Golden Arowana Super High Back - 6 inch With Certificate

The Golden Arowana Super High Back is one of the most sought-after monster fish in the hobby, valued for its regal swimming style, broad body shape, and the rich metallic gold tone that develops prominently across the upper scale rows as it matures. At around 6 inches, this juvenile specimen is an excellent stage for hobbyists who want to raise and groom a premium Asian Arowana from an early size in a controlled display aquarium. The included certificate adds confidence for buyers looking for an authentic high-value fish.

This variety is best suited for aquarists who understand the needs of large predatory freshwater fish. Super High Back Golden Arowanas need clean, stable water, generous swimming length, secure tank covers, and a calm environment to settle well. With proper feeding, low stress, and consistent maintenance, they can grow into an impressive centrepiece fish with strong shine, elegant finnage, and commanding presence.

Key Features

• Appearance: Long, torpedo-shaped body with large reflective scales, upturned mouth, flowing fins, and a premium golden sheen typical of Super High Back strains.
• Size: Supplied at approximately 6 inches, a manageable juvenile size for acclimation and grow-out under attentive care.
• Colors: Metallic gold tones with darker contrast on the back; coloration and shine usually improve further with age, diet, water quality, and lighting.
• Lifespan: With proper long-term care, Arowanas can live for many years and become a true show fish in large home aquariums.
• Temperament: Predatory, territorial, and best kept singly in most home aquariums, especially during growth.
• Water Type: Freshwater monster fish that prefers stable, well-filtered conditions with low ammonia and nitrite.

Care Requirements

• Tank Size: Juveniles can be started in a large grow-out tank, but adults require a very spacious aquarium with strong swimming length; a future setup of 6 feet or more is strongly recommended.
• Water Parameters: Ideal temperature is 24-30°C with pH around 6.5-7.5. Stability matters more than chasing exact numbers, and sudden swings should be avoided.
• Diet: Offer a varied carnivorous diet such as quality Arowana pellets, shrimp, insects, and other suitable protein-rich foods. Avoid overfeeding and use clean, trusted feed sources.
• Tank Mates: Best kept alone or only with very carefully chosen large compatible tank mates in extra-large aquariums. Small fish will be seen as food.
• Care Tips: Use a tight-fitting lid because Arowanas are powerful jumpers. Maintain strong filtration, regular water changes, subdued initial lighting, and a quiet placement to reduce stress during acclimation.
• Handling Note: Because this is a premium certified fish, acclimation should be slow and gentle, with lights dimmed and unnecessary disturbance kept to a minimum on arrival day.

This 6 inch Golden Arowana Super High Back is ideal for serious hobbyists building a premium monster fish collection. Good grooming, stable water quality, and a long-term upgrade plan are the keys to bringing out its best body shape and golden shine.
