Arowana, belonging to the arapaima family, is a species of freshwater ornamental fish that is widely distributed in tropical regions. It enjoys a high reputation in Asia, especially in East Asian countries such as China, Japan, and Thailand, and is loved for its unique body shape, variety of body shapes, and rich color variations. In this article, I will introduce you to the popular science knowledge of Arowana and take you to understand this beautiful fish from multiple aspects.
1. Species distribution: Arowana is widely distributed in tropical areas, mainly living in Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, India, Brunei, Singapore, Malaysia, etc., and a small amount is distributed in southern China. It is widely lived in these areas and has been successfully bred and farmed, becoming an important part of the ornamental fish farming industry.
2. Appearance characteristics: As a freshwater fish widely considered to have ornamental value, Arowana has a unique body shape and variable color. They have a wide body and are often described as a small dragon. There are also a large number of scales and patterns on its body surface, which are shaped like silk and twine, and the lines are smooth and natural. In addition, the body of the Arowana also has a variety of strange patterns, including markings, patterns and stripes.
3. Arowana character and reproduction: Arowana is a relatively lively and active fish that usually requires relatively large aquariums for farming. Each Arowana has a long lifespan, surviving for more than 10 years. The reproduction of arowana is very complex and requires control of multiple environmental conditions such as water quality, temperature, and light. However, with the continuous research and progress of human beings on Arowana, the breeding technology of Arowana has been gradually optimized, and the Arowana on the market is becoming more and more diverse.
Arowana is a beautiful, unique freshwater fish that is loved for its ornamental value and high cost of breeding, farming, and maintenance. In the growth process of Arowana, multiple factors such as water quality, temperature, light, nutrition and so on are constantly involved, so successful breeding of Arowana requires adequate preparation and technology. However, with the continuous research and progress of people's Arowana, we believe that the varieties and breeding technology of Arowana will have broader development prospects.
