The composition of my family's arowana.

Arowana, scientific name: Scleropages formosus, English name: Red Arowana, 80 ~ 90 cm long. Arowana lives in a small range and mainly grows in rivers in Sumatra and Kalimantan, Indonesia. Arowana, which cannot be artificially propagated, is on the verge of extinction, so it is listed as a class A protected animal by the Washington Convention, which is extremely precious.

Arowana is an ancient fish, which belongs to the family Osteoglossidae and has weak reproductive ability. It is very strange that females lay eggs and males hatch and feed in their mouths. Because of its two beards, shiny scales and ancient life experiences, people naturally associate it with the mysterious dragon and call it "arowana". Arowana is regarded as a sacred fish in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and places where overseas Chinese are concentrated. It can be raised as a feng shui fish in Wang Jiazhen, especially arowana, which was listed as a class A protected animal by the Washington Wildlife Protection Treaty in 1980. In Hongkong, Macau and Taiwan Province, the price of one-stop fish is more than one million yuan, which is regarded as a symbol of family wealth and status.

Arowana is divided into Chili red dragon, blood red dragon and orange red dragon, and there are grades. The higher the grade, the more expensive the price, with Chili red dragon as the best. The body shape is the same as that of Jinlong and Red-tailed Jinlong. The scales, snout, gill cover, fins and tail of fish are all red to varying degrees. The subdivision is orange, pink, crimson and blood red. The gill cover has obvious erythema.

My dragon is 8 years old and was invited on June 18, 2002. At that time, it was only 15 cm, and now it is more than 60 cm. When I was young, there was no color, so I could hardly choose. Because there are almost no best products, I have to rely on luck if I get the best products. This dragon five became famous on the Internet years ago and was highly praised by experts at home and abroad. Someone once offered me a high price to transfer, and I believe in fate. So it will never be transferred. It has brought me a lot of happiness over the years. Interestingly, one day it came to my house with my dog.
