How to Care for Arowana Fish: Complete Guide

Mastering how to care for arowana fish or any aquarium world’s most magnificent creatures. Our comprehensive guide covers everything from tank requirements and feeding schedules to disease prevention and breeding techniques, ensuring your arowana thrives in captivity while maintaining its regal beauty and vibrant health. Keeping an arowana fish represents one of aquaculture’s most rewarding challenges. These ancient predators, often called dragon fish, command attention with their metallic scales and graceful movements. Yet their care demands precision, patience, and a genuine commitment to creating an environment where these remarkable creatures can flourish.

The journey to successful arowana keeping begins with understanding that these are not beginner fish. Their substantial size, specific environmental needs, and sensitive nature require experienced hands. According to PetMD’s research, arowanas can grow up to two inches per month during their first year, a growth rate that catches many unprepared keepers off guard.

Understanding Arowana Fish Biology

Before setting up any equipment, grasp what makes these fish unique. Arowanas belong to the Osteoglossidae family, an ancient lineage that has survived for millions of years. Their elongated bodies, covered in large metallic scales, serve both aesthetic and practical purposes. The distinctive upturned mouth and long barbels near their lower jaw help them detect movement on the water’s surface, where they naturally hunt.

These surface feeders possess a unique bony tongue structure that helps crush prey. Biology Dictionary notes that this adaptation allows them to consume larger prey items than you might expect for their jaw size. In their natural habitat across South America, Asia, Australia, and Africa, they inhabit slow-moving waters, flooded forests, and river tributaries where they can patrol the upper water column.

The National Zoo’s observations highlight their incredible jumping ability. Wild arowanas regularly leap from the water to snatch insects, small birds, and even bats from low-hanging branches. This behaviour has earned them another nickname: water monkeys.

Essential Tank Setup Requirements

Tank Size and Dimensions

Space matters dramatically for arowana health. Juveniles might survive temporarily in smaller environments, but planning for adult size prevents future complications and stress-related health issues.

Fish Size	Minimum Tank Volume	Recommended Dimensions
Juvenile (4-8 inches)	60 gallons	4 ft x 1.5 ft x 1.5 ft
Sub-adult (8-16 inches)	150 gallons	5 ft x 2 ft x 2 ft
Adult Silver Arowana	250-300 gallons	6 ft x 2.5 ft x 2.5 ft
Adult Asian/Australian	220 gallons minimum	6 ft x 2 ft x 2 ft
Large Adult (24+ inches)	400-800 gallons	8 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft

The Smithsonian’s Living Planet Aquarium emphasizes that horizontal swimming space matters more than tank height. These fish patrol territories horizontally, so length and width take priority over depth.

Glass thickness cannot be compromised. Arowanas generate substantial force, and tanks with glass thinner than half an inch risk catastrophic failure. We recommend professional-grade aquariums built specifically for monster fish, and the tank stand must support the enormous weight involved.

Water Parameters and Quality

Maintaining stable water conditions separates successful keepers from those who struggle with constant health problems. Research from aquarium specialists confirms that parameter stability matters more than hitting exact numbers.

Critical Water Parameters:

• Temperature: 75-86°F (24-30°C)
• pH Level: 6.0-7.5 (soft to slightly acidic)
• Ammonia: 0 ppm (absolutely critical)
• Nitrite: 0 ppm (equally critical)
• Nitrate: Below 20 ppm (lower is better)
• Water Hardness: 5-12 dGH

Arowanas show particular sensitivity to nitrates, unlike many other large fish. Weekly partial water changes of 25-30% help maintain optimal conditions. Some experienced keepers perform smaller daily changes, which creates even more stable conditions.

Investment in quality test kits pays dividends. The API Master Test Kit or similar products allow accurate monitoring of these parameters. Digital thermometers provide more reliable readings than stick-on versions.

Filtration and Circulation

These fish produce substantial waste, making robust filtration non-negotiable. Your filter system should process the entire tank volume at least four times hourly. For a 250-gallon tank, aim for filters rated at 1,000 gallons per hour minimum.

Recommended Filtration Options:

• External canister filters (FX6, Eheim 2260)
• Sump filtration systems
• Multiple hang-on-back power filters
• Custom wet/dry trickle systems

Aquarium Store guidance suggests combining mechanical, biological, and chemical filtration methods. Mechanical filtration removes particulate matter, biological filtration processes ammonia and nitrites through beneficial bacteria colonies, while chemical filtration (activated carbon) removes dissolved organic compounds and odours.

Water circulation should create moderate to strong current without creating areas where your arowana struggles to swim. Position filter outflows to generate circular flow patterns that mimic river currents.

