    I remember when my uncle had an arowana and he had a huge tank for it. It was so fascinating to look at. My uncle used to have two but the stronger, bigger arowana killed it’s own brother. My uncle had that fish for about three months or so, and it was healthy and big. My auntie who was living in the same house as my uncle heard a loud thumping noise, like there was something bumping onto the floor rapidly one night. She went to check it out and saw the arowana dead. It had stopped moving. It has jumped out of its tank even though the roof of it was open a slight bit, and that thing was about 5-6 centimetres thick.

      Probably the tank doesnt fit for him, when fish jump out of the tank, there is 2 reason for it
      The tank size too small or the fish has too much excited for they water, they think they live on they natural environment and wanted to explore it out of the glass

  • @kienisgaming

    They're not that expensive for an albino white one, it only costs around 150-300 bucks. The prices go up for a red arowana (up to 70K) or a golden arowana (up to 300K). But they're extremely hard to take care of, you usually need a very big fish tank for just one arowana, their body is usually long so a big fish tank is needed for them to swim freely. Sometimes, they can get really aggressive also and they tend to jump off the water surface.

I noticed that in a separate tank, there is a single arowana which looks almost the same but if you look closer, it radiates golden streaks. I was told it’s a Golden arowana that costs P9,000 or around $180. I badly want it!!!!

    You didn’t mention that there are other types of arowana that are legal to keep in the US. The most common and cheapest is the silver arowana, which has a much more serpentine body type (some were shown in the video) and go for about $90 as juveniles. The extra white ones are called platinum and are much more valuable, like the one that sold for 300k. I’ve been into arowanas for a few years but I don’t have the space for a 500 gallon tank yet, sadly. I’ll get there.

      @@Thonycv I've seen arowana with the telltale pink eyes at specialized pet stores (tho in this video, like many have pointed out, uses silver arowana instead of actual albino arowana which is rly funny imo). I assume the ones I've seen just happened to be born there or they're donated for one reason or another, but I've seen a few very clearly albino arowanas being sold on occasion at pet stores

      The one in the video is platinum, albino fish have red or pink eyes and the white is a bit yellow or pink
