Introduction to Silver Arowana
The Silver Arowana (Osteoglossum bicirrhosum) is one of the most sought-after freshwater fish in the aquarium trade due to its stunning, elongated body, metallic sheen, and graceful swimming style. Native to the vast river systems of South America, this majestic fish is a top-tier predator known for its exceptional agility and ability to leap out of water to catch prey in the wild.
Silver Arowanas are highly intelligent fish, often forming a bond with their owners and recognizing them over time. However, due to their large size and active nature, they require an exceptionally spacious tank and a well-maintained environment to thrive.
