"Greatest Treasure Trove of Advice Ever Written and Compiled On -
|
I'm
the happy owner of a 19" silver and two black arowanas and I'd like to
thank you for this fantastic book : easy to read, easy to understand
and very complete... |
I fully and unequivocally endorse the e-book on the comprehensive care of arowana fish produced and authored by Mr Steven Yeoh to be the pinnacle of all existing literature on one of the most beautiful of God's creations. His simplistic language and exhaustive description of the various aspects of the acquisition/different species/keeping of the fish to the setting up of the aquarium etc, can be best described as second to none! Anthony C.H Soh |

Date :
Who am I anyway? Hi! My name is Steven Yeoh. I started off just like
everyone else.. Not having a clue how to keep an arowana. I knew I
wanted one desperately but had BIG doubts whether I could keep one
alive long enough to enjoy it's beauty... Sound familiar? :-) How did I
get into this? It was really by chance actually..
When
a good friend of mine first introduced me to arowanas, other than the
fact that I found it ridiculously expensive to own one, I did not think
much of it. I was marginally curious though and started to visit
aquarium shops to try and get more information on them. I wanted to
find out why this fish was so popular and expensive ...in other words,
to basically find out what the fuss was all about! Those exploratory
days were interesting as I got to know a little bit more about arowanas.
As I became more exposed to arowanas, my fondness for them grew. I
started checking out the different breeds sold and got more and more
excited actually. However because of the high price tag associated with
arowanas, I was reluctant to get one because I was scared I would kill
it! I could already see the $$ going up in smoke everytime one dies!!
Mind
you, I was already keeping goldfish and koi at that time but again that
was a different ball game altogether right? I could get a baby goldfish
for less than a dollar and if it dies, I buy another one. (Ok ok I
admit I must have flushed countless ones down the toilet during my
learning process in rearing goldfish!)
NOW, with
arowanas, it's a different story as it could cost me about US$1000 or
more for an 8 inch red or gold arowana. Err.. I would be dead broke if
I did the same! Anyway, after months of procrastinating, I did decide
to finally get one. I decided to start off with the cheaper Red Tail
Golden or more popularly known as RTG arowana just in case…. :-)
What
did I do next? I shared my decision with my better half. I tell you,
she still manages to surprise me sometimes as I was expecting an
incredulous look and some sarcastic remarks but her answer surprised
the heck out of me! I nearly had a heart attack when she told me to
skip the RTG and go straight for the Red Arowana! At 3 to 4 times the
price of the RTG, I was delighted, but also a little apprehensive!
You see, she knows my character too well.. She knows that if I got the
RTG now, after several months (ie. if my RTG hasn't died on me by then
ofcourse!) I would want to own the more expensive ones. Her advice was
deceptively simple. She said, “Just get the good one and look after it
well!” I wasn’t going to argue, but I did begin to wonder. What if it
died? Man!..That would be a big blow to my ego! I would also never hear
the end of it from her! The latter is what really worried me. :-)
(Before I go on, did I mentioned that my wife is the better half! Well
she is! In case she reads this! )
I was glad and nervous (ok 90% nervous and 10% glad) at this point of time. I have heard so many horror stories of hobbyists bringing home arowanas only to have them die soon after. I have a personal friend who was only THIRD TIME lucky! His first arowana jumped out of the tank as he had neglected to put a lid. The second got its gills stuck in the wire mesh that he used as a lid! The third is still alive today, more than 4 years old now. Very expensive lessons, as all three were red arowanas which he paid quite a bit of money for.
Anyway,
I finally took the plunge on September 2003. Why I remember this so
vividly?... not because I was counting the days that my red arowana
would be alive ok. It is on the CITES certificate that came with my
arowana. :-) And as the saying goes, the rest is history.
I must say I was luckier than most who started out because I had a good friend who was already keeping arowanas at home. (At one time, he had 5 golden arowanas in his 9 foot tank! Real cool!) He helped me get started, but the first few weeks were pretty tense for me. I was constantly worrying whether it was going to die because of something I did or did not do. But I slowly started to gain confidence which was a good feeling after weeks of trepidation.
In
those early days as an arowana hobbyist, (wow! sure feels like a long
time ago now! :-)) I relied quite a bit on the internet as well to get
arowana care tips. I guess like everyone else, we were told that we
could find ANYTHING and EVERYTHING on the net right? They just kinda
forgot to tell us that sometimes it is like trying to find a needle in
the haystack! To be fair, I did find some excellent tips about arowana
care out there but the problem is the tedious process of trying to sift
through the crap to get to the gems! The information can be so
disjointed and is usually quite confusing. Two forums could offer you
different advise for the same problem and no one really verifies
whether the information is right or not? Bottom line was I started to
drown in this sea of information! It got to a point where I was just
totally exhausted by this exercise and had to give up!
Visiting some of the aquarium shops were not much better! I always get
cryptic and/or vague answers to queries I have. A typical response for
information might be, “Keeping an Arowana is very easy. Just make sure
you keep the water clean.” Duh! Like I don’t already know this? Give me
a break!
The
other chief peeve I had when looking for tips was that I could not find
any English material on arowana care at all! This really frustrated me
because I realized that there were so many of us English speaking
arowana hobbyists who were left high and dry, not knowing what to do
when the 'poo' hits the ceiling! (There was one hard cover book that I
did managed to find after months of searching in the book stores but
unfortunately the information was rather disappointing.)
