Silver Arowana with Egg Sac

The Silver Arowana with an egg sac requires delicate and careful management to ensure the health of both the parent and developing fry. During this stage, the male typically carries the eggs or fry in his mouth for protection, a process known as mouthbrooding. It’s crucial to keep the environment calm and stress-free — avoid sudden movements, loud noises, or tank disturbances. Maintain pristine water conditions and excellent filtration with gentle flow. The male should not be fed excessively while brooding, as this can cause him to release or swallow the eggs prematurely. Once the fry are free-swimming and the egg sacs are absorbed, they can be gently separated into a nursery tank and offered small live foods like baby brine shrimp or microworms. With patience and stability, both the parent and young Arowanas can thrive through this critical stage.
