Hey everyone,


I’ve recently been focusing more on blue base arowana and wanted to compare notes with others who’ve kept them.


So far I’ve noticed they seem a bit more sensitive to water conditions compared to standard silvers—keeping parameters stable has made a big difference in activity and feeding response.


A few things that have helped me:


  • Slightly over-filtering the tank for better stability
  • Keeping lighting fairly moderate
  • Sticking to consistent water change routines
  • Avoiding sudden changes in diet

I’ve also been looking more into their variations and setups—came across this blue base arowana listing while researching, which gives a decent idea of the type I’m talking about.


Curious—what setups and routines are working best for others keeping this variety?
