Harvest of Panda Gold Cross Back Asian Arowana

Having already detailed the process of harvesting Panda Red arowana in another article (see: Harvest of Panda Red Asian Arowana), I will not go into much detail here. Suffice it to say that the same procedures of laying the nets and cornering the arowanas were repeated in the next pond. This time, the golden crossback arowanas will be harvested.

The well-trained and experienced workers soon identified the male brooders. With a firm grip, the male brooder’s jaws were unlocked easily and this time, close to twenty crossback fries were released! It was quite a bountiful harvest, wasn’t it?

A very happy Mr.Kan

 

A special offer for Asian arowana keepers in Singapore:

Mr. Kan welcomes all arowana keepers in Singapore to be a part of the arowana farming experience by offering a unique scheme in which good quality arowanas above a certain age can be paired up and put into the breeding program. You only need to have 1 good quality adult size arowana to participate. If your arowana does breed, you will benefit financially and also be able to have the offspring of your own favourite arowana! This new breeding program is open to all good quality red and gold arowanas.
Those interested in this program, kindly contact Panda Aquatics for more details.