Lighting and Tank Placement

Position your aquarium in a quiet area away from direct sunlight, windows, and high-traffic zones. According to PetMD’s care research, arowanas startle easily, and sudden movements or bright lights trigger stress responses.

Lighting serves two purposes: viewing your fish and potentially enhancing coloration. Standard aquarium lights work fine for silver arowanas and most species. However, keepers of red or golden varieties often use specialized tanning lights to intensify coloration. Keep photoperiods consistent at 10-12 hours daily.

Tank Lid and Safety

Never underestimate arowana jumping ability. These fish can clear several feet when startled or hunting. A secure, fitted lid with no gaps prevents injuries and escapes. Some keepers use netting or acrylic covers, but whatever method you choose, ensure complete coverage with adequate ventilation.

Feeding Your Arowana: Nutrition and Diet

Understanding Dietary Needs

Carnivorous arowanas require high-protein diets rich in essential nutrients. In nature, they consume insects, smaller fish, crustaceans, and occasionally small reptiles or amphibians. Captive diets should replicate this variety while ensuring balanced nutrition.

Feeding research from MonsterFishKeepers demonstrates that variety prevents nutritional deficiencies. Relying exclusively on one food type, however convenient, creates health problems over time.

Primary Food Sources

High-Quality Pellets and Sticks

Specially formulated arowana pellets or sticks (Hikari Massivore, Omega One Super Color) should form the foundation. These contain balanced proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Look for products listing whole fish or fish meal as primary ingredients.

Live Foods

• Market Prawns: Excellent protein source and natural colour enhancer. Feed whole with shells for larger fish, remove shells for juveniles.
• Crickets: Stimulate hunting instincts, high protein content.
• Mealworms and Superworms: Convenient, protein-rich, but relatively high in fat.
• Earthworms: Highly nutritious when gut-loaded with quality food.
• Small Fish: Guppies, rosy red minnows (avoid overfeeding goldfish due to high fat content).
• Grasshoppers: Low fat, high protein option for adults.

Frozen Foods

Frozen market shrimp, krill, fish fillets, and bloodworms provide convenience with good nutritional value. Thaw completely before feeding and remove any uneaten portions promptly.

Feeding Schedule and Portions

Age and size determine feeding frequency. According to hygger’s nutritional research, juveniles need more frequent meals to support rapid growth:

Juvenile Arowanas (Under 12 months):

• Feed 2-3 times daily
• Small portions consumed within 2-3 minutes
• Focus on growth-supporting foods

Adult Arowanas (Over 12 months):

• Feed once daily or every other day
• Larger portions consumed within 5 minutes
• Consider occasional fasting days

Overfeeding causes more problems than underfeeding. Obesity, swim bladder issues, and water quality degradation all stem from excessive feeding. Monitor your fish’s body condition and adjust accordingly.

Foods to Avoid or Limit

While arowanas eat almost anything, certain foods require caution:

• Goldfish: High fat content makes them unsuitable as staples
• Mammalian meat: Difficult to digest, can cause bloating
• Fatty insects: Limit waxworms and other high-fat options
• Sharp-edged foods: Remove shrimp head gear to prevent intestinal injury

Common Health Issues and Disease Prevention

Preventive Care Fundamentals

Prevention beats treatment every time. Health research documented by hygger shows that most arowana diseases stem from poor water quality, stress, or nutritional deficiencies.

Prevention Strategies:

• Maintain pristine water conditions
• Quarantine new tank mates for 2-3 weeks
• Provide varied, nutritious diet
• Minimize handling and sudden environmental changes
• Use quality filtration systems
• Perform regular water testing

White Spot Disease (Ich)

Perhaps the most common parasitic infection, ich manifests as small white spots across the body and fins. Fish infected with ich typically scratch against tank surfaces and show reduced appetite.

Treatment Protocol:

• Gradually raise temperature to 28-30°C (if species tolerates)
• Add ich medication (malachite green or copper-based treatments)
• Increase aeration
• Perform 25% water changes every 2-3 days
• Continue treatment for full cycle (10-14 days)

Bacterial Infections

Bacterial infections appear as fin rot, body lesions, discolouration, or lethargy. According to fishkeeping research, poor water quality directly triggers these conditions.

Treatment Approach:

• Improve water quality immediately
• Add aquarium salt (1%)
• Administer broad-spectrum antibiotics if necessary
• Increase oxygen levels
• Remove sharp decorations that might cause injury

Dropsy and Swim Bladder Issues

Overfeeding represents the primary cause of swim bladder problems. Fish affected by these conditions struggle with buoyancy, floating abnormally or sinking.

