    Silver Arowana (Osteoglossum bicirrhosum)

    Price range: $24.99 through $199.99

    One of the larger predatory fish found in the Amazon Basin, the Silver Arowana is part of an ancient family of fish known as the bonytongues. A highly adapted surface feeder, Arowana are usually found close to the water’s surface in heavily overgrown areas with lots of cover. They are incredible jumpers, with adults able to leap several feet out of the water, and need to be kept in securely covered aquariums. Due to their enormous adult size, the Silver Arowana is recommended only for dedicated aquarists who can accommodate these giants in either a large custom aquarium or even an indoor pond. Specimens offered for sale are acclimated to aquarium life and feeding well on frozen and prepared foods.

  • Black / Blue Arowana (Osteoglossum ferreirai)

    Black / Blue Arowana (Osteoglossum ferreirai)

    Price range: $84.99 through $399.99

    Found in blackwater stretches of the Rio Negro, upper Orinoco and Vaupes in South America, the Black Arowana (sometimes also known as Blue Arowana) is a sought after species due to its vibrant iridescent coloration and orange-trimmed black fins. Like their close cousin the Silver Arowana, they are large, powerful, surface-dwelling predators which require ample tankspace and a tight fitting cover as they are powerful jumpers. Black Arowana are generally peaceful towards any tankmates too large to be eaten, but territorial towards each other unless kept in larger groups. Although they reach a slightly smaller adult size than their close relative the Silver Arowana, they can still easily reach 20”+ as adults and require an appropriately large aquarium.
