The End of Asian Arowana Fish Farming in Singapore? Ho Li Tropical Fish Farm
While in Singapore, I had the opportunity to visit the Ho Li Tropical Arowana Fish Farm. For many fish keepers arowana are some of our favorite aquarium fish. They are revered as Dragon Fish in some cultures and a prized pet and one of the most expensive fish in the hobby. The large scales, beautiful colors, their gracefully meandering through the water, and how many will interact with you is some of the reasons for why they are favorites. Asian arowana are significantly smaller than their South American Silver Arowana cousins, but are larger than the not as colorful, but just as amazing, African Arowana. I visited With Gerry Yap and beside feeding me, Thank you again Gerry, he gave me an excellent farm days before the farm was to be closed and the land returned back to the Singapore government. When I left Singapore at the end of 2022, he was uncertain about the future of his and other Asian Arowana fish farming operations on the island.
Gerry Yap gives a tour of Ho Li Tropical Arowana Fish Farm in Singapore, where they breed and export the endangered Asian Arowana species to China, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. The farm has been breeding the arowanas for over 25 years and has gained extensive knowledge about their spawning, behavior, and water quality needs. Arowana fish require clean water and sunlight, so the farm uses outdoor ponds with no artificial filtration, but uses water plants to balance the water quality. The brooders are carefully monitored for reproductive health and the babies are tracked using microchips to comply with regulations. The farm mainly focuses on breeding the arowanas, which is the most difficult part. The tour shows the baby fishes developing colors and discusses their diet and breeding season. The farm’s expertise and practices are regulated by CITES to ensure the safety and conservation of the species
