Document format: pdf

Publisher: Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia-Pacific

Creation date: September 2003

The Golden Arowana is the most popular and expensive ornamental fish native to Malaysia. The best quality of the crossed-back full scale Arowana is the Malaysian Golden Arowana. This variety only occurs in Bukit Merah Lake in the state of Perak, Malaysia. In its natural habitat breeding season normally occurs from August to October every year. During the season village folk from around the lake will try to collect the valuable fry at night. In 1996 the Freshwater Fisheries Research Station (FFRC) was fortunate to successfully breed the Malaysian Golden Arowana in concrete tanks on the first attempt.
