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.

You will find that this aquatic creature is medium-sized, which means those looking to catch the Arowana will need to focus on medium shadow sizes when fishing in the sea. This particular creature is worth a total of 10,000 Bells if sold to Tom Nook and 15,000 Bells if sold to CJ, so players can acquire a large amount of Bells if they gather and sell one of these creatures. 

There is no doubt that players can reap some benefits by taking the time to search out and catch these fish in the rivers on their island.
