make it 65 gallon

The 65 would be ok for only 1 Oscar alone please pass on the Arowana it will outgrow the 65 in about 3 months maybe even sooner. Also please read some of the threads on maintaining a Silver Arowana.

nah, arowanas grow very fast, and you will be surprised at how difficult it is to find a home for a large arowana. Agreed with tlindsey, not a good idea. I'd just get fish that can live in your tank size

yah but my friend already got him like its better to be in a 180 then in a small tank or if someone buys him and puts him in a 55 gallon

It's a tough situation, you are right that a 180 is better than a 55, but it's also possible somebody could buy it and put it in a properly sized aquarium. I really wish LFS's would just stop selling them tbh. Should have to order one online if you really want it, the shipping cost i'm sure would deter most irresponsible keepers.
