Albino Banana Silver Arowana 2-3”

Albino Silver Arowana (2–3”) – Rare Juvenile Showpiece

The Albino Silver Arowana (Osteoglossum bicirrhosum) is a stunning variation of the classic South American Silver Arowana. At just 2–3 inches, these juveniles already showcase their elongated body, signature barbels, and brilliant albino coloration with striking red or pink eyes.

This is a true monster fish centerpiece that grows into an impressive, surface-cruising predator when provided proper space and care.

Albino Silver Arowanas are known for recognizing their owners and feeding aggressively at the surface, making them one of the most engaging large predatory fish in the hobby

Size & Growth

These fish grow quickly during their first year. Be prepared with an upgrade plan as they will outgrow smaller tanks fast.

A tight-fitting lid is mandatory. Silver Arowanas are powerful jumpers and can easily clear open tops

Temperament & Tank Mates

Albino Silver Arowanas are semi-aggressive and predatory. Suitable tank mates include:

• Large plecos
