	Asian arowana Information (Site not responding. Last check: )
		All osteoglossids are highly adapted to freshwater and are incapable of surviving in the ocean; therefore, the spread of Asian arowanas throughout the islands of southeast Asia suggests they diverged from other osteoglossids before the continental breakup was complete.
		The green arowana is the only one of the four species to have the combination of a narrow head and long upper jaw (maxillary); it also has a short anal fin.
		One belief associated with Asian arowanas is that while water is a place where chi gathers, it is naturally a source of yin energy and must contain an "auspicious" fish such as an arowana in order to have balancing yang energy.

	Arowana Profile (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The silver arowana is a trully magnificent fish, a true dragon of the freshwater aquarium.
		Specimens smaller than this may still have their yolk sac, and some argue that they should not be purchased at that stage, because they are more fragile and unable to adapt to new aquarium conditons.
		The pacu grew up with the arowana in the 20 gallon tank since it was about 2.5 in in length, now it is 8in long.

		If you are lucky enough to own a South American arowana, or one of the Asian species (Scleropages leichardti or S. formosus, for which basic care is identical), or ifyou know someone who does own one, there are a few basic rules you should know for the care of these valuable specles.
		Arowanas are exceptionally strong, and the more secure the top, the longer your arowana will survive.
		But large arowanas have some respectable dentition and I recommend that care be taken to avoid being bitten when working in their tanks.

	Silver arowana under threat \| Practical Fishkeeping magazine
		The killing of mouthbrooding Silver arowana to remove their offspring and export them for the global aquarium trade may be placing the species under threat according to a new study.
		It is also of commercial importance to the aquarium industry and in 2001 the export of one million juvenile Silver arowana contributed around $560,000 to the rural poor of Peru, according to official records.
		Moreau and Coombes suggest that guidance in the sustainable use of the Silver arowana fishery is needed, rather than an outright ban on the sale of the species, as there is an absence of supporting data on the conservation status of the species.

	Arowana
		Fishes from this period are mostly known from fossil remains, and the Arowana is one of the few remaining living examples of this group.
		We have heard of their being trained to accept strips of raw fish from the fingers, which solves the feeding problem when there are no live fish on hand.
		Once an Arowana adapts itself to a tank and if given the proper attention, it will usually live to a ripe old age and make an interesting conversation piece.

		The Arowanas still are not eating with as much gusto and enthusiams as when they were in the top tank, but that's okay since they are atleast eating.
		Ever since I changed the way I feed the Arowanas and Archerfishes (put everything in a container and spread their entire feed along the length of the tank), all the fishes are getting a chance at eating.
		Since the Silver Arowanas do not stay still it is hard to tell but on Righty it seems like something is on the surface of her eye.

		Pic 2 gives you the opportunity to look at both the Arowana’s peculiar swimming posture (and appreciate his size too) and - in the background - check the water intake (of the wet-dry filter) column.
		Overfed Arowanas tend to drop down eyes (it is not really a disease but is definitely ugly to look at!) and, despite all efforts, Junior has his right eye looking a bit down so every Sunday he is on diet …
		Arowana’s tankmates should be chosen to be, in the long run, REAL tankmates and not to be looked at as the “next meal” …

	My Experience with Arowanas
		Foreword: The Arowana (aka Aro or the Dragon/Dragon Fish) is NOT a cichlid (Fam.: Osteoglossidae) but is probabaly the most incredible, demanding, fascinating, tiring, satisfying fish I've ever kept.

		African Arowana (Heteriotis niloticus): from Nile river and its basin, in Africa.

		Arowanas are very very sensitive to them...I know I've lost one.

		Since Silver Arowana are surface dwellers, the Australians tend to stay at the bottom most of the time.
