The life span of Arowana is generally about 10-18 years, but how long they can live is affected by the surrounding environment and feeding methods. The life span of artificially cultured Arowana is generally about 10 years. If the breeding environment is comfortable and the living space is sufficient, their life span can reach more than 10 years. They can only live for 5-8 years if they are kept in an uncomfortable environment and have insufficient food and space.

The life span of Arowana grown in the wild is longer, and the life span will be about 15-18 years. Because the space for living in the wild is more abundant, the food is more abundant, and the living environment is more suitable for their growth, the Arowana growing in the wild has a longer life span.

How big Arowana can grow depends on their living environment. If breeders can ensure that they have sufficient living space, their body length in adulthood is about 50-60 cm. If there is not enough living space, they may grow less than 50 cm.

But the Arowana raised in the wild or in ponds is about 80-100 cm long in adulthood. Because their living space is more abundant and their activity space is large, their body shape will naturally grow bigger. If breeders want them to grow bigger, they should not only ensure enough space, but also ensure that they have enough food and nutrition.
