So what is the Arowana fish? The Arowana fish back dates to the Jurassic age which makes the species one of the oldest still living. While the fish is endangered careful breeders are helping the fish make a comeback that many admirers are excited about.
In most cases the Arowana grows from 24 to 36 inches and in some cases some species can even get as long as four feet.
Owners and breeders report that as the fish grow they can become very feisty. They also tell us about how you can teach the fish to eat right out of your hand. However until you are sure of yourself you shouldn't let them eat out of your hands because you don't want to make your fingers part of their diet.
The Arowana fish are meat eaters which can eat a lot given the opportunity. Even though they are classed as carnivores the fish have been known to eat almost anything they are fed.
The young Arowana fish seem to have an appetite for small shrimp, worms and even some smaller fish. When they get older their favorite food seems to be other fish.
When raising the Arowana fish there is a routine that should be followed. Its not very difficult. The small fish should be fed 3 times a day, the medium fish should be fed twice a day and the larger fish should be fed once a day and in some cases even one every couple of days.
It is recommended that you do feed your Arowana fish prime food to give it the best diet possible and to do everything in your power to ensure a long healthy life.
Because the Arowana fish likes to eat so much it does result in a lot of waste building up in the aquarium. Lots of waste could be very dangerous to the fish so it is very important you keep the water clean.
The best way to keep the water clean is to change a third of the water at least once a week and something that is even better is changing 20% of the water twice a week.
Bad water conditions could quite easily put a damper on the life of your Arowana fish. It is important to stay educated to make sure your experience with the fish ends up being a great experience.
Many people report that the Arowana aren't the friendliest fish around. Actually its just that they are very feisty. Arowana fish love to jump so if you do not want to find your pet on the floor at the end of the day you will need to maintain a good heavy lid on your aquarium.
In many cases the Arowana has been known to live up to 20 years and older. So if you do all the things right you could have a pet you enjoy for a very long time.
