What we believe

We understand people before we sell fish.

A fish is not a product here. It is a match — between a bloodline we have raised for years and a tank we have not yet seen. So we begin with the tank, the room and what you are hoping to watch swim in it, and only then do we talk about which of our fish belongs there.

More than selling a fish — providing a fish that suits you.

How a fish is chosen

Nothing here is
sold off a shelf.

Five steps, in this order, every time — the same process we use to export.

01

We begin with your water.

Tank size, the room it sits in, the light it gets, what you expect to see in five years. A fish that outgrows its glass is not a good fish, however beautiful it was in the tank you bought it from.

02

You meet the parents.

You view our breeding stock — the big fish — and see which bloodline speaks to you. Our parent fish are a minimum of seven years old. What you are choosing at this point is not a fish. It is a lineage.

03

We match the generation to the tank.

Size differs across arowana, and generation changes how a fish grows. A three-and-a-half foot tank asking for ultimate blue points to a Sumo F4 — a fish that stays smaller grown. This is the part that cannot be done from a photograph.

04

You choose from the grow-out house.

Your fish comes out of our fibreglass grow-out tanks, where it has lived long enough for us to know it. We groom and condition it before handover — the same preparation a fish gets before it is exported.

05

The fish leaves when it is ready.

There is no same-day carry-home. Your fish is starved and quarantined, and you collect it around three days later, so no bacteria travels into your tank with it. It is the same standard operating procedure we use to ship overseas — we do not lower it because the drive is short.

Selective breeding

Nothing here is left to chance.

01 — The parents

A parent fish is seven years old, at least, before it breeds.

02 — The record

Breeding stock is DNA-verified and carries pedigree records. Bloodline purity is tracked, not assumed.

03 — The pairing

Multi-generation selective breeding. Never random pairing.

04 — The result

Colour and body shape develop naturally, through genetics. Nothing is added to force them.

05 — Grow-out

Fry move to fibreglass, then to the grow-out tanks — groomed and conditioned long before they leave.

Overall, excellent service, beautiful fish, and a very professional team. Highly recommended to anyone who is looking for a quality Arowana. Definitely a 5-star experience! 👍🏻🐉

This is the go to place for Arowana lovers. Mr Aaron is very knowledgeable, and takes time to explain about his arowanas and how to take care of them. He also advise you how to ensure that the water is good for the fish. Really picked up a lot of tips. His place is huge and we had the opportunity to take a look around his farm. He also educated us on what to look out for and the different types of arowana. I also learn that arowanas do not need 3 meals a day. 😂 He is also very patient and answers all your queries. I felt like I was on a learning journey and will definitely come back for more tips. His fish also comes with a cert. Thank you Aaron! We will definitely be back, but this time with our son!
