I got a good deal on a 220 tank stand glass top filter everything for 500. I was wanting to get an arowana. How many can I put in there and what other tank mates? I'm pretty sure my lfs can get silvers and jar. Any help would be appreciated.

You can do a jar tank with that, it will most likley be a solo tank. IMo would be a total waste of a 220 just for a jar. You wont be able to keep a silver/black in there for life. Since your tank is only 2ft wide you would comfortably be able to house him in the 220 till he/shes about 2ft. Otherwise great pickup on the 220g.
go for a community of about 4-5 silvers that will keep them for about 1-2 years depending on growth.
if you chose a jar, get one and watch it grow while you spoil it with food. i do not have experience with community jar tanks.

Bad idea, in less then 2 years all the aros would be at least 24" no matter what size you started with. This would be a disaster, I kept just two silvers in a 72x24" until they were 26". There is no way 4-5 would work.
