🐟 Albino Silver Arowana (Osteoglossum bicirrhosum – Albino Morph)
Freshwater Apex Surface Predator • Genuine Albino Genetics — Pale Body and Pink-to-Red Eyes • Genuinely Large, Long-Lived Species
📋 The Albino Silver Arowana is genuinely distinguished by true albino genetics, giving it a pale, near-white to soft yellow body and pink-to-red eyes, a striking contrast to the classic silver wild-type form of this South American surface predator.
This species is genuinely more light-sensitive than standard Silver Arowana given its albino eyes, and does best under subdued lighting with floating plants or shaded areas to reduce stress. 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' well-documented jumping behavior, and a genuine long-term commitment.
Unlike the Asian Arowana varieties we carry, this species is genuinely not CITES-listed and carries no special import restrictions, making it a more accessible option for keepers seeking a comparably majestic dragonfish.
