Red arowana, scientific name Scleropages formosus, English name Red Arowana, body length up to 80 - 90 cm, mainly found in the rivers of Summatra and Kalimantan in Indonesia. It could not be artificially reproduced and was on the verge of extinction. It was listed as a Class A protected animal under the Washington Convention and was extremely precious.

Arowana belonged to the ancient fish family of the bone tongue fish. They had weak reproductive ability. The female laid eggs, and the male hatched and raised them in their mouths. The two whiskers on its mouth, the large shiny scales, and its ancient origin made people associate it with dragons and call it "Arowana". In Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and overseas Chinese, Arowana were regarded as divine fish, which could make the family prosperous and ward off evil spirits. Arowana were on the verge of extinction and were listed as Class A protected animals by the Washington Convention on the Protection of Wild Animals in 1980. In Hong Kong, Taiwan, and overseas, the price of an Arowana exceeded one million yuan. It was a symbol of family wealth and status.

Red Arowana species included chili red dragons, blood red dragons, and orange red dragons. The Chili Red Dragon was extremely bright red in color. Its scales, gills, and fins were bright and pure red. There were not many of them, and they were considered top-grade. The Blood Red Dragon was red all over, but its body color was not as bright as the Chili Red Dragon. The gills were not as obvious as the Chili Red Dragon. The Orange Red Dragon's body color was almost orange, and its fins were a faint orange. Some of its tails were orange, while others were colorless.

When choosing a red arowana, the following key points should be grasped: Looking at the shape, it is best to have a streamlined spine that is not bent and crooked, swimming aggressively and flexibly; Looking at the scales, it should be neat, flat, bright, full in color without dark spots and no melting of scales, and the scales should not be deformed; Looking at the opercula, it should be bright and tight, breathing smoothly without turning out, and the whole body texture should be smooth, arranged neatly and colorful; Looking at the fish whiskers, the length should be the same and there should be no bruises or damage; Looking at the fish eyes, it should be large and flexible, without white haze; The fish's mouth was usually tightly closed and its teeth were complete, without any ground cover; Looking at the fish's body, the fish's abdomen was not severely sunken, and the abdominal fins, pectorals, caudal fins, and buttocks were not damaged or red spots, and they were swinging and expanding freely. At the same time, it is best to choose fish 15 - 30 days after the fish merchant enters the fish. When choosing fish, please turn off the lights to prevent the red lights from interfering with the judgment of the fish.

Red Arowana had the function of bringing prosperity to the family in Feng Shui. It represented the Martial Saint Guan Yu and had a strong evil aura. It was not suitable for the elderly to raise it in their homes.
