plain crule !
long time ago.. in one of the river in Borneo, Indonesia, there
were a lot of Arowana, thousands, and people eat them as food, or just
leave it as a balance for ecosystem and esthethic nature. Then, the
outsider came to the land. Giving big amount of cashes to the local
people to capture ALL arowana along the river. Now, the local people are
sad, they cannot see the fish in the river anymore, and had to pay huge
amount of money to have a single fish, which was originally from the
river of their land.
This is whip for us. We should not be fooled with money. When some
stranger give you some (big) cash, there must be a hidden true reason.
And that wont ever benefit us. We must, either trick them back, or just
adopt the idea.
I don't understand why the fisherman don't try to prevent the loss
of wild Arowana populations. If they can feel the impacts of their
fishing why not try to get the government to place protected zones for
breeding to potentially increase the numbers?
When you configure the ways humans are destroying planet Earth's
ability to house life, this one is right up there. This is income. It's
not about survival. Income proceeds everything else, and adds to
destroying life on Earth.
After all,, the goal must be to kill God. When Earth dies.. This God
does too. We can't live anywhere else... So what would anyone else call
it.
"I don't understand why the fisherman don't try to prevent the
loss of wild Arowana populations. "
Picture this. You have a family of 5 not including you and your wife.
You have kids all under the age of 10. You dont have a job.
You can catch this one fish and sell it for a years wages., This is why
poaching of any living animal doesnt end. Poor people have no choice.
There are protected zones for the fish. It is illegal to catch
arrows in the wild. Most of the ones you see in the market or in
private tanks are bred domestically in farms. They've all been tagged
with rfid chips
A lovely story. Arawanas are beautiful ,graceful,
fish.Unfortunately the fish is to large for my tanks. This man has a
passion for these and passion at anything usually means he is good at
it. I salute him and his lovely family.