Management Steps:

• Fast the fish for 48-72 hours
• Feed cooked, peeled peas to aid digestion
• Add small amount of aquarium salt
• Maintain stable water parameters
• Resume feeding with smaller portions

Droopy Eye (Drop Eye)

Controversial and frustrating, droopy eye causes aesthetic concerns but rarely affects health directly. Research suggests that fat accumulation behind the eye, combined with environmental factors, contributes to this condition.

Prevention Methods:

• Avoid overfeeding fatty foods
• Use centralized top lighting
• Cover tank sides to prevent downward gazing
• Feed floating foods to encourage upward orientation
• Maintain optimal water quality

Gill Curl

Small tank size, poor oxygen levels, and suboptimal water conditions cause gill covers to curl outward. This condition affects breathing and appearance.

Correction Approach:

• Transfer to appropriately sized tank
• Increase oxygen levels substantially
• Maintain stable water parameters
• Consider surgery only as last resort (rarely successful)

Compatible Tank Mates and Social Dynamics

Adult Arowana Behaviour

Wikipedia’s documentation confirms that adult arowanas exhibit solitary and territorial behaviour. Keeping multiple adults together typically results in aggression, stress, and potential injury.

Selecting Compatible Species

If you choose to house tank mates with your arowana, follow these guidelines:

Suitable Companions:

• Large Plecos: Stay near bottom, help with algae
• Large Catfish: Bottom dwellers that avoid arowana territory
• Datnoides: Similar size, different water column
• Oscars: If properly sized, can coexist
• Freshwater Stingrays: Remain on bottom substrate

Species to Avoid:

• Any fish small enough to eat
• Surface-dwelling species (compete for territory)
• Aggressive species of similar shape
• Slow-moving fancy goldfish
• Neon or small tetras

Carefully observe interactions when introducing new fish. Remove any species showing signs of stress or aggression within 24-48 hours. At Arowanaz, we stock various compatible species that work well in arowana setups.

Water Maintenance and Tank Upkeep

Weekly Maintenance Schedule

• Monday: Test water parameters (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH)
• Wednesday: Perform 25% water change, vacuum substrate
•  Friday: Check filter flow rate, clean pre-filters if needed
•  Sunday: Inspect fish for health issues, test temperature

Monthly Deep Maintenance

Once monthly, conduct more thorough maintenance:

• Clean filter media (never all at once)
• Test and calibrate equipment
• Inspect heaters and thermometers
• Check for equipment wear or malfunction
• Examine tank seals and structure

Water Change Technique

Match temperature and pH of replacement water to tank water. Treat with dechlorinator before adding. Pour slowly to avoid startling your fish. Some keepers use Python water changers or similar systems that simplify large water changes.

Arowana Varieties and Species-Specific Care

Silver Arowana

The silver arowana represents the most accessible species for keeping. Native to South American river systems, they grow quickly and reach lengths exceeding three feet. Their metallic silver scales and large scales create stunning visual appeal.

Care Specifics:

• Temperature: 75-82°F
• pH: 6.0-7.0
• Tank size: 250+ gallons for adults
• Growth rate: Extremely fast (2 inches monthly when young)

Asian Arowana

Asian arowana command premium prices due to their stunning coloration and cultural significance. Red, golden, and green varieties exist, each with distinct care requirements.

Notable Varieties:

• Super Red Arowana
• Malaysian Red Arowana
• Chili Red Arowana
• Platinum Arowana
• 24K Golden Arowana

Australian Varieties

Jardini arowana and Leichardti arowana from Australia show more aggressive tendencies. They’re hardy fish but require solitary housing once mature. Learn more about jardini arowana care and growth expectations.

Equipment Recommendations

Heaters

Use reliable, adjustable heaters rated for your tank volume. We recommend:

• Titanium heaters for large tanks (nearly indestructible)
• Two smaller heaters rather than one large unit (redundancy)
• External temperature controllers for precision

Water Testing Equipment

• API Master Test Kit (comprehensive)
• Digital pH meter (accuracy)
• TDS meter (dissolved solids monitoring)
• Thermometers (multiple locations)

Filtration Components

Quality matters enormously. Proper tank setup requires investment in reliable equipment. Consider FX6 canister filters, Eheim professional series, or custom sump systems.

Acclimation and Introduction

Bringing Your Arowana Home

When you purchase an arowana, proper acclimation prevents shock and disease. Our shipping process ensures fish arrive healthy, but acclimation remains crucial.

Acclimation Steps:

1. Float sealed bag in tank for 15-20 minutes (temperature equalization)
2. Open bag, add 1/4 cup tank water
3. Wait 10 minutes, add another 1/4 cup
4. Repeat process for 45-60 minutes total
5. Gently net fish into tank (don’t add bag water)
6. Dim lights for first 24 hours
7. Monitor closely for stress indicators

First Week Care

Stress levels peak during initial days. Minimize activity around the tank, maintain stable conditions, and offer small amounts of their familiar foods. Some arowanas refuse food for 2-3 days after moving. This behaviour falls within normal range unless accompanied by other symptoms.

