About Arwana fish

Arwana tank or arwana aquarium is an important ingredient in the life of your arwana fish. So, you want to make sure that your tank or aquarium is appropriate for your fish.

Below are 3 tips on arwana care by having the right aquarium for your fish.

1. Tank size

Make sure that your tank is suitable for different size of arwana. A 200 gallon or 750 liter aquarium is a recommended minimum size, but it can go smaller if your arwana fish is small.

2. Tank cover

Yes, this is important because arwana can jump up to 2 meters or over 6 feet. It means these adult arwana fish are strong and you want to have a strong cover to prevent them from jumping out of your arwana tank.

3. Tank water temperature

a. Since arwana are tropical fish, you want to keep them comfortable in their tropical habitat. You can do this by maintaining the water temperature between 75 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Buy a digital tank thermometer to measure the temperature. This will help you keep track of your tank water temperature all the time.

b. Arwana tank water is preferably maintained at pH of 6.0 to 7.0. Check your tank water regularly to maintain the health of your arwana fish. Your fish can be susceptible to diseases or become weak if they don't live the water with sauitable pH level.

c. You are also advised to change about 10 to 20 percent of water when the arwana aquarium needs to have new water. Your arwana fish might go into shock if you replace more water than advised and this could be fatal to your arwana fish.

These tips are just guides. I would recommend you learn more about your arwana fish by referring to arwana experts. One way to do it is buy a few books about caring for arwana fish yourself. I'm sure this will add more knowledge on how you keep your arwana fish healthy.
