African Arowana Heterotis Niloticus Welcome to our store, where the majestic African Arowana, Heterotis Niloticus, awaits enthusiasts seeking the allure of an iconic aquatic beauty. Originating from the freshwater rivers and basins of West Africa, this striking species captivates with its elongated body, iridescent scales, and distinctive long fins. Feeding these magnificent creatures is a delight, as they readily accept a diverse diet of live foods like insects, small crustaceans, and even pellets or flakes. Their peaceful nature makes them ideal for community tanks with similarly sized, non-aggressive fish. However, it's recommended to avoid housing them with overly aggressive or territorial species. Despite their impressive appearance, African Arowanas tend to be relatively peaceful, displaying minimal aggression towards tank mates. Their calm demeanor makes them suitable for intermediate-level aquarists seeking a captivating addition to their setups. Maintaining optimal water conditions is crucial: aim for temperatures between 72-82°F (22-28°C), a pH range of 6.5-7.5, and ample space for swimming in a generously sized tank, considering their eventual adult size. Experience the elegance and grace of the African Arowana – a gem from the waters of Africa that adds a touch of exotic beauty to any aquarist's collection.Above images for illustration purposes only.
