Arowana

Description

The Arowana, also known as the Dragon Fish, is an iconic freshwater species revered for its grandeur and beauty. Originating from the rivers and lakes of South America, Asia, and Australia, Arowanas are large and powerful predators known for their distinctive elongated bodies, sharp barbels, and impressive jumping ability. These magnificent fish exhibit striking coloration, including shades of silver, gold, green, and red, which shimmer under aquarium lighting. Arowanas are carnivorous and require a diet rich in protein, consisting of live foods, insects, and high-quality pellets or flakes. Due to their large size and active nature, Arowanas need spacious tanks with ample swimming room and sturdy tank decorations. Despite their territorial behavior, Arowanas can coexist with compatible tankmates, such as large, peaceful species that inhabit different water levels. With proper care and a suitable environment, Arowanas can live for several decades, captivating fish enthusiasts with their beauty and grace.
