Jardini Arowana - (Scleropages jardinii)
Fish Details, Description and Information Below:

🐟 Jardini Arowana — (Scleropages jardinii)

The Jardini Arowana, also known as the Pearl Arowana, is a stunning, ancient fish species prized for its shimmering metallic scales adorned with distinctive pinkish-gold to copper spots. Native to Northern Australia and parts of Papua New Guinea, this predatory species is a surface-dwelling powerhouse known for its strength, speed, and striking beauty.

Closely related to the Asian Arowana (Scleropages formosus), the Jardini is highly territorial and best suited for experienced keepers with very large aquariums. It’s a true centerpiece fish — both for its prehistoric appearance and commanding presence.

  • 🏠 Tank Size: Minimum 250 gallons for adults — larger is always better.
  • 🌊 Long, wide tanks preferred for swimming room.
  • 💨 Strong filtration and high oxygenation are critical.

🍽️ Diet