Advanced Considerations

Breeding Arowana

Arowana breeding in home aquariums presents significant challenges. These fish require massive spaces, specific conditions, and years to reach sexual maturity (3-4 years minimum).

Males practice mouthbrooding, carrying fertilized eggs and fry in their mouths for up to two months. Commercial breeding operations use huge ponds rather than tanks. For most keepers, breeding remains impractical.

Colour Enhancement

Colour genetics play the primary role, but diet and environment influence pigmentation. What affects their vibrant hues includes:

• Diet: Prawns, krill, and colour-enhancing pellets
• Lighting: Specialized tanning lights for reds and golds
• Water chemistry: Soft, acidic water enhances colours
• Stress levels: Chronic stress dulls coloration

Arowana Legalities and Regulations

Asian arowanas face legal restrictions in many countries due to endangered status. However, other varieties remain legal. Research local regulations before purchasing. Understand what arowana fish are and their conservation status.

Key Takeaways

• Tank size cannot be compromised: Adults need minimum 250-gallon tanks with 6-foot length
• Water quality determines success: Zero tolerance for ammonia and nitrite, regular testing essential
• Varied diet prevents deficiencies: Rotate between pellets, prawns, insects, and frozen foods
• Prevention beats treatment: Quarantine new additions, maintain stability, avoid stress
• Species-specific needs matter: Research your particular variety’s requirements
• Patience and commitment required: These fish live 10-20+ years with proper care
• Solo housing often best: Adult arowanas show territorial aggression toward tank mates
• Secure lids mandatory: Powerful jumpers escape through smallest gaps

How Big Do Arowana Fish Grow?

Size depends on species. Silver arowanas commonly reach 30-36 inches in captivity, occasionally exceeding 40 inches. Asian varieties typically max out around 24-30 inches, while Australian jardini grow to similar sizes. Growth rates vary dramatically. Juveniles can gain two inches monthly during the first year when conditions optimize development. After 18-24 months, growth slows considerably. Tank size directly impacts final size, with cramped conditions stunting growth and causing health problems.

Can Beginners Keep Arowana Fish?

Honestly, arowanas challenge beginners. Their size, sensitivity to water parameters, specific dietary needs, and long-term commitment make them unsuitable for novice keepers. We recommend gaining experience with hardy fish first. Master water chemistry, filtration, and large fish behaviour before attempting arowana keeping. However, if you’re committed to learning, starting with a silver arowana under expert guidance can succeed. Research thoroughly, prepare properly, and be ready for the time and financial investment required.

How Long Do Arowana Fish Live?

Lifespan varies significantly between wild and captive populations. Wild arowanas documented living 40-60 years demonstrate their longevity potential. Captive specimens typically live 10-20 years, though many unfortunately die sooner due to improper care. Understanding their lifespan helps you appreciate the commitment involved. Factors affecting longevity include water quality, tank size, diet quality, stress levels, and genetic factors. Proper care maximizes lifespan, making these truly long-term companions.

How to Care for Arowana Fish

What’s the Best Food for Arowana Growth?

No single food provides complete nutrition. Rotation between high-quality protein sources produces best results. Young arowanas benefit from small prawns, crickets, mealworms, and specially formulated growth pellets. Adults thrive on market prawns (with shells), larger insects, krill, and quality carnivore pellets. Colour enhancement requires specific foods. Prawns, krill, and carotenoid-rich options intensify red and gold pigmentation. Avoid excessive goldfish feeding due to high fat content. Balance protein intake with vitamins and minerals. Quality commercial foods (Hikari Massivore, Omega One) provide foundational nutrition, while live and frozen foods add variety.

How Often Should I Change Water in an Arowana Tank?

Weekly partial water changes of 25-30% represent the minimum standard for arowana keeping. Some advanced keepers perform smaller daily or every-other-day changes, creating even more stable conditions. Water change frequency depends on several factors: tank size, filtration capacity, feeding amount, and water parameter readings. Heavily fed fish in smaller tanks need more frequent changes. Well-filtered large tanks might manage with slightly reduced frequency. However, never skip weekly changes completely. Arowanas show particular sensitivity to nitrate accumulation, making consistent water changes non-negotiable for long-term health.

As one of the most sought-after varieties among aquarium enthusiasts, this “living fossil” combines beauty, symbolism, and exclusivity. Shop premium 24k Golden Arowana fish for sale at Arowanaz.org—your trusted source for ethically bred, CITES-certified specimens.

