The Asian arowana (Scleropages formosus) is an ancient, carnivorous freshwater fish native to Southeast Asia. Known as the "dragon fish," it is highly prized in the aquarium trade for its large metallic scales and whisker-like barbels, which resemble the mythological Chinese dragon. It is widely kept in homes and offices as a feng shui symbol of wealth, luck, and prosperity.
Often called the "world's most expensive aquarium fish,"
