Black Arowana (Osteoglossum ferreirai) – 12–13″

A Rare Amazonian Icon for the True Collector

Bring home one of the most sought‑after predatory show fish in the hobby. This 12–13 inch Black Arowana is entering its prime — sleek, powerful, and displaying the early metallic tones that make this species so captivating.

🌟 Why This Black Arowana Stands Out

  • Premium Size (12–13″) – Past the fragile juvenile stage, strong and feeding well
  • Deep Charcoal Body – With developing iridescent blues, purples, and silvers
  • Graceful, Surface‑Dwelling Predator – Known for its elegant glide and lightning‑fast strikes
  • Amazon Native – Wild lineage from the Rio Negro basin
  • Highly Intelligent – Recognises keepers and displays interactive behavior
