Are African Arowanas aggresive? What do u feed them, do they eat live food? How big can they get?
 
beef heart is very good for them they will eat anything that will fit in there mouth and if there anything like the silver Arowana BIG
 
It depends on the individual. Overall African Aros are peaceful to fish that aren't Aros. I feed my smaller African Aro black/bloodworm. When my African Aro are 12"+, I feed mealworm/superworm,mp,tilapia,pellets,etc. They can grow over 36". 2"-4" African Aros can be fragile, a lot of people trying keeping them but end up dieing.
 
when people say eats anything that fits in there mouths obviously they never had an afro=african aro. they are filter feeders and at a small size 2-4" i fed mines bloodworms,brine shimp,blackworms,and some guppies he didnt really eat many guppies :(
