This 3 came as a batch. My dad and I were very tempted to try our hand at raising a community of arowanas in a single tank. So while visiting a guy known as “porkman”, we ended up buying another 3 Qianhu Violet Fusion Super Reds for S$1,500 a pop. We have gone crazy (Apparently not crazy enough if could tell the future at that time).
They joined the collection in early 2006.
So now we had 4 super red arowanas in one tank. If I were to list their “names” given by us to them, it would make no sense to you. But nevertheless, presenting:
Barny: The biggest of the 3. Was my personal favorite with great body shape and color. Unfortunately its mouth got seriously damaged by a red hook. So now it is considered as a “defect” fish.
Anus: Again, very nice body shape and color. He was called Anus because it suffered from a protruding anus while growing up. Caused us much concern.
Small Red: Smallest of the 3. Always got bullied. The bodyshape is not exactly the best, but the color is the most intense. I have high hopes for this little bugger.
