The food must be adequate and given regularly, the water quality is also well controlled and are given drugs that are not polluted by chemical substances that are toxic.
Aquarium conditionsAnyone who maintains arowana certainly would proudly put the fish in the best kuarium. So that it reflected the maximum elegance, then only an arowana alone in an aquarium. Do not put the aquarium on the wall (wall) much less stick. Because if arowana see insects such as cockroaches or lizards on the walls, he would jump up and butting glass wall of the aquarium, so it can be wound. Calculate a large aquarium with a huge fish, so the fish can move freely and glide across the room enough. Give adequate illumination. To control the water temperature (27-30 degrees Celsius), preferably mounted on the wall aquarium thermometer and end submerged into the water. Measure the pH at least once a week.Background / Background: Aquarium is recommended to use the background of an image / sticker / paint. Color according to taste. However most hobbies using background color according to type of arowana are maintained, for example:

Every three months the total drained aquarium and the glass must be free of moss, and Sabuni aquarium wall and when it, dry it in the sun, so that fungus and germs die. New water in the aquarium should be deposited before 24 hours before the fish is put back into the aquarium. The oxygen content in the water must be maintained by installing aerators that also functions as a pump and filter impurities.
Merging Arowana in One AquariumsThe ideal two tail arowana mixed as a child. But if an adult can generally be given as long as the aquarium glass partition. If both fish visibly angry with his mouth wide open, meaning the two do not get along. If in a week there is no change, meaning they do not match. Take another fish, do the same way, if not to show anger, means suitable, slowly removable glass partition. Observe carefully. If the two are not mutually chase. Meaning they can live in peace.
woofEach week, an additional 2-3 arowana fed lizards are not too big, and every two weeks by three tails centipede. Centipedes or millipedes including Arowana favorite food, so be careful to give it.

He would squirm and continue to urge centipedes, until finally could catch and swallow.Arowana also want to eat live fish. Generally in Indonesia given the goldfish and tart were still puppies. However, it must be careful, because it is not impossible that the fish carry bacteria and disease that will infect arowana.

Provide crickets or centipede one by one, so that the fish will only hunt the prey alone.Actually arowana also eat cockroaches, lizards, moths or grasshoppers, crickets as a distraction. However, Arowana not too often fed lizards, his eyes are not bulging or protruding outward.Arowana in order to remain healthy and quality, which is no less important is maintaining healthy aquarium water remains clean and suitable for the habitat arowana.
