Known for its impressive size and striking appearance, this majestic fish is native to the slow-moving rivers and floodplains of the Amazon Basin in South America. The Silver Arowana has a long, sleek body covered in silvery scales that shimmer in the light, combined with long, elegant pectoral fins that give it a graceful and prehistoric look. The fish’s distinctive, long barbels and upward-facing mouth make it an instant standout in any tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"572\" data-end=\"1176\" class=\"\"\u003eSilver Arowanas are famous for their remarkable ability to leap from the water, a trait they use to catch prey like insects and small fish. While this behavior is fascinating to observe in the wild, it can also be dangerous in captivity, as they may leap out of tanks if not properly secured. In the aquarium, they require a large tank with ample swimming space, as they can grow up to 3 feet in length. These fish are relatively peaceful but may become territorial as they mature, especially with smaller tankmates. Arowanas are also best kept with fish of similar size to avoid aggression or predation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1178\" data-end=\"1473\" class=\"\"\u003eAs a carnivore, the Silver Arowana requires a protein-rich diet, including live or frozen fish, insects, and shrimp. Providing a varied diet ensures they stay healthy and vibrant. These fish thrive in warm, slightly acidic to neutral water with strong filtration to keep their environment clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1475\" data-end=\"1750\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1475\" data-end=\"1489\"\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/strong\u003e – Advanced\u003cbr data-start=\"1500\" data-end=\"1503\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1503\" data-end=\"1518\"\u003eTemperament\u003c\/strong\u003e – Peaceful but can be territorial\u003cbr data-start=\"1552\" data-end=\"1555\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1555\" data-end=\"1563\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e – Up to 3 feet\u003cbr data-start=\"1578\" data-end=\"1581\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1581\" data-end=\"1594\"\u003eTank Size\u003c\/strong\u003e – 250 gallons minimum\u003cbr data-start=\"1616\" data-end=\"1619\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1619\" data-end=\"1634\"\u003eTemperature\u003c\/strong\u003e – 75°F to 82°F\u003cbr data-start=\"1649\" data-end=\"1652\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1652\" data-end=\"1660\"\u003eDiet\u003c\/strong\u003e – Carnivore (live or frozen foods like fish, shrimp, and insects)\u003cbr data-start=\"1726\" data-end=\"1729\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1729\" data-end=\"1735\"\u003epH\u003c\/strong\u003e – 6.5 to 7.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1752\" data-end=\"1983\" class=\"\"\u003e🌿 \u003cem data-start=\"1755\" data-end=\"1912\"\u003eThe Silver Arowana is a magnificent addition to any large aquarium, offering grace and power with its striking silver body and impressive swimming ability.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1912\" data-end=\"1915\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"1915\" data-end=\"1983\" data-is-last-node=\"\"\u003eThis listing is for 1 Silver Arowana (\u003cem data-start=\"1954\" data-end=\"1980\"\u003eOsteoglossum bicirrhosum\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Poseidon Aquatics And Plants","offers":[{"title":"Small","offer_id":46340991451358,"sku":"","price":89.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/4768\/4574\/files\/Photo_c76bf674-ca83-49a4-aa92-26174c534b16.png?v=1741201181","url":"https:\/\/poseidonaquaticsandplants.com\/products\/silver-arowana","provider":"Poseidon Aquatics And Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