The Arowana: A Living Fossil with Timeless Appeal

Arowanas (Osteoglossiformes) are often called “living fossils” due to their prehistoric lineage dating back over 140 million years. These iconic fish resemble miniature dragons, with elongated bodies, barbels, and iridescent scales that glint like precious metals. Among the rarest and most coveted varieties is the 24k Golden Arowana—a subspecies of the Asian Arowana (Scleropages formosus) prized for its unparalleled gold hue.

Taxonomy & Evolutionary History

The 24k Golden Arowana belongs to the Asian Arowana (Scleropages formosus), a species classified under:

• Kingdom: Animalia
• Phylum: Chordata
• Class: Actinopterygii (Ray-finned Fish)
• Order: Osteoglossiformes (Bony-Tongued Fish)
• Family: Osteoglossidae
• Genus: Scleropages
• Species: formosus

Asian Arowanas diverged from other osteoglossids during the Cretaceous period, retaining primitive traits like a bony tongue and air-breathing ability. Their close relatives include the Silver Arowana (Osteoglossum bicirrhosum) and Jardini Arowana (Scleropages jardinii), but the 24k Golden stands out for its genetic predisposition to intense gold pigmentation.

Physical Characteristics: Why the 24k Golden Stands Out

The 24k Golden Arowana earns its name from its metallic gold scales that reflect light like 24-karat gold. Key traits include:

• Size: Reaches 24–36 inches in captivity (wild specimens grow larger).
• Color: Uniform gold with subtle iridescence; rare “super grade” variants exhibit deeper, more vibrant tones.
• Barbels: Two whisker-like appendages near the mouth used for sensing prey.
• Sexual Dimorphism: Males develop longer dorsal fins and broader heads during breeding season.

Unlike albino or platinum morphs, the 24k Golden’s gold pigment is genetically stable, making it a prized collector’s item.

️ Habitat & Natural Distribution

Wild 24k Golden Arowanas inhabit tropical river systems in Southeast Asia, including the Mekong, Sumatra, and Borneo. They thrive in:

• Water Temperature: 28–30°C (82–86°F)
• pH: 6.5–7.5 (slightly acidic to neutral)
• Dissolved Oxygen: High levels (due to flowing waters)
• Substrate: Soft sand or mud with submerged vegetation.

In captivity, replicating these conditions is critical , see our Arowana Tank Setup Guide for details.

Aquarium Care: Keeping Your 24k Golden Thriving

Tank Requirements

• Minimum Size: 500+ gallons (for adults); juveniles need 200+ gallons.
• Filtration: Canister filters + sump systems to maintain pristine water.
• Water Flow: Strong currents mimicking river rapids.
• Decor: Driftwood, rocks, and floating plants (avoid sharp edges).

Water Chemistry

Parameter	Ideal Range
Temperature	28–30°C (82–86°F)
pH	6.5–7.5
Ammonia/Nitrites	0 ppm
Nitrates	<20 ppm

Feeding

Feed a mix of live/frozen foods (shrimp, crickets, silverfish) and high-quality pellets. Juveniles require daily feedings; adults eat 2–3 times weekly. Avoid overfeeding to prevent obesity.

Tankmates

Compatible with large, peaceful fish like:

• Other Arowanas (same size)
• Catfish (e.g., Plecostomus)
• Large Barbs (e.g., Tinfoil Barb)

Avoid small fish—they’ll be eaten!

Breeding & Reproductive Challenges

24k Golden Arowanas are mouthbrooders: Females lay eggs in nests, then carry them in their mouths for 50–60 days until hatching. Captive breeding is difficult due to:

• Gender Identification: Hard to distinguish males/females until maturity.
• Space Needs: Pairs require 1,000+ gallon tanks.
• Low Success Rates: Only 10–15% of spawns result in viable fry.

For advanced breeders, Arowanaz.org’s Master Breeding Guide offers expert tips.

⚖️ Legal & Conservation: Protecting a Precious Resource

The Asian Arowana (including 24k Goldens) is listed under CITES Appendix I, meaning international trade is heavily restricted. To legally own one:

1. Obtain a CITES permit from your local wildlife agency.
2. Purchase from certified breeders (like Arowanaz.org) with microchip verification.

Wild populations face threats from habitat loss (deforestation) and illegal poaching. Supporting sustainable breeding programs helps conserve this species.

Economic Value: Why 24k Goldens Are Investments

Prices for 24k Golden Arowanas range from $5,000–$50,000+, depending on:

• Grade: “Super Grade” specimens fetch premiums.
• Age/Size: Larger fish command higher prices.
• Pedigree: Proven breeding lines increase value.

Many collectors view them as investment assets due to their rarity and cultural significance.

