X-ray of an Asian arowana
So this is kind of a funny story. I import Asian arowana to Canada under the www.dragonfish.ca name. A couple weeks ago an old customer of mine from 4 years ago contacted me to say he had lost the certificate for a Dreamfish gold tail emerald (yellow tail) he bought through me. He lives about an hour away by car and so we had to coordinate a time for me to visit. When I mentioned that some veterinarians have chip readers he said he would check with a nearby one so as to save me the travel time. I also told him that on occasion the chip can fall out of an aro as it grows up.
When the veterinarian was not able to read a chip in the fish using his chip reader, they decided to take an X-ray to see if it was still there. Sure enough, it was there. It turned out the vet's chip reader used a different frequency than that used by the chip in the aro. After all that trouble, I made my way out to the customer's place and did the chip read using my chip reader. All worked out fine and the fish is now on its way to a new owner. i will contact Nic at Dreamfish and arrange for a replacement certificate with my next order. I have an X-ray photo (note chip in shoulder), along with a few photos I took of the fish. This is the first time I have ever seen an X-ray of an Asian arowana :) I can't figure out how to upload the photos here, so here is the link to a post i made in Canada that has the photos attached: http://www.arowanaclub.ca/forums/sho...9664#post49664 http://www.arowanaclub.ca/forums/att...5&d=1466207164 http://www.arowanaclub.ca/forums/att...8&d=1466207189 |

Many thanks for sharing this interesting pc of info. Owned a XB from Dreamfish myself for 6 yrs old.
I've just returned from a 2 week holiday at Beautiful British Colombia. Visited the city, Jasper, Banff national parks...really beautiful places with nice & friendly people. Out of curiosity, where is the arowana club in Canada located? Maybe I can pay a visit the next time I'm there. Cheers to all the wonderful Canadian beers I've drunk :D |
interesting info.:)
