🐟 HIGHBACK GOLDEN AROWANA 🐉 🌎 Origin: Southeast Asia — mainly Malaysia, Indonesia & surrounding regions 📏 Adult Size: 24–30+ inches (60–75+ cm) 🏠 Tank Size: Minimum 4 × 2 × 2 ft for adult; larger is better 🌡️ Temperature: 26–30°C 💧 pH: 6.0–7.5 ⚡ Temperament: Semi-aggressive & territorial; surface-dwelling predator ⏳ Lifespan: 15–20+ years with excellent care 🍤 Feeding: High-quality Arowana pellets, prawns/shrimp, insects, mealworms & suitable frozen foods.

Examples: • 🐟 Clown Knifefish • 🐟 Datnoid (Tiger Datnoid) • 🐟 Bichir • 🐟 Large Pleco • 🐟 Peacock Bass • 🐟 Stingray & more ⚠️ Avoid small fish, slow-moving species and aggressive fin-nippers—they may be eaten or attacked. 🪨 Tank Setup & Care: • Large, fully covered aquarium — Arowanas are powerful jumpers • Strong biological filtration with good oxygenation • Moderate water flow; avoid excessive current at the surface • Bare bottom or smooth substrate is easiest to maintain • Driftwood and minimal décor can provide a natural look without restricting swimming space • Weekly 25–40% water change with stable parameters • Maintain excellent water quality and avoid sudden temperature/pH changes 💙 AAF Tips: ⭐ Keep the tank securely covered—even a small gap can be an escape route. ⭐ For the best body development and coloration, provide excellent water quality + balanced nutrition rather than overfeeding. ⭐ Highback Golden Arowana needs long-term swimming space, so plan the adult tank before the fish outgrows its juvenile setup.
