Can arowana live

without oxygen? Arowana is a kind of fish that is not afraid of lack of oxygen, because when they lack oxygen, they will float near the surface of the water and put their mouths into the air to breathe the oxygen in the air. And when these fish breed, they rely on the foam they spit out to make nests. Therefore, if some oxygen devices, such as oxygen pumps, are placed at the bottom of the fish tank, it may cause their foam nests to be unstable, or even be directly dispersed, affecting their normal reproduction. So generally speaking, there is no need for oxygen. However, they may need oxygen in the young stage, because the respiratory system of young fish is not fully developed and may lack oxygen.
