Malaysian Golden Crossback Arowana Scleropages Formosus 20cm

Overview: The Malaysian Golden Crossback Arowana is a breathtaking freshwater fish known for its vibrant gold coloration and the distinctive “crossback” pattern that shines brilliantly under proper lighting. Esteemed for its majestic appearance, this species is often a centerpiece in aquariums, symbolizing wealth and prosperity in various cultures.

Origin: Native to the rivers and freshwater bodies of Malaysia, the Golden Crossback Arowana thrives in a habitat that mimics its natural tropical environment. This species is found in areas with clean, slow-moving water, surrounded by dense vegetation.

Feeding: A carnivorous species, the Golden Crossback Arowana requires a diet rich in protein. Offer a variety of foods, including live or frozen foods such as shrimp, small fish, and insects. Consistent feeding with high-quality food is essential for maintaining its vibrant coloration and overall health.

Tank Mates: Choosing the right tank mates for the Golden Crossback Arowana is crucial due to its size and territorial nature. Suitable companions include large, peaceful fish that can hold their own without provoking aggression. Avoid small fish that can be mistaken for prey.

Aggression: This species exhibits a moderate level of aggression, especially towards smaller fish or those of similar shape. It’s recommended to keep them with other large species that are not overly aggressive to ensure a harmonious tank environment.

Experience Level: Due to its specific care requirements and potential size, the Malaysian Golden Crossback Arowana is best suited for intermediate to advanced aquarists. Proper tank setup, regular maintenance, and attention to diet are essential for keeping this species healthy.
