🐟 Blood Red Arowana (Scleropages formosus "Blood Red")

Freshwater Apex Surface Predator • Genuine Deep Crimson Coloration • CITES Appendix I Protected — Please Read Before Ordering

 

⚠️ Important Legal Information — Please Read First

We want to be genuinely direct on this one, same as with our other Asian Arowana varieties: this species is genuinely listed on CITES Appendix I — the strictest tier of international wildlife trade protection. 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.

 

📋 The Blood Red Arowana is a genuine, distinct sub-grade of Super Red, originating from pockets of population along Borneo's Kapuas River system that develop a genuinely deep, glittering crimson color across the gill plates, scales, and fins — different enough in shade to be recognized under its own name, while still commanding a similar premium price range to true Super Red.

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.
