who knows.I think i have more fish knowledge then the people that work there.That would be the last thing in the world i'd put with a discus.

 

Arowona eats duckling

Its cruel to see the sick fish keepers of the world.Why couldn't he buy a a snake so it has no choice but to eat a rat but arowonas can eat flakes.

I dont think a arowana wants to eat a discus, the bigger problem is a foot long fish in a 29!

 

Re: Arowona eats duckling

Arowana wont eat flake, and the video isnt that bad, just dont watch the end lol.

Re: What i saw today that was asking for trouble.

read it watched it a while back, arowana tend to feed at the surface, surprising their victims, so as long as the discus isnt floating at the top I feel like short term it will be ok.

 

Re: What i saw today that was asking for trouble.

but thoose arowonas can be some nasty fish sometimes and a discus isn't ready for combat against an arowona anytime

 

Re: What i saw today that was asking for trouble.

Discus will not be able to contend no, but arowana generally just swallow anything, not really aggressive, the will just swallow anything, lol. I just read a post that crazhrse sent me on another forum where his 6" gulper cat ate his 13" arowana.
