Overview: The Super Red 24K Red Arowana is a prestigious and highly sought-after freshwater fish, known for its striking, vibrant red color and majestic swimming style. Revered in many cultures for its symbol of wealth, luck, and prosperity, this exotic species makes a captivating centerpiece in any aquarium.

Origin: Native to parts of Southeast Asia, Super Red Arowanas are found in rivers and lakes across regions like Indonesia and Malaysia. They thrive in blackwater conditions, with soft, acidic water mimicking their natural habitat.

Feeding: A carnivorous species, Super Red Arowanas require a diet rich in protein. Feed them a variety of foods such as live fish, shrimp, and occasionally, mealworms or crickets to ensure proper nutrition and color vibrancy. It’s crucial to maintain a balanced diet to support their health and growth.

Tank Mates: Choosing the right tank mates for Super Red Arowanas is essential, given their size and predatory nature. Suitable companions include large, peaceful fish that can hold their own without competing for food. Avoid small fish that could be seen as prey.

Aggression: Super Red Arowanas can exhibit territorial behavior, especially towards fish of similar shape or size. Providing ample space and hiding spots can help mitigate aggression.

Experience Level: Caring for Super Red Arowanas requires an experienced aquarist. Their need for large tanks, specific diets, and understanding of their behavior makes them more suited for those with knowledge in keeping large, exotic fish.

Water Parameters:

  • Temperature: 75-86°F (24-30°C)
  • pH: 5.0-7.0
  • Hardness: Soft to moderately hard

A well-filtered, spacious aquarium mimicking their natural environment is essential, with regular water changes to maintain quality. A minimum tank size of 250 gallons is recommended due to their potential size and activity level.

Conclusion: The Super Red 24K Red Arowana is not just a fish; it’s a statement of elegance and prestige for the dedicated aquarist. With proper care, it will provide an unparalleled beauty and charm to your aquatic collection.
