Players will find that the Arowana will spawn in rivers, so those interested in obtaining this aquatic creature will need to visit the rivers on their island or someone else’s island. However, players can not find these creatures in a river at any time of the year. The Arowana will spawn in the sea between June and September in the Northern Hemisphere. Animal Crossing: New Horizons players in the Southern Hemisphere will be able to encounter and catch the Arowana between December to March.
It is also important to note that this creature will not spawn at any time of the day. Players can encounter and catch the Arowana between 4 PM and 9 AM. This spawning schedule means that players will have to set aside some dedicated time between 4 PM and 9 AM if they want to have a chance at catching one of these critters in the sea.
