I dont know a lot about arowanas. i am looking for a tank mate to go with my redtail catfish (RTC). Do they grow fast enough to be put with a RTC? Any certain arowana better than the others to be with a RTC? I like the look of the red arowana. Could they be put with a RTC? How hard are they to find and how much do they cost?

Work together, Yes. Depending the size differences. The arowana shouldn't be able to fit in the catfish mouth to keep him safe. Roughly on who grows faster, the RTC will outgrow the arowana. Think about getting a arowana maybe x2 the RTC size.
Hope this helps.

Blacks arowana can range anywhere from $100+ Depending on their size. Silvers are roughly around $20 for a juvi, and are usually cheaper when they are bigger. Jardini are around $50+ for a juvi and a little more for bigger ones. If you want an arowana, I recomand reading the Arowana Forum. There are lots of stickies there to help you out.
GL on the fish! Hope you get an arowana too! They are really cool fish and one of the top fish that I think has the coolest personalities. I really enjoy having my 17"-18" Jardini giving me company even though he is a handful and a PAIN is the *** to feed. 
go with a jar. blacks are not as agressive and remember if the aro can fit or mostly fit in the rtc's mouth its goin in.
