How long can a golden arowana live in captivity?

A golden arowana typically lives 10 to 18 years, with the actual lifespan depending on its living environment and care. Captive golden arowanas generally live more than 10 years.

To keep a golden arowana healthy, the owner should strengthen its management by providing a sufficiently large living space and enough food to ensure balanced nutrition. During keeping, the owner should also maintain good water quality and stable water temperatures, avoiding large fluctuations that could affect the fish’s health.
