Houdini - a Silver Arowana (Osteoglossum bicirrhosum)

More than anything my swortails got into trouble the most! I tried to raise some, I would the female inthe birth tank for three weeks, because she looked ready! No matter how many times I would stick her in there, she would hold them until I would let her out, the the next day, she's not pregnant, and no babies to be found! everyone else looked happily fed!

Then once, I caught a Bluegill, and put it in the tank, the next morning, there was the sword part of the tail poking out of it's mouth! I got pissed and poked it with a pin, then the Plecostomus smelled the blood and attacked & killed it!

Fish are a lot like cats really, if there is a little space they will 99.9% likely get stuck in, they usually bet on the 0.1% chance they won't!! :D

I'm glad you finally found the fish :) I have a tiny otocinclus who has disappeared, I doubt I will ever find it!

When I was younger, I had my fish tank in my bedroom, and I was always finding a dead swordtail across the room on the floor in the morning! Those fish would always get into trouble somehow! :) I ha an under gravel filter, and one would always follow the red-tail shark down in the tubes to go under the gravel! The shark would come out after awhile, but the swordtail wouldn't! I would lift the filter & gravel up, and there he always was, waiting for rescue! :)

Nice post DD, I was only looking at some Arowana the other day and thinking how nice they were :)
