Welcome to our store, where the majestic African Arowana, Heterotis Niloticus, awaits enthusiasts seeking the allure of an iconic aquatic beauty. Originating from the freshwater rivers and basins of West Africa, this striking species captivates with its elongated body, iridescent scales, and distinctive long fins.
Feeding these magnificent creatures is a delight, as they readily accept a diverse diet of live foods like insects, small crustaceans, and even pellets or flakes.
Their peaceful nature makes them ideal for community tanks with similarly sized, non-aggressive fish. However, it’s recommended to avoid housing them with overly aggressive or territorial species.
