The Arowana or better known as kelisa fish in Malay society are freshwater fish. They can be found in South America, Africa, Australia and Asia, where the climate is tropical-based with temperatures ranging from 24⁰C to 30⁰C.

Arowana became a highly sought-after ornamental fish in Malaysia in the 1960s. They are considered to be symbols of good luck and prosperity, especially by those from the Asian culture. This reputation derives form the species’ resemblance to the Chinese dragon, considered an auspicious symbol.

Arowana fish, also sometimes called the dragon fish, can be a great choice for those who think big. They can grow up to 90 cm in length and live for more than 20 years. They can be feisty, though become tamer with age to the point of eating from your fingers, and not the fingers themselves. Adults feed on other fishes while the juveniles feed on insects.

Asian Arowana are parental mouth-brooders. The male fish is responsible for carrying the eggs in the mouth and can hold up to a maximum of 40 to 50 eggs. The young may make several tentative trips outside the parent’s mouth to investigate the surroundings before leaving permanently.

In farms, these eggs are harvested by forcing the male fish to release the eggs from its mouth. The eggs are then transferred to a tank where they grow until the remains of the egg sac disappears.

When the young fish have reached about six inches, they are injected with an RFID chip for identification after which the fish are ready to be sold to hobbyists and investors.
