Beautyful Arowana Fish Feeding
Like 1 Dislike 0 Published on 5 Mar 2018
Common name: Red-tailed Golden Asian Arowana, Asian Arowana, Dragon Fish, and Asian Bonytongue
Scientific name: Scleropages Formosus
Average Adult Fish Size: 36 inches / 90 cm
Place of Origin: Thailand, Malaysia, Myanmar, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Cambodia
Typical Tank setup: A lot of swimming space is necessary. Decorate with rock work, bogwood/driftwood and sturdy plants. An agitated Asian Arowana may uproot plants with poor root systems.
Recommended Minimum Aquarium Capacity: 55 gallon / 220 litre for juveniles, but a fully grown adult will need an aquarium that is 250 gallon / 1000 litre or larger.
Compatibility: 6 or more juveniles can be kept together, but 10 or more is better. The same with adults, but this is a gamble as some adults do not tolerate others of their own kind well. Beside keeping them in schools they should be kept with peaceful to moderately aggressive fish that cannot be eaten and that will not harass the Arowana.
Temperature: 75 – 86 Deg F / 24 – 30 Deg C
Water chemistry: pH 7.0 – 7.7
Feeding: Juveniles will readily eat small fish, tadpoles, live brine shrimp, live brown worms, small earthworms and other live foods, but should be trained to accept pellets, sticks, chunk of frozen foods, chopped and whole market shrimp, and other meaty foods. It is not only less expensive to feed an Asian Arowana prepared foods instead of feeder fish, but it is also healthier for it too.
Sexing: There are studies that correlate head size to gender that are 70% accurate
Breeding: Asian Arowanas are mouthbrooders and are readily bred in large ponds, but rarely in aquariums.
