Super Red Arowana — The Most Coveted Red in the Hobby
The SUPER RED AROWANA (also known as the Blood Red Arowana) is one of the most prized freshwater fish in the world — revered for its strikingly vibrant red scales and majestic, powerful swimming behaviour. A living symbol of wealth and prosperity across many cultures, this species is as auspicious as it is breathtaking.
Super Red Arowanas undergo a slow, dramatic colour development process. Their most intense, jewel-like red typically emerges after three or more years, making larger specimens especially coveted. Capable of reaching up to 90 cm (35 inches), this is a fish that commands presence in any aquarium.
Each Arowana in our collection is carefully nurtured on a premium, protein-rich diet of pellets, prawns, crickets, worms, and fish — ensuring optimal growth, vibrant colouration, and robust health. Every fish comes with a certificate of authenticity validating its lineage and quality.
🚚 How We Ship Live Fish to You (Ireland Only)
- Specialist live fish packaging: Each Arowana is shipped in a sealed, oxygen-rich bag inside an insulated polystyrene box to maintain stable temperature and water quality throughout transit.
- Next-day delivery: We ship exclusively within Ireland using next-day courier services to minimise stress on the fish.
- Arrival guarantee: We guarantee live arrival. In the unlikely event your fish arrives in poor condition, contact us within 2 hours of delivery with a photo/video and we will work with you to make it right.
- Shipping days: We dispatch Monday–Thursday to avoid fish being held over weekends.
🐟 Acclimation Guide — Important!
- Float the sealed bag in your aquarium for 15–20 minutes to equalise temperature.
- Open the bag and add small amounts of your tank water every 5 minutes over 30 minutes.
- Use a net to transfer the fish into the tank — do not pour the bag water into your aquarium.
- Keep the tank lights off for the first few hours to reduce stress.
- Do not feed for the first 24 hours.
🌿 Care Requirements
- Tank size: Minimum 500 litres for adults
- Water temperature: 24–30°C
- pH: 6.5–7.5
- Filtration: High-quality canister or sump filtration essential
- Diet: Pellets, prawns, crickets, worms, and feeder fish

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Is it legal to buy a Super Red Arowana in Ireland?
Yes. All our Arowanas are CITES-certified captive-bred fish, legally imported and sold within Ireland and the EU.

Full red colouration typically develops after 3+ years. Larger fish will already show more developed colour. Diet, water quality, and lighting all influence colour intensity.
