24K Golden Crossback Arowana

The 24K Gold Arowana, also known as the Malaysian Golden Crossback, stands as the unrivaled crown jewel of the aquatic world. At our facilities, we specialize in sourcing and acclimating these living treasures, ensuring that every specimen displays the intense, metallic gold plating that defines the breed. When you choose a 24K Gold Arowana from us, you aren’t just buying a fish; you are acquiring a symbol of prosperity and a masterpiece of natural engineering.

The Golden Standard of Quality

We maintain strict quality control over our inventory. A true 24K Gold Arowana must exhibit “Crossback” traits, where the gold scales extend fully over the back (the 6th level of scales). In our experience, the intensity of this gold is determined by both genetics and meticulous water chemistry. We select our fish based on their frame size, scale clarity, and the presence of the “Golden Head” trait, which is highly sought after by serious collectors worldwide.

Expert Care and Habitat Requirements

To maintain the majestic luster of a 24K Gold Arowana, we recommend a specialized approach to habitat management. These apex predators require significant space to flourish. We suggest a minimum tank size of 150 to 200 gallons for a sub-adult, though a 300-gallon setup is ideal for long-term health. Because these fish are powerful jumpers, we always emphasize the importance of a heavy, secure lid to prevent accidents.

Water quality remains the most critical factor in preserving their vibrant coloration. We suggest keeping your parameters within these specific ranges:

• Temperature: 75°F to 86°F (24°C to 30°C)

• pH Level: 6.5 to 7.5

• Water Hardness: 5 – 15 dGH

We perform 30% weekly water changes in our Greenland habitats to keep nitrate levels near zero. High nitrates can lead to “drop-eye” or gill curl, conditions we actively work to prevent through high-oxygen environments and strong filtration.

Nutritional Alchemy for Maximum Shine

Dietary variety is the secret to the deep, 24-karat glow. We feed our Arowanas a protein-rich rotation of high-quality pellets, frozen krill, and market-fresh shrimp. For advanced keepers, we also recommend occasional live insects like crickets or mealworms to stimulate natural hunting behaviors. This diverse intake ensures they receive the carotenoids necessary for scale development.
