{"title":"Arowana","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFreshwater arowana fish are a highly sought-after species due to their unique appearance, large size, and interesting behavior. They are native to Southeast Asia and can grow up to 3 feet in length. Arowanas have elongated bodies covered in large scales that come in a variety of colors, including silver, green, and red. They are known for their hunting prowess and jumping ability, which makes them a popular addition to large, well-maintained aquariums. Arowanas require specific water conditions and a proper diet to thrive in captivity, making them a more advanced species to care for. Due to their popularity, they can be expensive and are sometimes subject to illegal poaching, which has led to conservation efforts to protect wild populations.\u003c\/span\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"silver-arowana","title":"Silver Arowana(Osteoglossum bicirrhosum)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"group w-full text-gray-800 dark:text-gray-100 border-b border-black\/10 dark:border-gray-900\/50 bg-gray-50 dark:bg-[#444654]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex p-4 gap-4 text-base md:gap-6 md:max-w-2xl lg:max-w-xl xl:max-w-3xl md:py-6 lg:px-0 m-auto\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"relative flex flex-col w-[calc(100%-50px)] gap-1 md:gap-3 lg:w-[calc(100%-115px)]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-grow flex-col gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"min-h-[20px] flex flex-col items-start gap-4 whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Arowana, also known as the 'dragon fish' among aquarists, has a long body, tapered tail, and relatively large scales.

Their nose is rounded and used as a shovel to dig up small creatures for ingestion. They can be found in shades of grey, brown, or bronze, and juveniles may have dark stripes running along their body. They are naturally found in African watersheds such as the Nile River, Lake Chad, and Lake Turkana and have been fished for food and harvested for the aquarium trade. Something fascinating about these fish is their air-breathing capabilities, which they use to survive in oxygen-depleted water. The scientific name of the African Arowana is Heterotis niloticus, and they are also known as boneytongues.
