Pearl Arowana 3.5inch
The Jardini Arowana is commonly known as an Australian Arowana or Pearl Arowana. Down Under in Australia, they are known as the Gulf Saratoga or Northern Saratoga.
They are the closest in appearance to the highly sought after Asian Arowana (which is prohibited in the US). Some have a very vibrant gold coloration, making them sought after much more than any other legal Arowana species here in the US.
