🐟 Banjar Red Arowana (Scleropages formosus "Banjar Red")
Freshwater Apex Surface Predator • Genuine Salmon-Orange Coloration • CITES Appendix I Protected — Please Read Before Ordering
 
⚠️ Important Information — Please Read First
We want to be genuinely direct on two things here. First, the same legal disclosure applies as with our other Asian Arowana varieties: this species is CITES Appendix I protected, individually microchipped and documented, and some countries — the United States notably — prohibit ownership entirely regardless of paperwork. Please genuinely verify your country's import laws before ordering. Second, we want to be honest about the strain itself: the Banjar Red is genuinely a distinct, more affordable variant from the Banjarmasin region of Indonesia, and it will not develop the deep crimson red of a true Super Red — expect a genuine salmon-orange tone instead, which can even soften toward yellow or greenish-gray in some adults rather than intensifying with age.
 
📋 The Banjar Red Arowana displays a genuinely elegant metallic body with red-to-orange fins, native to the river systems around Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan.
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.
