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.

Recommended Water Parameters

• Temperature: 75–82°F
• 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.
