Arowana Purchasing Advice
Everything you need to know before purchasing your arowana.
Tank Requirements
Arowana require large tanks — a minimum of 250 gallons for a single adult. The tank should be long rather than tall, as arowana are surface-dwelling fish. A tight-fitting lid is essential as arowana are known jumpers.
Water Parameters
Asian arowana prefer soft, slightly acidic water with a pH of 6.5–7.5 and a temperature of 24–30°C. Regular water changes and high-quality filtration are essential for the health of your fish.
CITES Regulations
Asian arowana (Scleropages formosus) are listed on CITES Appendix I, meaning their trade is strictly regulated. All our Asian arowana are legally sourced with the appropriate documentation. Please ensure you understand the legal requirements in your country before purchasing.
