Aquarium fishes have been around for a while and have grown in popularity all over the world
. The Yellow Tail Arowana is one of the most popular varieties of the species. Also known as the Yellow Tail Dragonfish, it is believed to bring good luck. This is the kind of arowana you might want to care for in your home.
Not only people who have lots of money can care for arowanas. You can buy baby Yellow Tail Arowana that still have their egg sacs attached in stores for a lesser price than grown ones. They are very delicate at this size but they will be able to feed on their own once the egg sac is gone. Caring for these fish can be a little demanding but it is also very gratifying.
However, do you know the secret in caring for Arowanas? It is how and what you feed them. They demand live food like bloodworms, and cockroaches. Tubiflex worms, brine shrimp, and beef hearts are also great for them. Feeding arowanas zucchini or lettuce can also be considerable. As you see them grow and burst into color, you won't mind the money you will be spending on feeding them.
Where you start putting your arowana is also of concern. It is important to house them in a large tank because not giving them enough space to swim can hinder their growth. They are also known to break undersized tanks. Be sure to cover your tank because they might jump out.
I am an arowana lover myself and I have found them to be one of the most beautiful fishes in the world. I have been taking care of my Yellow Tail Arowana for a year and a half and it is already at its full growth. You just have to know the nitty-gritty of the fish you choose to take care of before you buy them. Good luck!
