Let me know details of Arowana Fish?

Answer 1

Here's one... Make sure you have a minimum six foot long tank. These fish will not live and should not be stuck in a regular 55 gallon. They need 300 gallons to fully mature to their 3 foot and larger adult size. They need VERY good water quality, over-filtering is a must, and anything less than that will stunt their growth. Please be considerate of their needs if you buy one.

Answer 2

Arrowana are one of the largest, most graceful, and impressive of the freshwater tropical fish that can be kept in an aquarium. Depending on species, they will grow to nine foot long in the wild. Though a large fish, they can double back on themselves when turning around almost like folding a rope back on itself. They are not colorful as some tropical fish, but their size, grace, and near constant motion put them in a class of their own.

You have the incredibly expensive Asian Arrowana which comes in the Gold Crossback, the Reds, Violets, Platinums, Red Tailed Goldens and the Green. (the cheapest of the lot).

You've got the South American Silver or Black Arrowanas and also the Australian Arrowanas. These are all less colourful and a lot cheaper than the Asian ones.

The Asian Arrowana are endangered and a CITES certificate is compulsory as proof that it has been bred in captivity. They should also be microchipped with the number recorded on your certificate as well.

They are highly sought after in Asia as they are supposed to bring good luck to the owner. With their barbels, majestic grace and large scales, they also remind us of the mythical dragons so revered in Asian.

There are many useful sites available on the internet from the different colour varieties and species, to how best to house and feed them. U'll have no problems finding what you need. Good luck!
