Hey I want to get an Arowana setup started but I have never kept them before so what are the recommended tank dimensions, filtration equipment, substrate and decor requiremnts, etc. Basically everything I need to know to get started!
:asianarow
 
What species you looking at? South American arowana will eventually need a 300 plus gallon tank with an 8' x 3' footprint. Austrialian aros can be kept in smaller tanks around 200 gallons.
 
Asian arowana are illegal within these United States.

I personally wouldn't recommend aro's with snakeheads... There aren't alot of fish that can live with a snakehead and survive unless you had a massive tank :headshake Just my 2 cents...
