Make sure you cycle you tank properly before you add the arowana. Clown loaches are fine if your aro is not a massive one yet.
CLs grow slowly but they are very fast. I have 6 in with my RTG.
I'm not sure about canister filters, i use a wet and dry. power heads are ok if your fish is big enough to be able to swim in the current or away from any suction there may be.

space is a terrible constraint!

space is a terrible constraint!they are the second to cheapest aro you can get in terms of colour intensity, i have one,
in my country they cost new zealand dollars 1800 retail, i got mine for 900 but still expensive, but cheap in our standard.
they can get a nice red colour, when they are 12 inch plus, they develop reddish tail and scales. some say they dont, but thats probably cos they dont look after them like a high grade.
but feeding mealworms, shrimps and really high colour enhaancing pellets, they do develop a nice colour.
but never red like the high grades.
i put a nice light on mine, i tanned it, but can only do so much.
most of it is food and genes.
here is a pic of mine.
i think its nice but if its not much more, buy a higher grade. if this is your first one.
perhaps a cheaper one is a good idea!!
in my country, we dont get gars, if i could, i would have them
