Arowana is a very old fish that dates back to the Jurassic period, about 150 million to 200 million years ago. The Middle Jurassic era was known as the "reptile era" or the dinosaurs we know, so this gives some indications of how old the fish is.
During this time, the fish itself remained almost unchanged, making the arowana we see or the pet store of today a living fossil.
Many people either want or want a pet arowana, but they don't know or realize that the fish is on the verge of extinction. Fishermen and collectors did not realize that these fish were disappearing. In the past 50 years, the stock of arowana has become very low. The three main areas of fish found today are Asia, Australia and Amazon. Fortunately, the owners and breeders of this fish from around the world are helping to make a comeback.
Arowana in a suitable environment can grow to about 4 feet in size and weigh between 25 and 35 pounds. They are known in the wild as fiery aggressive fish, reaching speeds of up to 25 miles per hour, and shooting fast to capture prey. On the Amazon, people can see them jumping from the water and catching insects or birds on low branches. This earned them the nickname "Water Monkey". They are classified as carnivores or carnivores but eat other fish, insects or small birds.
Travel in the wild arowana, hunting and group fighting. Male and female dragon fish are united to defend the area and family there. In order to protect them, they are killed, bitten, physically beaten and charged in their own territory, putting them in a state of high alert.
In China, arowana is known as the symbol of wealth, luck, strength and strength in the Feng Shui, often referred to as the arowana. In this way, Asian arowanas become expensive and highly collectible.
I hope this reveals the mystery and hype surrounding this ancient fish called the arowana, and hopes to arouse your interest in this big fish.
