Im in a problem can anyone help me?

Don't euthanize the fish.... there is nothing wrong with the fish, or the pond, you just want one smaller so you can get an aro, correct? THat's putting your selfish wants in front of the life of your pet.
Just either wait for an aro large enough to live with your current gar; or find someone to take the gars, or don't get an arowana. Shouldn't just go killing your fish whenever you want a new one...

Hello; This.

Hello; Well if you cannot find a new place for the gar you already have then it seems you have little choice but to give up on the idea of having an aro

hello; I did not mean to suggest that you kill the fish to make a place for something else. Over five + decades I have wound up with fish I no longer wanted to keep. My take has been they are my responsibility so I have keep them. As luck would have it these fish seem to live an extra long time but so be it.
I kill fish when they are sick or injured to the point I cannot do anything for them, not because they take up tank space I would like to use in some other way.
I do not re-home fish very much except for grow out fry I have raised. I did re-home a common pleco a few years ago when it got to 14 inches plus. I had to give it to a fish shop for free, but it went to a place where they could deal with fish that size. I simply did not have the tank space at the time.
You brought the fish home. It is your place to keep them. Re-home if you can be sure they will have a decent place to live.

I would just get some bigger aros or section off part of the pond and grow the aros out there
 
Thanks everyone for your ideas especially fishhead i recovered my old small pond using some plastic and cement i sealed the hole its 121 gallon can i keep my arowana there? My arowana will be around 4-6 inch and ill give it back to the fish store from where i bought it when it gets around 12 inch cause i have only had a red arowana before but silvers are kinda different in the structure and are better in leaping than other arowana so i want to have some experience/ can i keep it in a 121 gallon till it gets around 12 or 14 inch i know it grows very fast any thoughts on this guys
