The Jardini Arowana or Scleropages jardini is one of the few different species of Arowana fish. These freshwater fish are sometimes referred to as Gulf Saratoga Barramundi, or Northern Spotted Barramundi. They have the classic elongated Arowana body with a bony tongue and markings on their tails and fins. Once very hard to find in the wild, these fish have been successfully bred in captivity, and have since become a popular aquarium fish. Watch the Jardini Arowana in the video below...Reaching almost 2-1/2' these fish require a large aquarium of well over 100 gallons with the following water conditions, 75-86° F, KH 1-10 and pH 6.9-7.1. They are not the easiest to care for, and will jump right out of the tank if you don't provide it with a tight lid. They shouldn't be kept with more aggressive species included most Cichlids.
Jardini Arowanas are carnivores that should be fed a variety of foods including krill, small fish and insects.
