They can grow up to 3 feet long, so they need a large tank with ample swimming space.
Start with at least a 250-gallon tank for a single adult Arowana.
Arowanas often jump out of tanks. Use a tight, secure lid to avoid accidents.
Feed them live food like insects, shrimp, and small fish for best health and growth.
Arowanas require pristine water conditions—frequent water changes are a must.
They stress easily due to noise, movement, or tank mates, affecting their health.
Not ideal for community tanks—they can be territorial and aggressive.
Some Arowana species like Asian Arowanas are protected and restricted in many countries.
They are expensive to buy and maintain—think of them as luxury aquarium pets.
