14″ Jumbo Red Arowana
From BrotheRED Arwana, “Mr. Dedi,” Jakarta, Indonesia
The Jumbo Red Arowana is a rare, selectively bred variant of the Scleropages formosus that stands out for its unusually thick, chubby body structure and its ability to grow into an exceptionally large, powerful adult. While standard Red Arowanas are already prized, the Jumbo line is even more exclusive—recognized by collectors for its massive frame, exaggerated proportions, and commanding presence as it matures. This morph represents both rarity and grandeur within the worldwide aquarium hobby.

Chubby, full-bodied frame: Unlike the more streamlined Super Red, the Jumbo Red displays a rounder, thicker belly line and a deep, wide midsection even as a juvenile.

Broad, muscular build: The shoulders and upper body are noticeably wider, giving the fish a powerfully built silhouette that stands out even at smaller sizes.

Large head with strong jaw structure: Often with a slightly bulkier head than regular Reds, adding to its beefy, heavyweight profile.

Rapid growth rate: Jumbos typically grow faster and broader than standard lines, reaching impressive size milestones within their first year.

Giant adult size: When fully mature, many Jumbo Red Arowanas achieve exceptionally large lengths and body mass, giving them an almost “dragon-like” presence in large aquaria.

Thick, uniform scales: The scales tend to be larger and heavier, contributing to the fish’s robust and monumental look.
