Overview: The Super Blood Red Arowana is a highly prized freshwater fish known for its strikingly vibrant red scales and majestic swimming behavior. It is a symbol of wealth and prosperity in many cultures, making it a sought-after addition to aquariums worldwide. This species is not only admired for its beauty but also for its size, capable of reaching up to 90 cm (35 inches) in length.

Origin: Native to the fresh waters of Southeast Asia, Super Blood Red Arowanas are found in rivers and lakes across regions including Indonesia and Malaysia. Their natural habitat consists of slow-moving waters, which is replicated in captivity for their well-being.

Feeding: A carnivorous species, the Super Blood Red Arowana requires a diet rich in protein. Feed them a variety of foods such as live or frozen fish, shrimp, and occasionally, insects. It’s crucial to provide a balanced diet to maintain their vibrant coloration and overall health.

Tank Mates: Due to their size and territorial nature, choosing the right tank mates is essential. Compatible species include large, peaceful fish that can hold their own without provoking the Arowana. Avoid small fish that could be seen as prey.

Aggression: Super Blood Red Arowanas are known for their territorial behavior, especially towards their kind or smaller fish. It’s recommended to keep them in spacious tanks with ample room to swim and establish territories.

Experience Level: Due to their specific care requirements and large size, Super Blood Red Arowanas are best suited for experienced aquarists. Proper tank management and diet are crucial for their health and longevity.

Water Parameters:

  • Temperature: 26°C to 30°C (78°F to 86°F)
