Indonesian Red Arowana (Scleropages legendrei) [Giant]

The Indonesian Red Arowana (Scleropages legendrei) is a rare and highly prized freshwater fish native to the rivers and peat swamps of Kalimantan (Borneo), Indonesia. Known for its deep, vibrant red coloration that intensifies with age, this arowana is revered for its elegance and symbolic association with prosperity and good fortune. It has large, metallic scales, long pectoral fins, and a commanding presence, often gliding gracefully near the surface. As a surface feeder, it primarily eats insects, small fish, and crustaceans. The Indonesian Red Arowana is considered a national treasure and is protected due to habitat loss and its limited natural range.
