Hi, I'm currently have 7" super red arowana, and he's alone. I'm planning to add tank mates for arowana, any suggestions also anyone know the easiest way to clean my aquarium from guppy fish ? I have around 120g tank with 150cm X 60 X 60

Thx

Please keep in mind that your aro will eventually need a bigger tank. At only 120 gallons it will outgrow it very fast. At 7 inches it will easily grow over a foot in about of a year. Thinking about tank mates right now is a good time though since when it’s bigger it may see others are a threat.
 
I had a few Polypterus And Clown loaches with mine. He never messed with them. They where in a 200. Arowana was about 18”.

I will, im planning making 1000g tanks once I'm moving out in 1 or 2 years. Thx for the reminding

I'm also planning building a pond for 3 or 4 pairs of super red arowana..

Depends on the tank size. Generally speaking, any fish that is peaceful/semi-aggressive and too big to fit in the arowanas mouth that is not a surface-dweller (unless it's a really large tank as arowanas hang out at the surface and in a small tank a surface dweller will fight with the arowana)
