The Golden Arowana (“24k”)

The Golden Arowana (often called “24k”) is the most revered of all Arowanas — prized across Asia for its metallic, gold-plated scales that catch light like polished treasure. Bred for generations in controlled environments, this variant retains the wild-type elegance of its Southeast Asian origins. Known for its calm demeanor and majestic swimming posture, it’s not just a fish — it’s a living heirloom. Requires a tank of 200+ gallons, stable water parameters (pH 6.5–7.2), and a covered enclosure (they are powerful jumpers). Not recommended for beginners. Every Golden Arowana we ship is hand-selected for scale integrity, color saturation, and health — and comes with a personalized care guide and free video consultation with our senior aquarists.
