i wanted to ask you guys something that can a arowana and koi live together peacefully, along with a pleco and catfish. there is a guy on you tube his channel is called "myaquaticdiary". he has these large paroon sharks, arowanas, redtailedcatfish and koi living together peacefully. but the question can i keep them together or no. i also want to keep silver dollars and some catfish.
thankyou
 
This fellow on YouTube that you mention sounds like a member here and if you have the size of pond that he has then yes they can be kept together.
 
I would be hesitant because arowana and koi require different temperatures. While there is some overlap you could not give both species ideal temperature ranges because it is tropical vs coldwater species. You would have to keep koi to the hard part of the warm water end and arowana to the cold spectrum, and neither is ideal for long term care.
