A lovely story. Arawanas are beautiful ,graceful, fish.Unfortunately the fish is to large for my tanks. This man has a passion for these and passion at anything usually means he is good at it. I salute him and his lovely family.
the guy who helped you move the fish killed little red, he poured the fish in the tank right away worh no acclimatization, and were those tanks even properly cycled?
The cycle wasnt the issue. They put her/him way to fast. They should've waited for the temperature in the bag was the same wit the tank & then slowly put in some of the tank water in the bag.
condolence sir. i once have an arowana and died 3 days later because she jumped. i forgot to cover the small whole on my aquarium. but i believe my sadness cant be compared to yours since you and little red shared memories for many years.
i have asian arowana also and its pretty bad to lose a lovely arowana, its not about what arowana you have, its about how you kept her, how you.give efforts and love... happy fish keeping to all keepers
great video, how arowana is so precious even im in love with them and own 2 silver arowanas at home myself and i hate to see anyone die and so i can relate to this adorable family especially the dad's heart and passion in saving these endangering species
You are great person you live for your hobby, i really appreciate your love towards Arowana. I m from India. i love Arowana.thank you sir you motivate me
obviously may not have been shown, but I didn't see the fish acclimate to the new water, plus they put all the fish into the tanks with the water they travelled with. which would have sedative in the water, combined with with all the other fish added the same way with the same water (with sedative). id imagine that was the cause of the fish dying, they was still getting medicated?
Love the video, love the dragons even more, I could watch your video a dozen times and never get bored. Kudos my friend great job and awesome fish. I have 3silver arowanas and can't wait till some day have an Asian breed 🔥🔥🔥
Once you transfer arowana into a new tank, its a new environment for her. You hv to put the plastic into the tank for a few hours, then open the plastic and let her go out by itself
What an End to a beautiful story. I also had the Australian Pearl Arowana few years ago. It was about 6-8 inches in size when I bought it. I raised until she was about 20-22 inches and suddenly one day it died without any obvious reason. I did realise the 4ft tank was not enough for her and was looking for a buyer who could keep her happy in a bigger aquarium but this did not happen. But keeping in Arowana is a very good hobby would encourage anyone who wants to keep one (or many :). One advise, get a 6-8 inches and then raise it.
I am planning to buy an silver Arowana. I prefer to keep Arowana in huge tanks single with good filteration , water changes very low daily, and healthy shrims and home made special food for Arowana.
thats what happens when you dont slowly acclimate a fish to the new water. you cant just throw him in and expect him to survive that. the shock most likley killed it. you would think a guy who has kept fish as long as him would know better than to just toss a fish into different water without acclimating it first.
That was really sad because you can see how much the family loved those fish. You know a really good ending to this story would be to see this owner work towards starting a conservation farm that doesn't just supply arrowana for the industry but breeds them to be reintroduced into the wild in areas like that lake where they are going extinct and maybe name his business after "little red"..... Little Red Dragon Farm (or something like that).
In the video, you can just happen to see those sedatives were polled directly on little red, that might be the reasons why she wasn't so resistant during the capturing, ultimately leading to her dead.
whatever it is... i liked it and appriciate his love towards his fish.. could see from his eyes.. when he saw fish dead.. true love towards his fish.. great..
Poor little red. She was such a nice fish. I had a pet fish I loved so much and then I came home from work and found him dead. It has been six years years since his death that I have brought another fish into my life.
I never figure why I like the Dragon fish so much but I was born on a boat from vietnam going to Malaysia, birth cert over there.. parents named me golden Dragon in Vietnamese "Kim long" I one day would like Togo Malaysia but with all the planes going down I highly doubt I'll go.... Anyways that's my story and thanks for uploading this documentary!
Billy Corners doesn't really mater, it was a big tank, now if they would've left her in the tank with that, now that would be a problem. They should've temperature acclimate and then slowly started to put the tank water in the bag. That would've been way way better than what they did.
Doing water changes every day? Is this some kind of joke?... No offence, I clearly recognize that you and your son are Arowana enthusiasts but if you really want to have a go at keeping an Arowana for more than 10 years than invest in a pond.
Pond won't work in Malaysia considering what wildlife they have there plus laws and what not. Secondly, you won't achieve the same viewpoint of the Arowana as in an aquarium. If anything, he should just save so he can build a house so he has room for his fish and his family.
