Secrets to Coloring Your Arowana
Arowana color comes from four things working together: diet (carotenoid-rich foods carried via feeder insects), lighting (a dark background plus side lighting), stable water, and temperament (confident fish color best, so avoid mixed stocking). Consistency over time is what makes the difference.
Favorable Conditions for Arowana Coloration
Good arowana color rests on five pillars: a pure bloodline, stable and clean water, a dark yet well-lit tank with combined top and side lighting, varied and nutritious feeding, and a balance of slow and fast growth. Patience is essential, because coloration is a long, gradual process.

Let your cat adjust to affection gradually and never force kisses.
