Known for its brilliant yellow coloration and elegant body shape, this albino variety of the Asian Arowana is both a visual centerpiece and a fascinating species to care for.

Size and Growth Potential

At 6-7 inches in length, this juvenile Super Banana Albino Arowana will continue to grow and can reach an impressive adult size of up to 36 inches (3 feet) under optimal conditions. Prospective owners should be aware of their large adult size and plan accordingly.

Temperament and Behavior

The Super Banana Albino Arowana is known for its calm yet commanding presence in the aquarium. While generally peaceful with similarly sized tank mates, it can become territorial and aggressive towards smaller fish or other Arowanas. Understanding their behavior helps ensure a harmonious aquarium environment.

Tank Size Requirements

Due to their potential size and active swimming habits, a spacious tank is crucial. We recommend a minimum tank size of 180 gallons, with a length of at least 6 feet to provide ample swimming space. A well-secured lid is essential, as Arowanas are known jumpers.

Ideal Water Parameters

• Temperature: 75-86°F (24-30°C)
• pH: 6.0-7.0 (slightly acidic to neutral)
• Water Hardness: Soft to moderately hard (1-8 dGH)
• Filtration: Strong filtration and regular water changes to maintain pristine water quality

Maintaining stable water parameters is key to the health and longevity of your Super Banana Albino Arowana.

Diet and Feeding

This carnivorous species thrives on a varied diet. Offer a mix of high-quality live or frozen foods such as shrimp, worms, crickets, and small fish. Supplementing with pellets formulated for carnivorous large fish ensures balanced nutrition. Feeding 1-2 times daily in quantities they can consume within a few minutes prevents overfeeding.

Compatibility with Other Fish

When considering tank mates, choose robust and similarly sized species to avoid aggression or predation. Suitable companions include large plecos, silver dollars, and other sizable, non-aggressive fish. Avoid small or slow-moving species to reduce the risk of them being targeted.
