Arowana Pairing Question?
 

Do Arowanas stay paired for life?
or do they change partners occasionally?
Reason for Asking is I had a pair before.
They laid eggs but i was not here so was not able to harvest from the males mouth, But before his partner he had another partner in the comm,
So in My comm i have 2 which i know are females and 1 confirmed male.

Now when i got back from overseas, after a few days the female was Was able to get through the divider and mixed with my separated comm.
I eft her there for a few weeks, now when i tried to move her in with the male again, I'm not sure if they're paired , but her tail is quite torn,
So I think they might have separated.
If i they are paired and i leave them together by themselve , will they stay paired?
I have now released the comm again, so the male can choose who he wants .
I'm only sure of the sex of 3 aros in my comm though.

my Male red just changed partner again :(
This is the 3rd partner, ipreferred him staying with the 2nd one
now i know my N1wan red is a female too.

I'm suspecting i have lots of female and maybe only 1 male red :(

How old are your reds?

the elkindo is 6-7 years old.
my others are about 4 years old.
This elkindo has sop far paired with 3 different aros in my comm.
and had laid eggs with the 2nd one twice.

hi bro,

Mine don't pair for life!

I pair the aro in a tank and the male XB got its eggs from 1st female (1F) and hold for a month before he lost all the eggs.
Put it back to a com of 3 and same male hold the eggs again with 2nd female (2F) and this time for 3 mths.

Now the problem comes. After harvesting he became very aggressive. I tried putting him with 1F & 2F in a comm and 1F got badly injured; chase by the male & 2F. The male seem comfortable with 2F.
Now i've tried putting only the male & 2F, and result is not there. The male became too aggressive whenever i put only the 2 in a com. Now he don't pair with any.

Hope that help.

Thanks for sharing bro, were you able to harvest fries? My male also quite aggressive

Yes bro Squid.
Monitor closely. :D

Nice thanks bro :) will monitor my pair closely :)

If u ready only got one male i were suggest u to comm all the fish together more chance of pairing n less fight :)

thanks, I've separated them, he's got another pair.
this male is a playboy
