Start by reading through this; http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/f...9584-do-you-want-an-arowana-...then-read-this also keeping arowana in a pair has low odds of success. You will eventually need to upgrade to a tank larger then 180g even for a single silver aro.

Definitely going to need a bigger tank, just for one.

my dad had a pet shop for 20 years and he has all different size tanks even some up to 500 g. but my gf wont let me have a tank of that size.

mine are near 30", possible they could get 3' though not many seen this size in aquariums.
