The Super Red Arowana (often called the Chili Red or Blood Red Arowana) is widely considered the crown jewel of the Asian Arowana ($Scleropages\ formosus$) family. Deeply rooted in Asian culture as the ultimate living "Feng Shui" dragon fish, it is highly coveted for its fiery red coloration and is believed to bring immense wealth, power, and protection to its owner.
How to Bring Out the Best Red Coloration
Unlike Golden Arowanas, which benefit from bright environments, getting a Super Red to pop requires specific environmental tweaking:
-
Black Backgrounds: Keeping a Super Red in a tank with a matte black background and a dark substrate forces the fish to darken its pigment, making the red scales appear much deeper and more contrasting.
-
Tanning Lights: Dedicated hobbyists use specialized submersible LED lights (often in the UVA/UVB spectrum or specific pink/red spectrums) to mimic natural sunlight. This triggers the fish's natural melanin and color production—a process known as "tanning."
-
Color-Enhancing Diet: Feeding a diet rich in carotenoids and astaxanthin is vital. Excellent choices include market shrimp (with shells on), krill, crickets, and high-end specialized color pellets.
