Two Headed Snake - Amazing Nature






Two Headed Snake - Amazing Nature

And for harvesting, the arowana has to be taken care off tenderly & requires special skills.
"Harvesting" is the term used by arowana growers to refer to the process of taking the eggs out from the male fish's mouth. For many watching the 'arowana harvesting' process is something in which each step is filled with awe as it all depends on how well the arowana opens his mouth & closes which gives the final amazing results