How Big Do Jardini Arowana Get? Size Expectations, Care Tips, and Everything You Need to Know

The Jardini Arowana, often called the Australian Arowana or Pearl Arowana, is a fish that does not understand the concept of personal space. If you are looking for a shy, tiny community fish, you are barking up the wrong tree. This species is a predator, a jumper, and a true showpiece that requires serious commitment. We often get asked by enthusiasts in the United States, Germany, and the UK, “How big do they actually get?” It is not a simple answer. It depends on genetics, diet, and the environment you provide.

At Arowanaz.org, we believe in telling it like it is. Keeping a Jardini Arowana is not just a hobby, it is a lifestyle choice that involves massive tanks, heavy filtration, and a deep appreciation for aquatic evolution .Let’s break down the realities of owning this Australian Arowana, what size to expect, and how to care for them properly.

The Myth of the Small Tank

First, let’s address the elephant in the room. Too often, we see beginners buying a baby Jardini and putting it in a 50 or 75 gallon tank. This is a recipe for disaster. While a juvenile might look small, usually measuring just a few inches, they grow explosively. In the wild, these fish roam the river basins of Northern Australia and New Guinea, swimming vast distances. In a home aquarium, they still feel that urge to roam.

If you cramp them, you will stunt their growth and deform their spine. Worse yet, a stressed Jardini will become aggressive. We cannot stress this enough. Tank size is the single most critical factor in their development.

How Big Do Jardini Arowana Get?

In captivity, a healthy and well-cared for Jardini Arowana typically reaches a length of 24 to 30 inches (60 to 76 centimeters). However, do not be surprised if your specimen pushes towards 36 inches in a massive, properly maintained environment. Unlike their cousins, the Silver Arowana, which can grow slightly longer and slimmer, the Jardini tends to be bulkier and more muscular. They are built for power, not just length.

Their growth rate is aggressive. In their first year, with a high protein diet, they can grow several inches a month. This rapid growth phase means you must plan ahead. You are not buying a fish for your current setup, you are buying a fish for the tank you will need to build next year.

Factors Influencing Size

Several variables dictate just how large your Arowana will get.

1. Genetics: Just like humans, some fish are simply bred to be larger. High quality lineage matters.
2. Diet: These are carnivores. They need protein to fuel their growth. High quality pellets, crickets, mealworms, and feeder fish are essential.
3. Water Quality: Ammonia and nitrites stunt growth. pristine water conditions allow for maximum metabolic efficiency.

To understand their biology better, it helps to look at the family they belong to. According to the Smithsonian’s National Zoo, osteoglossids are ancient fish with a distinct bony tongue, a trait that contributes to their unique feeding mechanisms and robust structure.

Aquarium Setup and Requirements

We have established that they get big. So, what do you need? We recommend starting with nothing smaller than a 180 gallon tank for a juvenile, knowing you will eventually need to upgrade to a 300 gallon or larger aquarium as they mature. If you are serious about this hobby, you might want to look at our premium tanks, like the 175 gallon black aquarium or the 170 gallon white fish aquarium. These provide the necessary footprint.

Filtration and Water Parameters

Because they are heavy eaters, they are heavy waste producers. You need a filtration system that can turn over the tank volume at least 4 to 6 times per hour. Canister filters or a sump system are non-negotiable.

• Temperature: 75°F to 86°F (24°C to 30°C). They are tropical and love warmth.
• pH: 6.5 to 7.5. Slightly acidic to neutral is best.
• Hardness: 5 to 15 dGH.

Arowana care sheets often emphasize the need for stability. Fluctuations in temperature or pH can weaken their immune system, making them susceptible to parasites.

The Jumping Habit

One thing you must know, the Jardini is an escape artist. In the wild, they leap out of the water to snatch insects from overhanging branches. In your living room, they will try to jump out of the tank if stressed or startled. A tight-fitting, heavy canopy is mandatory. Do not rely on a loose glass lid. They will dislodge it.

Diet and Nutrition Strategies

To maximize their size and color potential, you must provide a varied diet. In the wild, they are opportunistic feeders, eating anything that fits in their mouth.

Staple Foods:

• High quality carnivorous pellets (we recommend Hikari or similar premium brands).
• Shrimp and prawns.
• Crickets and grasshoppers (gut-loaded).

Treats:

• Earthworms.
• Small pieces of fish fillet.
• Krill.

Warning on Feeders: Be extremely careful with feeder fish from pet stores, as they often carry diseases. If you must use feeders, quarantine them first or breed your own. According to experts at Biology Dictionary, the Arowana’s hunting style involves surface feeding, so they prefer food that floats or swims near the top.

Feeding should be done once or twice a day for juveniles to support growth, and once a day for adults to prevent obesity.

