Yea the water condition is crucial and is difficult to mimic the water condition

This is the fun or challenging part of breeding, not only aro other fishes as well. There is a member Flash his rtg breed in the tank 2-3 time maybe u can ask him for tips!

I think arowanas are shy creatures. they don't do their business if they don't feel secure. So, a peaceful environment might be helpful. Maybe some black water to darken the environment?

A period of nutritious, heavy feeding to prime the female (like betta breeding).
A period of frequent, large volume water change (to mimic rainy season).
A breeder once told me that males that are too fat can't breed well.

Just shooting what I know.
Good luck.