***** Breeding ponds = Commercial money making ones. Private ponds = Cost hobby. Besides, seeing he lived in that small of an apartment, it doesn't seem he have enough money to buy a house with property for it nor does it seem like he would be able to build up a proper Protection system for the fish since there exist more exotic predators around that area all from snakes to other stuff.
Hi can you please help me out how your maintaining the water parameters for arowana I’m doing so much of exercise to make water soft using chemicals available in market but they are not helping the water becomes hard after few days and my arowana are dying in few days after I get them ... I have lost red aro, 24k , pearl, RTG , silver, in span of 14months
Asian Super Red Arowana, Red Banjar and Green Arowana originally came from Sentarum Lake and Kapuas River in Kalimantan Indonesia. Red tail Golden Arowana came from Mahato River in Sumatra and pearl Arowana can found some in west Papua also in Indonesia and some in Australia.
@@zimi938 yes malaysia have gold head arowana. I know that. And as i said Nami green from Vietnam right? And Super red, pino/green, banjar red are from kapuas River in Kalimantan Indonesia, red tail golden from Mahato River in Riau Sumatra, Indonesia, and yellow spot Jardini from west Papua Indonesia and red spot Jardini from Australia.
I've had large arrowana and flowerhorn Never use seditave on a huge fish like that Also the fish was not properly acclimated even if s h e was not properly acclimated she did not have enough air all they did was run the tank in a situation like that you fill the tank with 5 even 10 air pumps get the water filled with air also there is no reason why they could not have slipped a few battery operated air line in put her in a 40 gal. And transport her that way it's awful
I'm surprised that a fish aficionado was so sloppy in the transport and the reintroduction of his prized fish into new waters. You'd think he'd be more knowledgable about it all.
I don't understand why the fisherman don't try to prevent the loss of wild Arowana populations. If they can feel the impacts of their fishing why not try to get the government to place protected zones for breeding to potentially increase the numbers?
When you configure the ways humans are destroying planet Earth's ability to house life, this one is right up there. This is income. It's not about survival. Income proceeds everything else, and adds to destroying life on Earth. After all,, the goal must be to kill God. When Earth dies.. This God does too. We can't live anywhere else... So what would anyone else call it.
"I don't understand why the fisherman don't try to prevent the loss of wild Arowana populations. " Picture this. You have a family of 5 not including you and your wife. You have kids all under the age of 10. You dont have a job. You can catch this one fish and sell it for a years wages., This is why poaching of any living animal doesnt end. Poor people have no choice.
the most expensive arowana are not golden red but super red. both of this kind can be find in borneo island indonesia insteed of malaysia. this video missleading some information. its shows super red but he's said golden red.
very unfortunate about the death of Arowana The death occurred because of the lack of water prepared in the temporary shelter aquarium and the person who helped move Arowana is not an expert
Eigentlich stammt der rote Arowana am Daumennagel nur aus Indonesien nämlich auf der Insel Kalimantan. In der Natur Malaysiens gibt es keinen roten Arowana..
If no one says anything then crazy lunatics continue to run the world. You need someone like me Kartik Padadadmadmadma. However you pronounce that ridiculous last name. Get yourself an American name and be important. No one will remember you when you leave this earth. You aren't important.
Kartik, you act like being a doctor is an honorable thing? How many people are you going to rip off by taking all of their money and giving them sub-par help. You're no better than a lawyer or a sleaze ball politician. Stop, you're not important.
An opaque bag would have been less stressful, and they didn't even acclimate to temp/water - just put her from the bag to the tank. That's all just bad practice that probably killed her. Paint toxins would have killed the other fish in there too. So sad. Bad mistakes.
It was most likely the paint toxin that got into the tank. more than likely the water was similar to the water they were using before and the temp wouldn't haven't killed her unless it was 10+ degrees or more difference.
I guess so, I did the same thing w/ my koi. One mistake, and it killed all of my koi fish in the tank 😭😭 I just directly put everything on the tank. Now I lost my interest in keeping big fishes after all I've been through to keep 'em all. 😩😭
he had the fricking fish for 6 years never knew how to color him up whit shrimp or better lighting,let someone else handle your fish he looked scared when the fish shopowner wants to trow a juice in to calm the fished .then he dropped fish in a room were there was open paint cans allover and still working en drying in a room dude wtf were u thinking
I really respect and like this wonderful lady, who's full of positive energy and love. There should be more of this encouraging people!
Better love story than twilight
This guy was so passionate about this fish species that he proposed it be made into the national fish of his country. Respect, honestly.
Wife smiles even when addressing the annoyances...
She is such a sweetheart.
What wonderful fish !