Temperament and Tank Mates

This is where the “unfiltered” truth comes in. Jardini Arowanas are aggressive. They are cichlid-like in their attitude. They do not like sharing the top of the water column.

If you want tank mates, you need fish that occupy different levels or are too big to be eaten.

• Good Tank Mates: Large plecos, Oscars (if introduced young), large catfish, and potentially rays if the tank is massive enough.
• Bad Tank Mates: Guppies, tetras, smaller cichlids, and anything that looks like a snack.

We have seen many customers try to keep them with Silver Arowana. Sometimes it works, but often they fight until one dominates the tank. If you are interested in other species, we have a variety of Arowana fish for sale, but we advise keeping Jardini in a species only tank for the best results.

You can learn more about the different types and their specific behaviors in our guide on Types of Arowana Fish.

Comparing the Jardini to Other Varieties

To give you a clearer picture of where the Jardini stands, let’s look at a comparison with other popular Arowana types.

• Silver Arowana: Gets longer (up to 3-4 feet), slimmer, less aggressive generally, but requires more horizontal swimming space.
• Asian Arowana: Highly expensive, restricted in many countries, generally more peaceful but fragile.
• Black Arowana: Very similar to Silver Arowana but stays slightly smaller and has darker coloration as a juvenile.
• Jardini Arowana: The “bulldog” of the group. Stocky, aggressive, beautiful speckled patterns (pearls), and manages well in slightly wider pH ranges.

If you are looking for something with a bit more color, you might view our Platinum Arowana for sale. However, the Jardini offers a unique, rugged aesthetic that is hard to beat.

Size Expectations Table

Below is a quick reference guide to help you visualize the growth timeline of a Jardini Arowana.

Age	Approximate Size	Recommended Tank Size	Key Care Focus
Juvenile (0-6 months)	4 – 8 inches	55 – 75 Gallons (Temporary)	High protein diet, frequent water changes.
Sub-Adult (6-12 months)	8 – 16 inches	125 – 180 Gallons	Tank upgrade, introduce varied diet, monitor aggression.
Adult (1+ years)	18 – 24+ inches	240 – 300+ Gallons	Stable parameters, large tank maintenance, jumping prevention.

Key Takeaway: Always buy the biggest tank you can afford. You will eventually need it.

Legal and Ethical Considerations

Before you buy, you must check your local laws. While the Jardini Arowana is generally not restricted like the Asian Arowana, which is protected under CITES, some states or regions have specific regulations on large predatory fish. We ensure all our fish are sourced ethically and legally. You can read more about the specific legalities regarding these fascinating creatures in our detailed post on Arowana legalities and regulations.

Furthermore, owning a fish that can live for 15 to 20 years is a long-term commitment. Do not buy on impulse. This is a living creature that relies on you for its survival and quality of life.

Shipping and Delivery

At Arowanaz.org, we specialize in shipping live fish safely. We know the anxiety of waiting for a new aquatic arrival. We use insulated boxes, heat packs when needed, and oxygenated bags to ensure your Jardini Arowana arrives healthy and active. We have shipped successfully to the USA, UK, Germany, and beyond. You can read our Arowana fish shipping policy to understand how we guarantee live delivery.

Final Thoughts

The Jardini Arowana is not a fish for everyone. It demands space, resources, and respect. But for those who can meet its needs, it offers one of the most rewarding experiences in the freshwater hobby. Their prehistoric look, combined with their interactive personality, makes them a true companion.

If you are ready to take the plunge, check out our current stock of Jardini Arowana for sale. We also have rare finds if you are looking for something unique. For our German customers, we have a dedicated site where you can Arowana kaufen Deutschland.

Do not settle for average. Give your fish the life it deserves.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast does a Jardini Arowana grow?

They are rapid growers. In optimal conditions with a high protein diet, they can grow 1 to 2 inches per month during their first year.

Can I keep a Jardini Arowana in a 100 gallon tank?

Only for a very short period as a juvenile. An adult requires a minimum of 240 to 300 gallons to thrive and avoid health issues.

 Are Jardini Arowanas aggressive?

Yes, they are known to be highly aggressive and territorial, especially towards other surface dwelling fish. They are best kept alone or with large, robust tank mates.

 What is the lifespan of a Jardini Arowana?

With proper care, they can live for 15 to 20 years in captivity. This is a long-term commitment.

What is the difference between a Jardini and a Leichardti Arowana?

They are both Australian species. The Jardini (Scleropages jardinii) has a more spotted pattern on its fins and scales, while the Leichardti (Scleropages leichardti) often has fewer spots and a more linear pattern on the scales.

Do I need a lid for the tank?

