Platinum Arowana
$3,000.00 – $25,000.00What Makes the Platinum Arowana Unique?
The Platinum Arowana’s value comes from a rare genetic mutation that results in its iconic silver-white body color. Unlike other arowanas that come in gold, red, or green, the platinum variant has no pigmentation at all. The result is a breathtaking, mirror-like fish that appears to glow underwater.
This albino variant of the South American silver arowana is extremely rare. Each Platinum Arowana is the product of years of selective breeding and meticulous care, which is why they often sell for tens of thousands of dollars. For serious collectors, luxury aquarists, and interior designers, owning a Platinum Arowana is like owning a rare piece of living art.
Physical Characteristics
The Platinum Arowana stands out for its:
- Bright, shimmering silver-white scales
- Long, torpedo-shaped body with graceful movement
- Large pectoral fins that create a gliding motion
- Upturned mouth, typical of surface feeders
- Long lifespan of 10–20 years with proper care
These fish are often referred to as “dragon fish” due to their resemblance to mythical dragons in Chinese culture—bringing wealth, power, and prosperity according to feng shui beliefs.
Platinum Arowana Profile
Common Name: Platinum Arowana
Scientific Name: Osteoglossum bicirrhosum
Origin: Amazon Basin, selectively bred worldwide
Adult Size: Up to 36 inches (91 cm)
Care Requirements
Owning a Platinum Arowana is a rewarding experience, but it requires the right setup, attention, and commitment.
Experience Level: Advanced
While not overly aggressive, Platinum Arowanas are large, powerful fish with specific needs. We recommend them for experienced aquarists.
Tank Size: Minimum 250 gallons
These fish need space to swim freely. A custom-built tank is often necessary, with a secure lid to prevent jumping.
Water Parameters:
- Temperature: 75–82°F (24–28°C)
- pH: 6.5–7.5
- Water hardness: Soft to moderately hard
Habitat Setup:
Keep the tank decor minimal. Use smooth driftwood or floating plants to reduce stress. Powerful filtration is essential due to the high bioload.
Diet:
Platinum Arowanas are carnivorous. Feed them a varied diet of live or frozen foods such as shrimp, worms, krill, and feeder fish. Some individuals can be trained to accept pellets.
Behavior:
They are generally solitary and territorial. Avoid housing them with smaller tankmates or equally dominant species. They do well in a species-only tank or with robust, non-aggressive tankmates.
