Super Red

Super red Asian arowana is a red color variety of Scleropages formosus, selected for deep red or orange-red development on the scales, fins, and gill plates. Trade names and farm lines vary, and color often matures over time rather than appearing fully in small juveniles. Diet, lighting, water quality, age, and genetics can all influence the visible red, so a young fish sold as super red should be backed by credible origin information rather than color promise alone.

Responsible super red arowana ownership includes both aquarium skill and legal awareness. Asian arowanas are controlled in international trade, and documented farm-bred fish may come with certificates, microchips, or other records. The fish needs a spacious covered tank, stable warm water, strong filtration, and careful feeding to protect body condition and avoid water fouling. Buyers should examine swimming posture, eye position, barbel condition, scale alignment, and paperwork. Breeders and dealers should be clear about farm source, age, and what color has already developed.
