Asian Arowana (Scleropages Formosus) is commonly known as the Dragon Fish and they are
in demand among Chinese everywhere. They often see it as a symbol of luck,
wealth, and prosperity and believe that if they treat the fish well, it will
protect them against evil spirits and unpleasant events |
Part of the popularity of the Dragon Fish lies in its close
resemblance to the Chinese ancient dragon. It is considered one of the
best "Feng Shui"
fishes around. Feng Shui is
the art of geomancy, which seeks to harmonise living
with one's natural and overall environment. It is believed that auspicious
fishes such as the Dragon Fish, introduce the beneficial life-giving 'YANG'
energy to water. |
On the
other hand, their close relatives, pearl Arowana (Scleropages Jardini) and the
spotted Arowana (Scleropages
Leichardti) from Australia and New Guinea, are not
endangered, and hence, more affordable. Among the cheapest varieties of all
however, are their distant relatives, the silver Arowana
(Osteoglossum Bicirrhosum)
and the black Arowana (Osteoglossum
Ferreirai) from South America.
These are more commonly found in the wild. |
