The market price of silver arowana

The price differences of silver arowana are mainly shown in their size, and size determines the price: around 20 cm is 50-70 yuan, around 35 cm is 90-100 yuan, 50 cm is 150-250 yuan, and 60 cm is 300-500 yuan.

Identifying male and female silver arowana

1. If the anal opening is U-shaped, it is female; if V-shaped, it is male.

2. The entire head of the female looks smaller than that of the male; because the male must hold the eggs in its mouth, its head is slightly larger.

How to select a silver arowana

1. Pay attention to the water quality for raising the fish; the water must be clear and cool, and it is best to smell it for any fishy odor. If there is a fishy odor, do not buy it.

2. When selecting an arowana, the arowana should be level, not with a drooping tail, and the barbels on the tail should be long and straight.

3. Look at the eyes: if the arowana develops cloudy eyes after being placed in the water, do not buy it.

4. Do not choose one that lies still and does not move.
