Arowana Aquarium size question

[Akechii]

So. I recently got into arowanas. And i started researching aquarium sized. However i live in an area without alot of aquarium activity, Like Theres some 50 ish gallons, But no big ones
But anyways, My question is.
Could an arowana fit in a 185gal tank? (You post sizes since i might just build one myself) Thanks in advance

A 185 would last but not only 12-18 months size is more important than depth with arowana so sizes are as followed
Asian arowana (6x3x2 ft) L,W,H
Jardini arowana (same as above)
Silver arowana (8x4x2ft) minimum for adults L,W,H
Black arowana (same as above)
African arowana (6x4x2ft) L,W,H

Alright thanks. So these are "Lifetime" aquarium sizes or?
And if i'm not wrong the asian arowana tank would be 269 gallons? I'll try to find the needed materials

It's optional I would advise against gravel as it'd sharp edges can scratch the scales if it freaks out also don't add sharp wood or rocks there is always a chance it can injure itself but fine sand is fine and a few plants
