Better do some quick heavy researching. These fish are filter feeders and are very had to raise. There have been quite a few experienced aquarist here on MFK that have fail attempts at trying to raise these fish.

How much did you pay for 1-2 inch african arowana/black arowana? And what does it mean by filter feeding? Small size food?

an african is not a black. two different species.
