You should go ahead and move him to the pond now. Zoo is right. Don't wait for it to settle in and have to start over when you move him. He could hurt himself in that tank.

Nice fish, but it already needs more space. It can touch both sides of the tank.

yes indeed he does not have much space in the tank but i will have to keep him in the tank for at least the next 2 weeks because there is a rtc who is 12 inches in the pond and i dont want him to get eaten. but in 2 weeks time the arapaima will grow at least 2 inches well thats what i have heard:).
so hopefully he will be in the pond after a couple of weeks

Growth rate will be slowed down in a tank that lacks enough room for the fish. 2" in 2 weeks probably won't happen.

My LFS had a small one. It could be fun to have in my 600 gal tank 4 ft by 8 ft.
