Origin:

Native to the waters of Malaysia, this Arowana thrives in slow-moving rivers and lakes. It is a product of careful selection and breeding to enhance its exquisite coloration and unique features.

This Arowana is generally peaceful towards comparably sized fish but can be territorial. It is recommended to provide ample space and hiding spots to minimize potential aggression.
