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.

The king of
freshwater.
An arowana breeding farm in Singapore. Bred, matched and groomed since 2003.
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.
皇宫 — Imperial Palace. The name the farm was founded under in 2003, and the mark still painted on the hangar wall.

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.
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.
The farm, in passing
Neo Tiew, at eye level
The farm, the houses and the fish — Neo Tiew Lane.
What we do
Five ways we work
Everything is bespoke, and everything is priced on consultation — because the fish, the tank and the room are never the same twice.
01
Bespoke arowana
Farm-raised, parents seven years and older, matched to your tank. Priced on consultation.
02
Ponds and custom tanks
We design and build the water the fish will live in, to the room it has to sit in.
03
Grooming and hospitalisation
Pre-handover grooming, and care for sick fish — including fish that did not come from us.
04
Transshipment
Fish moved between countries under farm conditions, handled by people who breed them.
05
Import and export
A registered ornamental fish farm and exporter, shipping to collectors and distributors worldwide.
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.
The trophy cabinet
A Grand Champion in the cabinet.

I would like to thanks Mr Aaron for his patience , explanation, advice and support. As the way Mr Aaron introduced his farm, his Arowana fish in a very good manner and knowledgeable for us to understand how to keep the Arowana in healthy and safer way. As this is my first time to keep arowana fish, since I was young. After the small tour on his farm and introducing we finally decided to go with the red Arowana from him, without any setup in the house. He advice us to go with a simple and economical setup within our budget and he is not like the LFS who will ask u to buy all the good stuff or many things before u can start to keep the fish. We decided to bought everything from him, and he gives us very friendly price for the full setup and fish. I will let the photos to talk by himself.
What a wonderful trip I had yesterday,I was allowed to take some photos together with Imperial Arowana's beautiful arowana, look at how friendly they are, the Arowana greeted me and make my day. Such a memorable experience!

Thanks for the amazing arowana and service. Will be back for more!
Excellent experience with Imperial Arowana. Personalized service, shared valuable and insightful advice, and took the time to answer all my questions. The quality of their fish is outstanding, and their professionalism and passion for the hobby truly stand out. A wonderful customer experience from start to finish. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality arowanas and trustworthy guidance.
My wife and I recently visited this farm looking for an Arowana, and the experience far exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this isn't just a business for the owner—it is a genuine passion. After selecting a stunning, high-quality Arowana, we decided to commission a custom-built tank to ensure our new fish had the best possible environment. Aaron worked closely with us to build a massive 5ft x 2.5ft x 2.5ft setup. The dimensions are perfect for providing the swimming space and depth an Arowana needs to thrive and grow. What truly set this experience apart was the owner’s incredible depth of knowledge. He wasn't just trying to make a sale. He spent a significant amount of time educating my wife and me on the nuances of Arowana care. He shared vital concerns regarding water chemistry, filtration maintenance, and specific feeding habits to ensure our fish stays healthy and vibrant. It is rare to find someone so friendly and willing to share 'insider' tips with hobbyists. If you are looking for a Arowana & got doubts on how or why. Come visit the farm he provides honest, friendly advice, look no further. We left feeling confident and excited to start this journey. A huge thank you aaron for the beautiful fish and the incredible service!
Hands down my My go to place for Arowanas. Aaron really is passionate and helpful throughout every single step along the way from when I arrived to when I left the venue. Takes the time to explain every single aspect, and no regrets heading down in person. The pictures do the fishes no justice…the quality exceeded my expectations and I learnt a lot from his explanations during the tour. Super friendly as well and patiently answered all my questions :D There’s a plethora of details and tricks to learnt when it comes to this hobby ! I definitely will make another trip down here again !!!!!
Imperial Arowana is a must-visit if you’re looking for an Arowana, whether it’s a Red or Golden variety. Aaron is extremely knowledgeable, passionate about his fish, and always willing to share valuable advice on how to properly care for and maintain an Arowana. The fish I purchased from him was healthy and of excellent quality. Highly recommended for both new and experienced Arowana keepers.
First time buying arowanas and received great support and advice from the owner Aaron! Totally recommend a visit to this farm. Super child friendly too.
