Batik Arowana Scleropages Inscriptus 20cm

Overview:
The Batik Arowana, known for its mesmerizing scale patterns reminiscent of traditional batik art, is a rare gem in the aquarium world. This majestic fish showcases a stunning array of colors, with intricate, batik-like inscriptions adorning its scales. Growing up to 24 inches in captivity, it’s a centerpiece fish that demands attention.

Origin:
Native to the dense, freshwater systems of Indonesia, the Batik Arowana thrives in environments rich in vegetation and submerged wood. Its natural habitat is characterized by slow-moving waters, where it’s adept at navigating the complex ecosystems.

Feeding:
A carnivorous species, the Batik Arowana’s diet should mimic its natural prey. Offer a variety of high-quality, protein-rich foods such as live or frozen shrimp, fish, and insects. Consistent feeding of a balanced diet ensures vibrant health and coloration.

Tank Mates:
Due to its size and temperament, choosing the right tank mates is crucial. Suitable companions include large, peaceful fish that can hold their own without provoking aggression. Avoid small, nippy species that might tempt the Arowana’s predatory instincts.

Aggression:
While generally peaceful towards similarly sized fish, the Batik Arowana can exhibit territorial behavior. Adequate space and proper tank setup help minimize aggression, ensuring a harmonious aquatic environment.

Experience Level:
Suited for the advanced aquarist, this species requires meticulous care, a spacious aquarium (minimum 250 gallons), and a commitment to maintaining pristine water conditions. Its sensitivity to water quality and dietary needs makes it a challenging, yet rewarding, species to keep.

Water Parameters:

  • Temperature: 75°F – 82°F (24°C – 28°C)
  • pH: 6.0 – 7.5
  • Hardness: 5-15 dGH Regular water changes, filtration, and monitoring are essential to replicate the clean, acidic waters of its natural habitat.

Embrace the challenge and beauty of keeping a Batik Arowana, a true masterpiece of the aquatic world.
