The Silver Arowana is native to the Amazon River in South America. This fish has amazing jumping capabilities and is known to jump out of the water to catch its prey. Because of this, they are sometimes referred to as “monkey fish.” The Sliver Arowana can also be aggressive, particularly with smaller fish.
