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.
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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..
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 🔥🔥🔥
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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).
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.
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 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.
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
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
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
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. 😩😭
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.
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.
when pump oxigen to the plastic bag will cause the water PH change in short to more than 7. Means if the journey to new place is not far, better pump normal air and little oxigen. Temperature might not the main issue, because malaysia weather is stable. And outdoor aquarium might cause fish feel stress, because is too bright to compare with indoor and too many movement object... For fish pond outdoor is ok, but aquarium is not. And they also use the chemical to make the fish feel stress free, but might be too much can cause side effect.
Sang Nguyen Who knows how long those bags were sitting in the hot sun? Also, the ongoing renovations probably affected the water chemistry. Perhaps simply the stress of moving killed her. Either way, always sad to lose an old friend like that.
THE ZOMBIE TRAINER 1) endangered 2) red aro are dificult to groom, it may take 5 to 6 years for them to go fully red, even some low quality super red may only turn orange when adult, the more red your arowana the more expensive they become.
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
Wife smiles even when addressing the annoyances...
She is such a sweetheart.
What wonderful fish !
This guy was so passionate about this fish species that he proposed it be made into the national fish of his country. Respect, honestly.
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.
still happy that young generation wants to keep fish
I love that you shared this experience with the world. You have a beautiful home and 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?
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!!!!
YOU WORTH IT!
Such a hardworker
May god bless all of your family
They live 50 years in the wild but only 10 in captivity? Wow that should tell you something
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.
This has to be the best Arowana doc on the net, just a shame it has such a sad ending
I legit cried when the kids was talking about little red at the end and was touching the tv ........... I'm still crying
Amazing story! Such an inspiration!!
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
expensive fishes he had there but he opted for cheapest and easiest way to move his fish to the new environment.
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
It's such a beautiful documentary
Beautiful family and really beautiful fish. Arowana its one of my favorite fish
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.
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
This man give his life for Arowana.
My respect to him.
this legit made me cry. he loved lil red so much😭💓🐟
I really like this Video... Respect to you Mr. Chew..
An Extraordinary doc, sure it's a lesson and an experience for lot of people. Cheers... for Lil RED
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?
I am so sorry to hear you lost Little Red, She was so beautiful, one of a Kind.
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.
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
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.
I love this and the story!
be strong bro..i know how it feels of loosing our favourite fish
Excellent video, the Arrowana is one of my favourite fish. I hope one day to own one.
Thanks for sharing your family's story
"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.
Absolutely beautiful fish. I love the way you take care.
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 🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful documentary and arowanas...
So sad, You passion for these is very strong. You have beautiful tanks. Beautiful video, I enjoyed.
Good story about Little Red. Wish you all the best in keeping arowana.
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.
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.
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??
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.
amazing you did a great job very inspiring!
Nice documentary.. and beautiful fish the chilli red. That guy is really passionate.
Love watching this video a true arowana hobbyist
I CANT WAIT FOR LENT!!!!
I see what you did there 😆
his hobby is at another level, I feel u sir, but the different is Im an aquatic turtle lover
RIP little red. I never knew you, but i still miss you.
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
Thankyou for sharing your beautiful story about Arowana sir
Thanks for the upload.

I really love ur passion for arowana
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.
i think the sedatives in the bag was not removed and was poured into the main tank along with the red
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.

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?

I'm talking about original inhabitat, not by farming
Hi uncle why we must put pink light for super red aro?
How exactly are you maintaining the water parameters
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.
Aqui em 2017 só pra admirar mais uma vez....... o/
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 was so emotional i cried😢😭😭😭
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 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
Boss where is this place where they catch aroawana in the wild?
That sedative must have killed it
Awesome movie man love it
Why she die at the end ? because of the water condition ? moving ?
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

I watched this arowana video a few times coolest 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😍😍😄
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 feel the same with the father my dog just passed away just couples of hours
Best man! 👍💚
woow.terbaik bro...
I remember when my Arowana died , my mom cried the most :(
Hi uncle, how long u on the light for ur arowana?
I love this family, that really heartbreaking when Little Red dead.

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.

Shouts out to wife: “what’s for dinner?” Wife replies: little red😏😏😏😏
A young arowana on malaysia cost around Rm40 while the adult one is around Rm200+
some are even 5000+. it depends on the type...
try to lake Sentarum Kalimantan, perhaps there is still a lot of arowana
what were the soundtracks used please?
I'm sure the sedative killed the fish
100%
kind of what i was thinking
they shocked the fish by not letting it adjusting to the water. transfering the fish too fast will kill it.
Sang Nguyen Who knows how long those bags were sitting in the hot sun? Also, the ongoing renovations probably affected the water chemistry. Perhaps simply the stress of moving killed her. Either way, always sad to lose an old friend like that.
1.000% agree
What makes the fish so expensive?
THE ZOMBIE TRAINER
1) endangered
2) red aro are dificult to groom, it may take 5 to 6 years for them to go fully red, even some low quality super red may only turn orange when adult, the more red your arowana the more expensive they become.
