Re: Transporting arrowana

Neat, 

I see some babies now and then in a shop in downtown Mississauga that still 
have the yolk sack attached.  I'm planning on breeding angels, rams, and 
ultimately discus and was thinking that feeding an arrowana some of the 
culls would be interesting and it would benefit from the same water 
conditions I'm sure.
