Wow I love arowanas I have never seen one of these . Nice to know nature still has control over us. Beatuiful fish. Good to see somone tak'en care of there freind.
the thing about african arowanas that i think is funny is that theyre body shape is close to an other arowanas like the silvers and jardinis but theyre head is very different
They are actually arowanas, arowana is simply the common name given to the Osteoglossinae family, this includes the Osteoglossinae sub-family, (silver aro, black aro, asian aro, and both Australian speacies) and the Heterotidinae sub-family (african aros, and Aropima gigus)
African arowana has a more terminal mouth than other species of arowana found in Asia and South America. Despite being called an "Arowana", the African arowana is more closely related to Arapaima gigas, the only other member in the subfamily Heterotidinae... Cool fish, I want one!
its a real african arowana... how on earth did you find one of these?
