Arowana for Sale

The Fish Collection's arowana collection represents the pinnacle of freshwater fishkeeping — a curated selection of the world's most revered predatory fish. The family Osteoglossidae includes some of the most visually striking and culturally significant aquarium species on the planet: the iridescent Silver Arowana of the Amazon basin, the prehistoric-looking Black Arowana, the coveted Jardini Arowana from Australia, and the legendary Asian Arowana varieties prized across Southeast Asia as symbols of prosperity and power. Each arowana in our inventory is hand-selected for body conformation, scale quality, and coloration that meets the exacting standards serious collectors demand. Arowana husbandry is not for the faint of heart. These are large, powerful fish that require spacious accommodations — a minimum of 250 gallons for most species, with Silver Arowanas and Asian varieties ultimately demanding 500 gallons or more as they mature past two feet in length. They are apex predators that feed on pellets, shrimp, and market fish, and they possess a remarkable jumping ability that requires a secure, weighted lid on every tank. What they reward you with is a living centerpiece unlike anything else in the freshwater hobby — a fish that patrols its domain with effortless authority, recognizes its keeper, and displays coloration that shifts and deepens over years of dedicated care. Every arowana we sell is quarantined for a minimum of twenty-one days upon arrival at our facility. During quarantine we monitor for anchor worm, gill flukes, and the drop-eye condition common in captive arowanas. We verify that each fish is feeding aggressively on a varied diet and displaying the confident, surface-patrolling behavior that indicates excellent health. Shipping is handled with extreme care: arowanas travel in oversized, reinforced bags inside custom-built insulated containers with oxygenated water and temperature regulation. Our 100% live arrival guarantee covers every arowana we sell — if your fish does not arrive alive and in excellent condition, we replace it or refund in full.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are arowanas shipped safely given their size?
Arowanas are shipped in oversized, reinforced bags inside custom-built insulated containers with ample oxygenated water. We use heavy-duty heat or cold packs calibrated to seasonal weather and ship overnight express only. Each bag is placed inside a rigid inner liner to prevent puncture from sudden movement during transit. Our packing protocol for arowanas has been refined over years to ensure zero losses.
Does the live arrival guarantee cover arowanas?
Yes. Every arowana we sell is covered by our unconditional 100% live arrival guarantee. If your arowana does not arrive alive and in good health, we will replace it with an equivalent specimen or issue a full refund. Photograph the fish in the unopened bag within two hours of delivery and contact our team immediately.
How should I acclimate an arowana after delivery?
Float the sealed bag in your tank for 20 minutes to equalize temperature. Then drip-acclimate by adding small amounts of tank water over 45 to 60 minutes. Arowanas are sensitive to sudden changes in pH and hardness, so a slow transition is essential. Keep the tank lights off for the first 12 to 24 hours and ensure the lid is securely weighted — arowanas are powerful jumpers, especially when stressed.
Are arowanas legal to own in the United States?
Silver Arowanas, Black Arowanas, and Jardini Arowanas are legal to own in most US states. Asian Arowanas (Scleropages formosus) are CITES Appendix I listed and their import into the United States is restricted under the Endangered Species Act. The Fish Collection sells Asian Arowanas only to buyers in jurisdictions where ownership is permitted and includes full CITES documentation with every order. Our compliance team verifies legality for your state before shipping.
