About
Arowanas are large, ancient predatory fish known for their elongated bodies, large scales, and distinct 'dragon-like' appearance. They are top-dwelling fish and skilled hunters, often seen patrolling the surface of their natural habitats. Due to their significant size and predatory nature, they require very large tanks and careful consideration of tank mates.
