Let's visit the 2023 CIPS Global Arowana Championship! Arowana are known as "dragon fish" because of their large shiny scales, long serpent-like body, and whiskers around their mouth. Cory shows us arowana of every color and scale pattern imaginable - including brilliant gold, blood red, and steel blue. Plus, they had other championships going on at the same time, like datnoid tiger fish and aquascaping contests.

What gorgeous specimen! That long finned one looked like it was walking...and it's fins seemed almost transparent.
There really is no question why arowanas are associated with wealth and riches. Absolutely beautiful! I had never heard of long-finned arowanas before.
All I could think of when I saw the title was a larger version of Betta fight club 😂

That long fin is incredibly beautiful but such a noticeable impact to his swimming

You see that a lot with Bettas and Angelfish too, years of selective breeding to get those long beautiful fins. But they end up hurting the fishes ability to swim, especially with old age
It's crazy to think how they move then, from tank to tank, and all their fins were perfect. You'd think the fins would be beat up from moving. They got net skills!

Net and wrap them in the netting so they can't thrash about. Some use towel contraptions.

From the professional side we used specialized bag nets, essentially a giant plastic bag with a small amount of fine rubberized mesh at the end. Super slow movements is key. Bag net into big bag while in the tank. Only way to limit the thrashing.

My grandpa used to own a huge silver dragon fish. When my consin was 3, he wanted to pet the big fish, and then he fell into the huge tank. 🇨🇳❤
My local fish store use to keep one of these in a large circular tank and it was perfect for viewing it.
Never been a fan of long fin fish but the Arowana is definitely 1 that can pull it off , has always been my dream fish to have a high quality dragon if I ever came in to a load of money
Wow! Very impressive 😀 I've never seen so many good looking Arowana! Much appreciated!
Some impressive Arrawana there! Looks a great day! Enjoyed watching
Wow wow wee!! ❤🫶
I was in Guangzhou in 2005. My friends that I stayed with brought me to the aquarium district. I had no idea they were bringing me thier. It was great. Thanks for sharing.
Arowana Super Red From West Kalimantan - Indonesia😍❤️🇮🇩

Wow another good one! Thanks for going all the way to China so we could see this.🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟😎
Those look stunning!!
Amazing video, thanks for posting it.
Thanks for allowing us to see these amazingly beautiful fish
So pretty Arowana 😮😮
Thank you for sharing!
Man I would love to go there and see that in person! Those are the most beautiful fish in the world
Wonder how much your social credit goes up for owning one of these.
I LOVE fish shows. It gives us an idea of the more perfect representatives of type and conformation, and what to strive for in breeding.
so honor to own a couple chilli red in the early 90 as a young teen, had a good friend who own a shop in Cali who took the risk to sell me one. It was like Christmas every weds new exotic shipment. 😁 so heart broken when he sold his shop early 2000. Thank you Mr tong!
That butterfly arowana is the most amazing thing I've seen!
nice thanks for the video
I lived in Taiwan for two years and I miss seeing Arowana all the time. Very cool book called "Dragon Behind the Glass" by Emily Voight. Talks about the infamous Asian Arowana and their origins, thefts, and alure. Highly recommend.
Those long fin ones look like they have painted cheeks. Reminds me of the historic dancers with the long sleeves. Thanks for sharing these gorgeous fish Cory! 🙏🏽💗
Beautiful fish , thanks
AMAZING 😳😲😀👍🏻❤️
Please bring up more from that trip.
That was incredible.
Those are some beautiful fish!

Amazing fish
The red/orange/silver one with fins like a Beta is simply MAGNIFICENT! As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
Wow amazing fish
Wow impressive ❤
On the filters do guys bring there own live media or they just start from new and hope ammonia stays low.?
welcome to china, hope you will enjoy the trip here.
I have a off topic question. Can you grow dwarf hair grass under water? I'm starting a planted tank and in some spots the substrate dips and the water has covered the seeds. It's been 2 days and I hope I haven't screwed up lol
That long fin looked like a giant Beta..
I grew up going to a sweet pet storein San Diego that had large arowanas on display. I worked in the high end aquarium trade for nearly 10 years and never met anyone who had 1 in their tanks. I almost bought 1 a few times but such a big investment in time money and space.
We finally found the last evolution to betta fish. 😂
Amazingly beautiful fishes. Living treasures. Asian arowana have fetched up to $300k at auction.
"Babe there's a cory video again!!"
Wow that was insane. Cory. Especially that last one and textured one, what is that thing at the end of their mouth? And does it work like barbels of a Corydoras? Thanks mate, from Australia.
5star slayer Golden Red Aro.. superb...
amazing arwana super red from indonesia 😍😍

Long fin red dragon... I'm impressed.
Arowanas are so beautiful
wow nice long fin arowana😊😊😊
that dragon is majestic
Like real life pokemon, especially that super long finned guy. Unreal.
woww they're so beautiful arowana...
Wow😮❤
Arowanas are considered the re-incarnation of the dragon. Red for fortune in the home, Gold for success in business, and not sure what the Green is all about!!
The arowana with the very long butterfly like fins - to me its what a betta would look like if it was the size of a large koi. I normally don't care for arowanas since they are high maintenance and take up a lot of space, but for a specimen like that, I'd be tempted to have an arowana tank if I had the money and and space for it.
How did people react to the long fin enteries?
Wow that long Fin Chilli Red really is the closest animal to a Dragon Surely 👀🐉
The long fins are impressive but I also feel bad for the guys, that's so much weight and you can tell moving around takes more out of them than the rest
holy, that looked like an arowana and a betta had a baby.
5:45 beautiful
The security wow
Waw Amazing ,
Another pro of living in Canada for me is I can aquire these lol
If you had a 2.5 by 1.5 by 1.5 ft tank, then what species of fish would you like to add and by what quantity?
I had a silver arowana named Groucho Marx and he'd play "fetch" with a ping pong ball
Super Red Arowana from Indonesia .. Iam Proud in my country
Wooww arwana super red Fromm Indonesia 🙏
Super Red Arowana originally from West Kalimantan, Indonesia
Amazing! It's also funny how us human like animals in the shape or form that would never survive in the wilderness😂
The United States SHOULD REMOVE the restriction on Asian arowanas imports since they are not endangered species anymore!!!
