KEY POINTS, TIPS & TRICKS TO TAKE CARE YOUR AROWANA

1. They like to swim a lot, and you don't want them running into things. I recommend a slight sandy base.
2. When deciding on a tank for an arowana, make sure it's large enough for the type of fish you purchase. They frequently require tanks from 50-120 gallons.
3. Variety in food is a MUST to avoid nutritional deficiency.
4. Small arowana (below 2 inches should be fed three times a day, medium arowana < 2-5 inches) twice a day and large arowana (above 5 inches) once a day or alternate day.
5. High fat food like feeder fish should only be used sparingly to avoid drop eye problem.
6. Live food is generally more nutritious then its counterpart. However, the risk of introducing disease into the tank is increased when live food is used.
7. There are six known species of Arowanas, and all of them can grow to be more 36" long.
8. Arowana species live for many years.
9. The word Arowana is often spelled in alternate ways such as Arrowana, Arawana, and Aruana.
