If in a Japanese restaurant , it 's called Unagi fish .The content of vitamin A IU/100 reach 4,700 grams , while the eel liver higher , yaitu15.000 IU/100 grams . Higher vitamin A content of butter which only reached 1,900 IU/100 grams . Even the DHA content of 1337 mg/100 g eel beat salmon while only 820 mg/100 mg/100 grams or 748 grams of mackerel .

How to Take Care of Arowana fish in the Aquarium - Every aquarium, there should only be one arowana (solitary), because it is not easy for one to live with arowana fish like. To get a quality arowana fish healthy and certainly needed in aquarium conditions are almost identical to their natural habitat. Food should be fairly and be given regularly, water quality is also well controlled and given drugs that are not tainted by chemicals that are poisonous.

Aquarium conditions

 Anyone who maintains arowana definitely proud to be putting fish in kuarium best. So that it reflected the elegance of the maximum, then only one course in an aquarium arowana. Do not place the aquarium near the wall (wall) let alone stick. Because if Arowana see insects such as cockroaches or lizards on the wall, he will jump and butting wall aquarium glass, so it can be wound. Calculate large aquarium with a huge fish, so the fish can move freely and fairly rolled in the room. Give adequate lighting. To control the water temperature (27-30 degrees Celsius), the thermometer should be placed in the aquarium walls and ends dipped into the water. Measure pH at least once a week.

 Background / Background: The Aquarium is recommended to use a background image / sticker / paint. Color according to taste. However most hobbies using appropriate background color arowana species are maintained, for example:
* Super Red = black background
* Golden Cross Back = black background
* Red Tail Golden = Background blue / white
* Bandjar Red = Background blue / white
* Silver = Background black / blue

 
Feeding

Although there are no standards, arowana should be fed 3-4 times a day. It takes 8-10 tail crickets a day. Before given, crickets hind legs are jagged cut first, so as not to scratch the esophagus arowana. To be assured that the food is not left in the tank. Crickets, centipedes, cockroaches and shrimp, contain carotenoids and chitin substances that can give the effect scales beautiful, bright and shiny on the Arowana.

Water Quality 

In addition to temperature and pH, the water quality is also maintained by removing impurities from the water that the fish waste and leftover food itself. With the filter, dirt can be removed, while the dirt that settles in the bottom of the aquarium aspirated with a hose. Should do it slowly so the fish are not great shakes due to water stress. Every three months and the total drained glass aquarium should be free from moss, and sabuni aquarium wall and when it is, dry it in the sun, so that mold and germs die.

 New water in the aquarium should be deposited first 24 hours before the fish is put back into the aquarium. Oxygen content in the water must be maintained by installing aerators that also functions as a pump and filter impurities.

Merging Arowana in One Aquariums 

  The ideal two-tailed arowana mixed when still small. But when an adult can generally be given as long as the aquarium glass bulkhead. When these two angry looking fish with its mouth wide open, meaning they do not get along. If there is no change in a week, meaning they do not fit. Take another fish, doing a similar way, if not to show anger, meaning fit, slowly removed the glass partition. Observe carefully. When they are not chasing each other. Means they can live in peace.

 Woof

Each week, an additional 2-3 arowana fed lizards are not too big, and every two weeks was given three tail centipede. Centipedes or millipedes include arowana favorite foods, so be careful to give it. If every day were centipedes, the arowana will be reluctant to take crickets or frogs once. He will only eat centipedes.

However, a centipede hunt arowana fish in the water is an interesting attraction in your aquarium. Because centipede able to move very fast in the water though, the Arowana must demonstrate mastery'' 'hunt for food. He will continue to squirm and urged centipedes, until finally can catch and swallow.

Arowana are also willing to eat live fish. Given generally in Indonesia and Sepat which goldfish are still puppies. But be careful, because it is not impossible that the fish carry bacteria and disease that will infect arowana. Dead shrimp was like arowana, but for maintenance in the aquarium, you should not have to be given, because it will make the aquarium water murky and leftovers that will easily rot and cause illness for arowana. 

 In order Arowana not squint do not spread food all at once into the aquarium. Arowana because it will confuse and eyes will stare in all directions. Give crickets or centipede one by one, so that the fish will only hunt the prey alone.

Actually arowana also eat cockroaches, lizards, moths or grasshoppers, crickets as a distraction. However, do not be too often arowana fed lizard, his eyes not bulging or protruding outward.

In order to remain healthy and quality Arowana, which is no less important is to keep the aquarium water clean and healthy habitat suitable for Arowana. Therefore, it takes some medication to clear up the water and keep fit as habitat conditions arowana aquarium. These drugs are already packaged in its finished form, so it can be directly purchased at merchants ornamental fish and aquarium water to mix the recommended dosage.

 Disease

The cause is divided into two, namely nonparasiter and parasitic organisms. Parasitic organisms that originated in viruses, bacteria, fungi, worms or protozoa. Being the nonparasiter as environmental factors, diet and heredity. But in fact, both types of disease-causing attacks that are difficult to distinguish.

There are distinctive features that teserang arowana fish disease, either as a result of parasitic and nonpasrasiter, which looks passive and weak, tend to swim on the surface of the water, decreased appetite, difficulty breathing, the body of the fish is not slippery, because the mucous membrane is reduced, so that the fish easily arrested. Another sign, on the chest and bleeding from damaged scales, dorsal fin cracked.

Environmental factors that cause fish illness, among others, the pH of the water. Fluctuations in water pH is influenced by many things, such as the presence of CO2 in water. Then change the water temperature suddenly also greatly affect the health of fish. In addition to the reduced amount of oxygen in the water and the presence of toxic gases
such as CO2, ammonia and water pollution will also damage the health of fish. Then the food factor, as already mentioned above earlier, fresh fish will feed risky, because fish can carry disease. Then heredity is also a big problem on arowana, such scales are not good, your back is not straight or albino and conjoined twins.

Parasitic organisms can cause symptoms of infection fish lice, gill rot, white spot, smallpox and tuberculosis, infected with fungus Saprolegnia and Achlya, bacteria destroyer fins and itch.

When we saw how beautiful and graceful arowana fish in an aquarium, especially when he pursues his prey, we would be awed and amazed. But for that, arowana also requires careful maintenance and care. Because many types of diseases that are ready'' to pounce ".
