Green dragon fish is one of the varieties of dragon fish, which is widely distributed in Southeast Asia. In Singapore, some people call green dragon fish green dragon fish. As can be seen from the picture of Arowana, the color of the scales of Arowana is blue-green or blue-gray, which is the origin of its name.
The shape of the green dragon fish is similar to that of the golden dragon fish, but the head is relatively smaller than that of other subspecies of dragon fish. If you look closely at the pictures of Arowana, you can find that there are many blue-blue spots on the scales on the side of the Arowana, which are very neatly arranged. This feature is also not found in other Arowanas.
In the juvenile period of the arowana, there will also be a unique darker markings on the scales. After the growth of the arowana, these markings will become U-shaped or horseshoe-shaped, so they are also called horseshoe prints. This may not be particularly obvious from the picture of Arowana, but it is a feature that distinguishes Arowana from other Arowana species.
Although the blue dragon fish does not have the dazzling gold quality of the golden dragon fish, nor the bright color of the red dragon fish, it is also loved by many arowana players, and many breeders who are new to the dragon fish will choose the green dragon fish.
In terms of feeding, green arowana is no different from other varieties of arowana.
Arowana has high water quality requirements, it is recommended that the pH value be maintained between 6.5-7.5 and remain stable, and the water temperature is recommended to be between 24-28°, which is also required to remain stable. This is because the arowana is very sensitive like other arowanas, and sudden and severe water quality fluctuations will cause discomfort in the arowana and cause disease in the arowana.
In terms of feeding, Arowana is mainly small fish and shrimp, and can be appropriately matched with loach or amphibians. However, it is necessary to pay attention to the disinfection of the food before feeding, and to remove the parts of the food that may cause damage to the arowana, such as shrimp shells and shrimp tongs. Feeding must be diverse in order to maintain the nutritional balance of Arowana.
I have seen the pictures of Arowana and learned about the knowledge of Arowana breeding. I believe that everyone will have a better understanding of Arowana. I hope that every dragon fish player can raise a dragon with excellent appearance!
