THE PRACTICAL SILVER AROWANA OWNER'S HANDBOOK is a comprehensive guide for aquarists who want to successfully raise one of the most impressive and demanding freshwater aquarium fish. Silver arowanas are renowned for their elongated bodies, metallic scales, powerful swimming abilities, surface-feeding behavior, and impressive adult size. Their beauty and intelligence make them highly sought-after by experienced fishkeepers, but their substantial space requirements and specialized husbandry demand careful preparation and long-term commitment.