Absolutely. They are notorious jumpers. A secure, heavy lid is necessary to prevent them from escaping the tank.

What do Jardini Arowanas eat?

They are carnivores. They eat a diet of pellets, shrimp, crickets, mealworms, and feeder fish. Variety is key to their health.

 Are Jardini Arowanas legal to own?

Generally, yes. Unlike the Asian Arowana, they are not listed on CITES Appendix I. However, always check your local and state regulations regarding large predatory fish.

How can I tell if my Jardini is male or female?

It is extremely difficult to sex them visually. Males may have a slightly more elongated mouth and deeper chest, especially when breeding, but venting is usually required for accuracy.

Can I keep my Jardini with an Oscar?

It is possible, but risky. Both are aggressive cichlids (though Arowanas are not cichlids, they have similar attitudes). It requires a very large tank and careful monitoring to ensure one doesn’t bully the other.

• Black Arowana: Slightly more elusive, the Black Arowana is known for its dark, mysterious appearance. They are less common in local aquarium shops but can sometimes be found through specialized online fish retailers catering to Florida residents.
• Jardini Arowana: For those looking for something truly unique, the Jardini Arowana offers a mix of bronze and gold tones. They are typically available through specialized breeders in Florida who focus on rare and exotic fish species.

Each of these varieties has its requirements, so it’s crucial to consider your tank setup before purchasing. A quick chat with your local tropical fish experts can help you decide which Arowana is right for you.

How to Choose the Right Arowana Fish

Selecting the right Arowana isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about understanding the unique characteristics of each species and how they’ll fit into your aquarium setup. Whether you’re sourcing your fish from Florida fish breeders or browsing through online fish retailers, here are some key factors to consider:

• Size and Growth Potential: Arowana fish can grow quite large, often reaching up to 3 feet in length. Silver Arowana and Asian Arowana are particularly known for their size. Before purchasing, ensure your tank is spacious enough to accommodate their growth. A 250-gallon tank is recommended for a full-grown Arowana.
• Tank Compatibility: Not all Arowana species get along well with other fish. For example, Jardini Arowana tends to be more aggressive, so they might not be the best choice if you have a community tank. On the other hand, Silver Arowana are generally more peaceful but can still pose a threat to smaller tank mates. If you’re unsure, consult with local aquarium shops or tropical fish experts who can guide you based on your existing setup.
• Water Conditions: Arowana care and maintenance require specific water conditions, including pH levels and temperature. Arowana tank setup in Florida often involves maintaining a temperature between 75-82°F, with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0). Invest in a good water filtration system to keep the tank clean and stable.
• Dietary Needs: Arowana fish are carnivorous, requiring a diet rich in protein. They thrive on live food such as feeder fish, insects, and crustaceans. However, you can also supplement their diet with high-quality tropical fish food available at Florida aquarium supply stores. Make sure to discuss feeding options with Florida fish breeders or shop owners to keep your Arowana healthy.
• Cost Considerations: The price of Arowana fish can vary significantly based on species, size, and origin. Silver Arowana tends to be more affordable, while Asian Arowana can be quite expensive due to its rarity and legal restrictions. If you’re looking for a high-quality Arowana for sale in Florida, be prepared to invest accordingly. It’s also worth considering ongoing costs like food, tank maintenance, and potential upgrades as your Arowana grows.

 

Arowana Care and Maintenance Tips for Florida

Once you’ve chosen your Arowana, the next step is ensuring they thrive in their new environment. Proper care and maintenance are crucial, especially given Florida’s tropical climate. Here’s what you need to know:

• Water Quality: As mentioned earlier, Arowana requires clean, stable water conditions. Regularly monitor water parameters and perform partial water changes weekly. Investing in a reliable water filtration system is essential, especially given Florida’s fluctuating temperatures and humidity levels.
• Tank Setup: The right tank setup can make all the difference in your Arowana’s health. Consider adding sturdy plants, driftwood, and hiding spots, as Arowana are known to be jumpers. A tight-fitting lid is also a must to prevent accidents.
• Feeding Schedule: Arowana is best fed in small amounts multiple times a day. This mimics their natural hunting behavior and helps prevent overfeeding. Live food should be their primary diet, but you can also introduce pellets or freeze-dried options available from Florida aquarium shops.
• Temperature Control: While Florida’s climate is generally suitable for Arowana, it’s still important to regulate your tank’s temperature. Sudden changes can stress your fish, leading to health issues. A reliable heater and thermometer will help maintain consistency.
• Regular Health Checks: Keep an eye on your Arowana’s behavior and appearance. Any changes in color, appetite, or activity could indicate a problem. If you notice anything unusual, consult with a tropical fish expert or veterinarian who specializes in exotic fish for aquariums.
