The Jardini Arowana (Scleropages jardinii) is a majestic freshwater predator native to northern Australia and New Guinea. Known for its metallic sheen and bold scale pattern, it’s often called the “Pearl Arowana.” Unlike its Asian cousin, the Jardini is highly territorial and aggressive, best kept as a showpiece fish in a large, species-only aquarium. With proper care, it grows over 24 inches and becomes a true centerpiece for advanced aquarists. #jardiniarowana #arowana #freshwaterpredator #mon
