Arowana is a common ornamental fish at present, and is more popular. So one of the things we care about is how long they live. However, its life span is affected by many factors. Arowana itself is a long-lived fish, if the wild Arowana, it can even survive as long as 30 years. However, the arowana sold on the market at present is generally cultivated artificially and hybridized, their appearance may be better, ornamental is better, but their life is not as long as the wild arowana life, generally between 6-7 years, rarely can reach more than 10 years.
Specifically, it is uncertain how long arowana can live in aquaculture, because different aquaculture methods and different surrounding environmental conditions will affect the survival time of arowana. Many factors in the surrounding environment affect the survival time of arowana, such as water quality, food, oxygen content and light, etc. Generally speaking, if raised in the family, arowana can survive for 3-5 years, because we can not always keep the various factors of the surrounding environment in a suitable state. Even some less experienced breeders will die after a few months of breeding. However, it is very possible for arowana to survive for more than 10 years if they are very experienced breeders. For a novice breeder, the best choice for breeding arowana is to choose a better silver arowana, and those with rich experience in breeding can choose other varieties.
