Albino Silver Arowana (Osteoglossum bicirrhosum)

Elegant, and Captivating – A True Centerpiece for Serious Aquarists

The Albino Silver Arowana is a stunning and albino variation of the classic Silver Arowana, prized for its pearlescent white-gold body, pinkish eyes, and ethereal presence in large freshwater aquariums. Native to the Amazon River Basin, this surface-dwelling predator combines prehistoric beauty with graceful movement, making it one of the most sought-after exotic fish in the hobby.

Growing up to 36 inches in length, the Albino Silver Arowana requires a very large tank (minimum 250–300 gallons), and is best kept by experienced aquarists familiar with the needs of large, carnivorous fish. Like its standard counterpart, it is an agile jumper and needs a tight-fitting, secure lid.

Care Notes:

Due to its size and unique appearance, the Albino Silver Arowana is a rare and high-value fish, ideal for large show tanks or indoor ponds. It thrives in clean, well-oxygenated water with minimal stress and should only be kept with other large, peaceful or semi-aggressive tankmates. Its albino coloration makes it more sensitive to light, so subdued lighting is recommended to reduce stress and maintain color vibrancy.
