Freshwater Apex Surface Predator • Genuine Full Crossback Gold Coloration • CITES Appendix I Protected — Please Read Before Ordering

 

⚠️ Important Legal Information — Please Read First

We want to be genuinely direct on this one, since it matters legally, not just practically. The Asian Arowana (Scleropages formosus) is genuinely listed on CITES Appendix I — the strictest tier of international wildlife trade protection, alongside species like the giant panda. Every legally traded specimen is individually microchipped and accompanied by a CITES certificate, a certificate of authenticity, and a birth certificate from a registered breeding farm. We are able to sell and ship this species legally within the framework that applies to us, but we want to be genuinely upfront: some countries, most notably the United States, prohibit the ownership or import of this species entirely, regardless of documentation. Please genuinely verify your own country's import laws before ordering — we cannot ship this species where it is not legally permitted to arrive.

 

📋 The 24K Golden Arowana is genuinely among the most prized Asian Arowana varieties, distinguished by full crossback gold scales extending across the dorsal line, native to the Bukit Merah and Pekan Nenas regions of Malaysia.

This is a genuinely large, long-lived apex predator, reaching up to 90cm, requiring a very large aquarium, a secure tight-fitting lid given this species' documented jumping behavior, and a genuine long-term commitment spanning potentially decades.
