Points to keep in mind when keeping silver arowanas
The silver arowana is one of the most popular of the ancient fish breeds because of its long, slender body shape and leisurely swimming appearance. The Silver Arowana has been popular since the early tropical fish boom of the 1980s and 1990s, and many people have heard of it. One thing to keep in mind when breeding the Silver Arowana is its speed of growth. The Silver Arowana grows very fast, so it is advisable to keep an aquarium at least 120 cm in length.This is because even if you purchase a small Silver Arowana, once you start keeping it, it will quickly grow and a small aquarium may become too small for it. If you keep feeding them the same food, they will get tired of it after about a month. The most common cause of death of Silver Arowanas is that they jump out and die. Silver Arowanas are a hardy breed, so when they die, it is often from a sudden and unexpected accident. The Silver Arowana is relatively inexpensive among arowanas.
