A Tropical Fish Keeper For Many Years

If you've ever had the pleasure of entering a room featuring a properly housed Arowana in a well maintained tank, chances are your first impression remains imbedded in your mind. A sense of awe at the majesty of the fish and it's commanding, graceful presence can overcome the uninitiated during first Arowana contact. Sound like a slightly other-worldly experience? Their enormity and beauty, mythical ties and legendary effects on their owners and their environment suggests a fascinating magical element at work in the Arowana's allure.

The Benefits of an Aquarium

For over twenty years, studies have verified the health benefits of keeping aquarium fish. Scientific research has confirmed that gazing at aquarium fish reduces stress as well as blood pressure. Fish are commonly kept in doctors' offices to reduce patients' anxiety levels. Dental offices displaying fish report their patients require less pain medication. Watching fish can soothe children afflicted with hyperactive disorders. It can also improve the condition of Alzheimer's patients and help seniors maintain good health. The therapeutic benefits of aquarium fish are virtually indisputable.

The Extraordinary Arowana

The subtle but genuine health benefits of gazing at aquarium fish represent just some of the positive effects of keeping Arowanas. Their brilliant coloration, iridescent scales, distinct chin barbels and serpentine swimming style are all reminiscent of the ancient, mythical Dragon. Arowanas are considered the embodiment of this celebrated creature according to Asian and Chinese lure. They are typically referred to as "Dragon Fish." The legendary ability of the Dragon to ward off evil and attract good luck, prosperity and happiness has been transferred to the Arowana by means of association.

Feng Shui and the Dragon Fish

Feng Shui experts also acknowledge the benefits of keeping Arowana. Feng Shui is an ancient art that has been practiced and perfected for thousands of years. It involves the placement of elements within living spaces for the benefit of those inhabiting them. Feng Shui aims to achieve harmony, a connection with the environment, and a beneficial flow of energy throughout the areas in which we work and live.

Water is a basic and beneficial Feng Shui element, while both fish and the dragon symbolize wealth, success and prosperity. The union of water and Dragon Fish in an Arowana tank is a powerful combination with a great deal of potential for producing positive effects. Not only will the Arowana tank attract prosperity, but a clear and healthy aquarium adds beauty and natural balance to the surrounding area in which it is placed.

The Ultimate Fish Keeping Experience

In addition to the health benefits of keeping fish and the auspicious nature of the Arowana, they are also a great source of pride to their owners. Keeping a healthy Dragon Fish tank is perhaps the epitome of fish keeping accomplishment and excellence.

For starters, Arowanas are costly especially the Asian Arowanas. The asian variety is one of the most sought after fish in the aquarium industry, and their protected status due to endangerment in the wild makes them all the more difficult to procure. Arowanas must be specially bred in highly regulated, specialized farms. Depending on the species and quality of the fish, prices typically range to the thousands of dollars.

Keeping such a rare and expensive fish requires a level of confidence and fortunately this can be easily acquired in no time. Arowanas are aggressive and typically reach more than three feet in length in captivity. They require large, immaculately kept tanks to thrive and are generally kept as single species specimens but these days, I am seeing more hobbyist including tank mates. Hobbyist and professional Arowana keepers alike attest to the demands Arowana keeping makes on time, space, and financial resources.

Most Arowana keepers will also insist the rewards of their hobby far exceed the costs. They wholeheartedly embrace their burdens and enjoy serving the needs of these magnificent fish. Arowanas are arguably unequaled in beauty, and their longevity often allows for the development of a powerful, enduring bond between owners and their fish. More than any other fish, Arowanas inspire their owners to evolve from casually interested hobbyists into lifestyle converts passionately devoted to the service of the Kings of the Aquarium World.
