My Video of Fish Hobbyist Trips (Asian Arowanas)

Look me up taking the videos.Hope you enjoy and find these footages a learning experience.

Really spankin' Setup, very professional.

Please explain to me though , why people think it's necessary to have loud music that have lyrics I can't make out or understand? to me, ruins the viewing so muted it.

Otherwise, really neat setups, spotlessly clean and making me envious.

Anyone who mentions age will be hit with my Zimmerframe.

Kev ....you must really be getting old... I cant hear any music at all...(not my computer as I can hear music on other videos)you must be "Imagining" the really loud music are you ...? Ahh Bless.....

Darren i would love to have your set up! if you want to clear out to start again i will take it:laugh: ooooops to checky:woohoo:

Thanks everyone. This is a compilation of many pre-Ireland (Philippines) videos I took across different hobbyist fishrooms, sponsors, breeders and some of my org bits. I have some videos taken in my Nokia (bad choice)which had more fish variety and stock. I miss those times - the breeders, sponsor shops and hobbyists have very close ties. Arowana keeping back home is quite a turn around in terms of what I've seen here - bare, minimalist set-ups are a must to keeping Asian arowanas. The biggest tank you can afford and the most expensive filtration you can set-up. Then the arowana is the centerpiece. Though as of late hobbyists are getting more more into communities which is a paradigm shift from single fish set-ups. Now, as in other Asian neighbors esp Japan are now getting 3 or more arowanas in one huge tank, then stocking with usual tankmates (Clownloaches, Bichirs, Catfishes, stingrays, silverdollars/ black-banded red hooks, peacock bass and Tiger Perch) - All big growing fish! As of late, hobbyists back home have converged minimalists to planted with a centerpiece bogwood with some anubias!One of the major shifts of thinking is feeding live food (lots of people home arenow mixing up protein mixes and blends to feed their arowanas) which I have changed about 3 years before I left in 2007. I had my arowanas trained to eat floating high protein pellets rather than feeding frogs and fish.


Oh and about the video music background - I asked my teenage son to mix that - sorry if it had offended anyone. Should have placed a warning hahaha...or just mute for silence appreciation. Anyway I think YouTube took out the music for me hehehe....bless them!

Sorry Ian

Just me being grumpy, I loved your Video, I just notice that it seems that everything from toilet roll ads to you name it, has to be accompanied by music, even the wonderful David Attenborough Documentaries have endless thumping music accompanying Cheetahs chasing Dinner, maybe it's just me but well done.

HI Kev, apologies not required. I need to consider instrumentals fit for purpose at times.