A lovely story. Arawanas are beautiful ,graceful, fish.Unfortunately the fish is to large for my tanks. This man has a passion for these and passion at anything usually means he is good at it. I salute him and his lovely family.
I love that you shared this experience with the world. You have a beautiful home and family!
YOU WORTH IT!
Such a hardworker
May god bless all of your family
still happy that young generation wants to keep fish
The wife isn't crying for the fish,those are tears of joy she got rid of the side fish
Omg this comment is amazing.
Lmaooooooo
+Daniel Isabelle THIS IS THAT ALLAHU SNACK-BAR!!! CHANNEL.
You gave her the fish stick everyday
+Daniel Isabelle Tell me why I was thinking the same, like we know she's truly happy. Now shes ready for all the rest to die, lol.
Amazing story! Such an inspiration!!
They live 50 years in the wild but only 10 in captivity? Wow that should tell you something
I legit cried when the kids was talking about little red at the end and was touching the tv ........... I'm still crying
the guy who helped you move the fish killed little red, he poured the fish in the tank right away worh no acclimatization, and were those tanks even properly cycled?
Meh i dont think tank cycle was the issue..No acclimation and i think way too much clove oil..
The cycle wasnt the issue. They put her/him way to fast. They should've waited for the temperature in the bag was the same wit the tank & then slowly put in some of the tank water in the bag.
But no, they just *bloop* put her in.
Exactly
VIC!!!!
It's such a beautiful documentary
This has to be the best Arowana doc on the net, just a shame it has such a sad ending
condolence sir. i once have an arowana and died 3 days later because she jumped. i forgot to cover the small whole on my aquarium. but i believe my sadness cant be compared to yours since you and little red shared memories for many years.

I really like this Video... Respect to you Mr. Chew..
This man give his life for Arowana.
My respect to him.
great video, how arowana is so precious even im in love with them and own 2 silver arowanas at home myself and i hate to see anyone die and so i can relate to this adorable family especially the dad's heart and passion in saving these endangering species
You are great person you live for your hobby, i really appreciate your love towards Arowana. I m from India. i love Arowana.thank you sir you motivate me
Thanks for sharing your family's story
obviously may not have been shown, but I didn't see the fish acclimate to the new water, plus they put all the fish into the tanks with the water they travelled with. which would have sedative in the water, combined with with all the other fish added the same way with the same water (with sedative). id imagine that was the cause of the fish dying, they was still getting medicated?
this legit made me cry. he loved lil red so much😭💓🐟
expensive fishes he had there but he opted for cheapest and easiest way to move his fish to the new environment.
Beautiful family and really beautiful fish. Arowana its one of my favorite fish
Love the video, love the dragons even more, I could watch your video a dozen times and never get bored. Kudos my friend great job and awesome fish. I have 3silver arowanas and can't wait till some day have an Asian breed 🔥🔥🔥
An Extraordinary doc, sure it's a lesson and an experience for lot of people. Cheers... for Lil RED
Once you transfer arowana into a new tank, its a new environment for her. You hv to put the plastic into the tank for a few hours, then open the plastic and let her go out by itself
Excellent video, the Arrowana is one of my favourite fish. I hope one day to own one.
I am so sorry to hear you lost Little Red, She was so beautiful, one of a Kind.
Good story about Little Red. Wish you all the best in keeping arowana.
What an End to a beautiful story.
I also had the Australian Pearl Arowana few years ago. It was about 6-8 inches in size when I bought it. I raised until she was about 20-22 inches and suddenly one day it died without any obvious reason.
I did realise the 4ft tank was not enough for her and was looking for a buyer who could keep her happy in a bigger aquarium but this did not happen.
But keeping in Arowana is a very good hobby would encourage anyone who wants to keep one (or many :).
One advise, get a 6-8 inches and then raise it.
Absolutely beautiful fish. I love the way you take care.
I love this and the story!
这个家庭真的不简单，我没看过一个家庭有养超过四十条龙鱼每一条都是顶级红龙，只是鱼都超过50千，真的是佩服佩服呀
Beautiful documentary and arowanas...
So sad, You passion for these is very strong. You have beautiful tanks. Beautiful video, I enjoyed.
I am planning to buy an silver Arowana. I prefer to keep Arowana in huge tanks single with good filteration , water changes very low daily, and healthy shrims and home made special food for Arowana.
thats what happens when you dont slowly acclimate a fish to the new water. you cant just throw him in and expect him to survive that. the shock most likley killed it. you would think a guy who has kept fish as long as him would know better than to just toss a fish into different water without acclimating it first.
