Arowana is not a difficult fish to keep. After all, it has survived throught millions of years until man came into its way. All you need is to spend one to two hours per week taking care of it and you will have years of enjoyment watching this beautiful fossil dragon swimming in your aquarium.

pH: Althought arowana can withstand a reasonable range of pH, they should be kept in water that is slightly acidic or neutral. Make sure you check you pH regularly, especially if you have something in your setup that will altered pH, eg peat, CO2 system(in planted aquarium), etc.Hardness: Arowana like soft water but can also tolerate water with reasonable hardness.
Arowana is carnivorous fish. they produce large amount of waste. High amonia, nitrite and nitrate are common problem in arowana tank. Regular water change is the easiest way to deal with it. 1/4-1/3 water change per week is recommanded, 20% twice a week is even better if you have the time. Make sure you adjust the temp and pH of the new water similar to the tank's. Sudden drop of temperature or pH is dangerous and could sometime proved to be lethal.
