‎ Let's visit the 2023 CIPS Global Arowana Championship! Arowana are known as "dragon fish" because of their large shiny scales, long serpent-like body, and whiskers around their mouth. Cory shows us arowana of every color and scale pattern imaginable - including brilliant gold, blood red, and steel blue. Plus, they had other championships going on at the same time, like datnoid tiger fish and aquascaping contests.

There really is no question why arowanas are associated with wealth and riches. Absolutely beautiful! I had never heard of long-finned arowanas before.

@angemcauslan2551 9 ай бұрын

I was thinking the same thing. I don’t like selective breeding to the point where it impacts the fishes mobility so much.

@Timbobjr 9 ай бұрын

You see that a lot with Bettas and Angelfish too, years of selective breeding to get those long beautiful fins. But they end up hurting the fishes ability to swim, especially with old age

I highly recommend reading "The Dragon Behind the Glass" by Emily Voigt to learn more about this fish and some of the crazy stuff that goes on to acquire and breed them.

It's crazy to think how they move then, from tank to tank, and all their fins were perfect. You'd think the fins would be beat up from moving. They got net skills!

@james6687 9 ай бұрын

Net and wrap them in the netting so they can't thrash about. Some use towel contraptions.

@thewhitewolf173 9 ай бұрын

From the professional side we used specialized bag nets, essentially a giant plastic bag with a small amount of fine rubberized mesh at the end. Super slow movements is key. Bag net into big bag while in the tank. Only way to limit the thrashing.

I grew up going to a sweet pet storein San Diego that had large arowanas on display. I worked in the high end aquarium trade for nearly 10 years and never met anyone who had 1 in their tanks. I almost bought 1 a few times but such a big investment in time money and space.

@rjhemedes 9 ай бұрын

The arowana with the very long butterfly like fins - to me its what a betta would look like if it was the size of a large koi. I normally don't care for arowanas since they are high maintenance and take up a lot of space, but for a specimen like that, I'd be tempted to have an arowana tank if I had the money and and space for it.
