I am mainly curious to know if you can breed the arowana in the aquarium? I haven't really done any research which is why im posting this. I have been interested in the ones on jeff rapps stock list and was wondering if breeding is possible. I have no idea what species they are but they are pretty nice looking. Try to wonder if i should get a few of them but if it's not possible to breed them i would probably only get one if any. I just like to try to breed stuff i havent bred before.

Depends on your definition of "aquarium" I guess. Provide enough space for a large group of adults with the right conditions and it should be possible...
What variety are the ones on jeff rapps list? They are $500 ea. I was think of getting 4 or 5 if he had that many. I can basically build whatever size tank i would need for them. Would an aquarium in the 4k -8k gallon size be big enough for 4 or 5 of them? Thanks for the help.
What did Rapps say they were? Seems looking there makes more sense then asking us.

Red Spotted Australian arowana - i just did some research. 3' max length and mostly under that for adults in aquaria. 680 litres for one. Not sure what the conversion is to gallons but im assuming a 4k gallon tank could support 4 to 5 adults as a species only tank?
What did Google say? Did you happen to catch the latin name? That might help you find more information.
It is extremely hard to do with anything other then Asians. Good luck getting leis to spawn. You can find them cheaper then that. Those are spendy. You'll have a hard time getting them to be in a group much less spawn. Don't get a group with the intentions of spawning them only. Get a group to have a group of aros. Spawning is a very very very side affect of the group. Most groups will never spawn and it will take years to figure that out.

Yeah i did some more reading and if i was going to get a group to have i would need 6-10 due to aggression. I am going a different direction. Maybe just get a black to have.
I don't necessarily disagree, but I'd like to know what you're basing that statement on. I've never even heard of anyone non-commercial making a serious attempt to captive breed any arowana species in a set up like the OP is proposing, though I've often dreamed of trying it with a group of blacks.
I can't see why Asian Scleropages species would be easier to breed than their Australian cousins, but I'm far from being an expert on the subject.
