Overview

The southern saratoga, also known as the spotted bonytongue, spotted saratoga, or simply saratoga, is a freshwater bony fish native to Australia. It belongs to the subfamily Osteoglossinae, or arowanas, a primitive group of teleosts. Like all arowanas, it is a carnivorous mouthbrooder. Along with the gulf saratoga, the saratoga is also known as the Australian arowana and barramundi, although the latter name is nowadays reserved in Australia for the only distantly related Lates calcarifer.