Don't think I can add more to what would have been said of this very well thought off book for the arowana hobbyists, ... perhaps a little criticism, ... but unfortunately none comes to mind. Well done!! K.K.Yeo |
Over the years, I developed some great relationships with several
experience arowana hobbyist and I have learnt a lot since. I also found
out that many novice hobbyist also faced the same issues like me and
did not know where to get good quality information to supplement what
little they knew about arowana care. I also realize that every hobbyist
had different needs and concerns. This was what started me thinking
about writing a book on arowana care.
When I finally decided to get my butt off the seat and really do this,
I decided that the simplest and fastest way to find out what hobbyists
wanted to know was just ASK! That was exactly what I did..
In
mid 2005, I set up a website and ran a Google Adwords campaign just for
this purpose and I asked arowana enthusiast everywhere to submit their
ONE question that they always wanted to know about arowana care. This
book is basically a result of that campaign. Before I forget, I would
like to sincerely thank all those people who participated in this
survey, without which this book could not had been possible. It has
taken longer than expected to finish this book, but I believe its
quality and completeness is going to be worth your wait!
I had spent many months sifting through pages of information, trying to
ensure that I answered all if not most of the questions asked. It was
hard work, but a labor of love for me and well worth every ounce of
effort. I have learned more about this majestic fish than at any other
point in my life. I must say that as a result, my passion for arowanas
has increased a thousand fold! I don’t expect everyone to understand
this passion, but only arowana ‘devotees’ like me undoubtedly will! :-)
I have received thousands of questions from all over the world, it is
just unbelievable! Below here are just some of the questions which were
sent :- (these queries are verbatim and unedited)
I just recently bought an Australian arrowana 3 weeks ago from an importer and i was very happy on the first few days i got him.He was fine and eating a bit of worms and fish that i fed him. After two weeks i changed ( half change) the water because it was getting a little dark. After i changed the water i noticed that he did not want to eat anything that i give him. I fed him the worm the you normally get from aquarium shops. I also fed him guppies and feeders which he simply ignores. I am kind a worried because i spent a lot of money setting up the aquarium plus paid a good price for the fish. The
fish does not show any signs or manifestations of any disease. In fact
his tail has improved from the time i bought him. It has been a week
now since he last ate a worm. My worry now is that if he does not eat
soon he might die. WHAT SHOULD I DO? I hope you could give me tips on what to do? Thanks, Jose OAvedillo, Philippines Hi thats the biggest question i am wondering about. thanks for your time hope you will have somekind of answer. Amilcar De La Cressonniere, Canada I realised that my arowana's barbels are broken but still slightly attach at the tips of its mouth. The main thing is, i just want to know if the barbels can recover again ... Juraizat,Singapore I just bought a pearl arowana about 4 inches. how many small fish will he need to eat a day? I bought the Tetra food pellets which is especially for arowana for him but i don't think he ate it at all. A lot of pellets got suck up to the filter. So i put some small fish inside the tank, after a while all the fish are gone. Do you think it is better to feed him with food pellets or fish? I'm very busy so i don't have the time to buy the fish for him every 2 days. If i just put the food pellets for him, will he starve? Kent, Malaysia hello i have a few questions. 1. what are good community fish that will go well with arowana. 2. i know all about silver, black and red arowana but recently found a silver with red edge fins for sale around my area, so a full list of every type of arowana would be a must. 3. is it true that u can only have either one or several arowana in one tank and never in pairs? i've seen pairs in restaunts in Taiwan so which one is true. that is my main question cuz i have one silver in a 8 foot tank and scared to put a second one in for that reason. also would love to know when u finish the book me and my group of friends will be very keen for one. thanks jim Jimmy, New Zealand Dear Steven, Kind Regard, Recently I just borought a red arowana 8 - 9 inches in length. I just realized that this arowana only like mealwarms. How can I train this arowana to take frog & market prawn? Alvin Siow, Singapore Is it possible to keep them with other fish? Could you provide me with a list of condidates? I have an established 4 year old Chilly-Red and I need some tips on how if possible do I introduce a new tankmate without it being considered a food item.

Together with the questions consolidated from the survey, all the information that I have compiled in this book is from my personal experience and interaction with other hobbyist and the arowana farms. Nearly all of the pictures you see in this book were taken by me with my trusted digital camera at home and at the farms. When I needed guidance or information beyond my personal experience, I consulted my expert associates at the arowana farm I am involved with.
Let me start by saying that this is no fluffed up, hairy fairy little
book that will give you vague notions or generalized information on
arowana care. I have been as thorough as I can in providing all the
information here. Will this book cover EVERYTHING there is to know
about Arowana care? I can confidently say that it is as complete and
thorough as of TODAY! However rest assured as I will continuously add
information into the book as I deem necessary. This book is 100 pages long
now and full of pictures to help complement and emphasize the
information in it. I always believe that a picture speaks a thousand
words.. don’t you think?

• A bonus chapter in the book about a real arowana farm as well as a
look at the different stages of the arowana fry cycle. I have received
many request to talk about this in more detail which is why I thought
it would be a good idea to include a short chapter on this. This is a
tough business but.. a satisfying one.

opening up to the trading of these beautiful creatures.
