Jardini Arowana Care
Jardini Arowanas are best suited for experienced aquarists who can provide a very large aquarium and powerful filtration. They are active swimmers and require substantial open space as they grow.
A secure, tight-fitting lid is essential because Arowanas are powerful jumpers. Avoid sharp decorations that could cause injury while the fish is swimming or jumping.
Maintain excellent water quality with efficient mechanical and biological filtration and regular water changes.

- pH: 6.5–7.5
- Ammonia: 0 ppm
- Nitrite: 0 ppm
- Nitrate: Keep low with regular water changes
- Water Flow: Moderate
- Filtration: Heavy-duty filtration recommended
Feeding
Jardini Arowanas are carnivorous predators and should receive a varied diet appropriate for their size.
Recommended foods include:
- High-quality Arowana pellets
- Shrimp
- Krill
- Insects
- Earthworms
- Frozen fish-based foods
- Other appropriately sized carnivorous foods
Young Jardini Arowanas may require smaller, more frequent meals, while adults should be fed appropriately sized portions without overfeeding.
Whenever possible, avoid unquarantined feeder fish because they can introduce parasites or disease into the aquarium.
Jardini Arowana Tank Mates
Jardini Arowanas are territorial and can be aggressive toward other fish, particularly as they mature. Carefully consider compatibility before adding tank mates.
Potential tank mates in very large aquariums may include:
- Large Plecos
- Large catfish
- Large freshwater rays
- Robust large cichlids
- Other appropriately sized large freshwater species
There is no guarantee of compatibility between individual fish. Avoid small fish that can be swallowed and aggressive species that may injure the Arowana.
Aquarium Setup
A large aquarium with substantial open swimming space is essential for Jardini Arowanas.
Recommended setup features include:
- Very large aquarium
- Secure, tight-fitting lid
- Strong mechanical filtration
- Powerful biological filtration
- Excellent oxygenation
- Open swimming area
- Smooth rocks and driftwood
- Minimal sharp decorations
- Moderate water movement
- Regular water changes
As the fish grows, its aquarium requirements increase significantly. Plan for the adult size before purchasing.
Important: Plan for Adult Size
Jardini Arowanas can grow to approximately 2 feet or more, so they are not suitable for small or temporary aquariums as a long-term setup.
Their size, territorial behavior, feeding requirements, and jumping ability make them an advanced freshwater species best suited to experienced aquarists.

what people are saying...
“We just received our healthy, marbled Half Moon Betta from Coast Gem USA. Excellent communication from start to finish and the quality is amazing. They are consummate professionals who I highly recommend.”
“100% the best online store I’ve ever bought from. Excellent customer service, and reply really fast. My betta and panda corys arrived perfectly fine. They replied within about 20 minutes and refunded me.”
“I ordered a Betta back in March and he shipped out fast and arrived 2 days later healthy, gorgeous and definitely the fish I ordered. I made another order for a male Betta this week, same thing.”
“I ordered an Oranda from Coast Gem USA and the whole experience was honestly perfect. The fish showed up looking great—healthy, clean, and exactly what I was hoping for. You can tell they really took their time with the packing.”
“Great place for a vast assortment of freshwater fish. I’ve bought in-person and online, both have been great experiences with my purchases. Thank you Coast Gem, you guys are awesome!”
“This place is amazing! They have a bit of everything and they have knowledgeable staff to help you with fresh water fish expertise. Caesar was very kind and professional with getting our new cichlid peacock.”
“My giant betta showed up healthy with beautiful color. Took a few weeks. I knew from the start after reading reviews that it’s a slow process and this fish having to be imported would take a little longer but well worth the wait.”
“How this place only has 3 stars is beyond me. I did have to catch my own fish. However, the quality of fish that I got (African cichlids) was amazing!!! I paid much less than had I have purchased them somewhere else.”
“I originally had a pretty good experience ordering online from them. I ordered 5 betta and they took a little longer than expected to get to me but the quality was exceptional. I was so impressed that on a trip down to San Diego I checked them out.”
“I ordered 5 orandas. At first they were a little stressed, which is normal due to the trip since I live in Florida. After I quarantined them, they settled in beautifully and I was very happy with them.”