How to do that ?? And why other fishes managed not this one??
That was really sad because you can see how much the family loved those fish. You know a really good ending to this story would be to see this owner work towards starting a conservation farm that doesn't just supply arrowana for the industry but breeds them to be reintroduced into the wild in areas like that lake where they are going extinct and maybe name his business after "little red"..... Little Red Dragon Farm (or something like that).
be strong bro..i know how it feels of loosing our favourite fish
his hobby is at another level, I feel u sir, but the different is Im an aquatic turtle lover
I CANT WAIT FOR LENT!!!!
I see what you did there 😆
"After the documentary I made about how collectors are driving the Arowana to extinction the first thing I did was become a collector"
He collects only farm breed ones.
Thankyou for sharing your beautiful story about Arowana sir
In the video, you can just happen to see those sedatives were polled directly on little red, that might be the reasons why she wasn't so resistant during the capturing, ultimately leading to her dead.
whatever it is... i liked it and appriciate his love towards his fish.. could see from his eyes.. when he saw fish dead.. true love towards his fish.. great..
That was poetic. Well said.
Nice documentary.. and beautiful fish the chilli red. That guy is really passionate.
i think the sedatives in the bag was not removed and was poured into the main tank along with the red
Poor little red. She was such a nice fish. I had a pet fish I loved so much and then I came home from work and found him dead. It has been six years years since his death that I have brought another fish into my life.
Did he not climatized the fish before letting it into the new tank?
im more curious what was in the water bottle her poured in to sedate the fish
did you ever acclimate an arowna before?....its hard man its hard
Probably clove oil.
Love watching this video a true arowana hobbyist
I never figure why I like the Dragon fish so much but I was born on a boat from vietnam going to Malaysia, birth cert over there.. parents named me golden Dragon in Vietnamese "Kim long" I one day would like Togo Malaysia but with all the planes going down I highly doubt I'll go.... Anyways that's my story and thanks for uploading this documentary!
Thanks for the upload.
i agree with other ppl that the fish died b/c of temperature shock. must always acclimate them to new tank! .
what about the drugs he poured in?
Billy Corners doesn't really mater, it was a big tank, now if they would've left her in the tank with that, now that would be a problem. They should've temperature acclimate and then slowly started to put the tank water in the bag. That would've been way way better than what they did.
Billy Corners that was clove oil most probably
arowanas have scales which helps them tolerate temperature.
I really love ur passion for arowana
amazing you did a great job very inspiring!
Boss where is this place where they catch aroawana in the wild?
RIP little red. I never knew you, but i still miss you.
Doing water changes every day? Is this some kind of joke?...
No offence, I clearly recognize that you and your son are Arowana enthusiasts but if you really want to have a go at keeping an Arowana for more than 10 years than invest in a pond.

That is true. But I doubt it would still be ideal where he lives.

they love to look at them and show it off I mean who the fuk has a 3-4 foot fish in their house
Hi can you please help me out how your maintaining the water parameters for arowana I’m doing so much of exercise to make water soft using chemicals available in market but they are not helping the water becomes hard after few days and my arowana are dying in few days after I get them ... I have lost red aro, 24k , pearl, RTG , silver, in span of 14months
I watched this arowana video a few times coolest 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😍😍😄
I can feel your pain of losing a pet that you love so much. I love birds and fish the most. may God help you.
Why she die at the end ? because of the water condition ? moving ?
Asian Super Red Arowana, Red Banjar and Green Arowana originally came from Sentarum Lake and Kapuas River in Kalimantan Indonesia. Red tail Golden Arowana came from Mahato River in Sumatra and pearl Arowana can found some in west Papua also in Indonesia and some in Australia.
How about the malaysian golden arowana. Where did they coming from?
@@zimi938 That's from Malaysia's Sabah/Serawak still part of Borneo/Kalimantan Island. And one more Nami Green Arowana i think from Vietnam.
Yudi Fadh do u know bukit merah in perak malaysia? The home of malaysian golden arowana. Btw no arowana in sabah and sarawak.
@@zimi938 yes malaysia have gold head arowana. I know that. And as i said Nami green from Vietnam right? And Super red, pino/green, banjar red are from kapuas River in Kalimantan Indonesia, red tail golden from Mahato River in Riau Sumatra, Indonesia, and yellow spot Jardini from west Papua Indonesia and red spot Jardini from Australia.
