How to Keep Arowana? Detailed Guide to Raising Methods and Precautions

Arowana is a type of ornamental fish with very high ornamental value. In recent years, the market for ornamental fish can be said to be very good. Major parks, scenic spots, and even companies and households keep ornamental fish, so for breeders, the prospects for raising them are truly very good. So do you know how to keep arowana? Below let us look at how breeders raise arowana.

1. Preparation for Raising

Before raising arowana, you must make full preparations to avoid some unnecessary troubles. First, we need to understand the growth habits of arowana, then according to its living habits, choose a suitable breeding site and carry out the construction of the breeding facility. The breeding pond is best built with smooth materials, which can prevent the arowana's skin from being scraped. Second, install the drainage and water supply systems properly, and at the same time place appropriate reefs or algae in the breeding pond, which can help purify the water quality.

2. Variety Selection

There are many varieties of arowana, so choosing a suitable arowana variety before raising them is also a basic condition for successful breeding. Different arowana varieties have different requirements for environment, food, water quality, water temperature, and so on, so do not choose an arowana variety rashly. But as a breeder carrying out large-scale breeding, the editor still recommends raising these three varieties: golden arowana, silver arowana, and red arowana, because their adaptability is relatively good and they are also easier to raise.

3. Water Quality Management

When raising arowana, the most important thing is water quality management, which is directly related to whether the arowana can survive normally. Under normal circumstances, in order to ensure the water quality in the breeding pond, water must be changed at least three to four times a week. If conditions are better, we can also use a flowing water method for breeding. If changing the water, only change one third each time, which can remove polluting elements from the water. Also pay attention to water temperature management, and it is best to keep it at around 28 degrees.

4. Feeding Management

Feeding arowana must ensure balanced nutrition, and first we must ensure the quality of the feed. Generally, when feeding, preparing some small fish and small shrimp is enough, but if you want to improve the palatability of the feed, or carry out diversified feed breeding, you can also occasionally change the feed, such as loach, cockroaches, barley worms, yellow mealworms, and the like. But the editor does not recommend feeding too much of this type of feed, as it can easily cause bacterial or viral infections.