I'm talking about original inhabitat, not by farming
Hi uncle why we must put pink light for super red aro?
It was so emotional i cried😢😭😭😭
A young arowana on malaysia cost around Rm40 while the adult one is around Rm200+
some are even 5000+. it depends on the type...
Sorry for your loss , i offer my deepest condolences .
21:07 can anyone tell me the name of this type of lawn grass?
arima44 cow grass
arima44 Savannah grass
great video!
I've had large arrowana and flowerhorn
Never use seditave on a huge fish like that
Also the fish was not properly acclimated even if s h e was not properly acclimated she did not have enough air all they did was run the tank in a situation like that you fill the tank with 5 even 10 air pumps get the water filled with air also there is no reason why they could not have slipped a few battery operated air line in put her in a 40 gal. And transport her that way it's awful
I wish this cool family lots of success in breeding Asian arowanas so one they can be legal to own in the USA. One day I'll have one😁
I'm surprised that a fish aficionado was so sloppy in the transport and the reintroduction of his prized fish into new waters. You'd think he'd be more knowledgable about it all.
How exactly are you maintaining the water parameters
I don't understand why the fisherman don't try to prevent the loss of wild Arowana populations. If they can feel the impacts of their fishing why not try to get the government to place protected zones for breeding to potentially increase the numbers?

Billy Corners fr tho. This one fish, if sold, can feed his family for like 1-2 months.
Because of greediness
the most expensive arowana are not golden red but super red. both of this kind can be find in borneo island indonesia insteed of malaysia. this video missleading some information. its shows super red but he's said golden red.
The most expensive in the world still platinum arowana. Second is malaysian golden based on tiongkok market
very unfortunate about the death of Arowana
The death occurred because of the lack of water prepared in the temporary shelter aquarium
and the person who helped move Arowana is not an expert
Boss nice to eat besides big super red arowana.kudoz to you.hope you win someday in a competition..
i feel the same with the father my dog just passed away just couples of hours
Eigentlich stammt der rote Arowana am Daumennagel nur aus Indonesien nämlich auf der Insel Kalimantan. In der Natur Malaysiens gibt es keinen roten Arowana..
try to lake Sentarum Kalimantan, perhaps there is still a lot of arowana
In Asia it's said that when an arowana dies, it's because the owner was supposed to but the arowana sacrifices themself to save the owner out of love.
That's not a true statement but something a crazy Asian would say to make himself feel better about losing an expensive fish. LOL!
Please go back to the Gypsum board Church you crawled out of. Leave Asia and its culture alone.
If no one says anything then crazy lunatics continue to run the world. You need someone like me Kartik Padadadmadmadma. However you pronounce that ridiculous last name. Get yourself an American name and be important. No one will remember you when you leave this earth. You aren't important.

Wow, you're a dumbass.
An opaque bag would have been less stressful, and they didn't even acclimate to temp/water - just put her from the bag to the tank. That's all just bad practice that probably killed her. Paint toxins would have killed the other fish in there too. So sad. Bad mistakes.

Great vid
Acute stress is a serious thing in the fish keeping hobby.
I believe they could have taken extra steps to prevent "Little Red's" passing.
That sedative must have killed it
I remember when my Arowana died , my mom cried the most :(
Little red didnt acclimated first, and then who think the aquarium is crowded too? Too many bubbles in the top of the surface seems fishy to me.
R those tiger bards in the tank ???
The fish was fine till other dude put the sedative in the water.
true. i believe this was the reason of her death.
it was the paint, just like what happen our golden albino. he is so stupid bringing his fish while painting the house.
it's the formula he made for the fish to calm down it was way to concentrated and he knows it
Best man! 👍💚
he had the fricking fish for 6 years never knew how to color him up whit shrimp or better lighting,let someone else handle your fish he looked scared when the fish shopowner wants to trow a juice in to calm the fished .then he dropped fish in a room were there was open paint cans allover and still working en drying in a room dude wtf were u thinking
The fish had become offering for the spirits of the new house.... the house seems not yet blessed yet before the fish are shifted .
Did u get the water acclimated or just dumped her in the new Aquarius? Looks like u dumped her in and didn't leave her in the bag!!
Hi uncle, how long u on the light for ur arowana?
It's "stress" that causes this arowana to die. Fish can't handle stress well. They'll cease to eat and die gradually.
Apa nama kedai arowana kat kuala lumpur tu? Ada alamat tak kedai arowana tu tak? Ada no phone tak? Saya nak beli malaysian gold.
