Beautiful Arowana! Beautiful tank. Where did you get the Aro?

I got her last March from Mike's(he actually still has her pic on his website).

The tank has 10 discus, 3 yo yo loaches, 3 blue botia, 15" tiretrack eel, a clown pleco and an albino bristlenose pleco. I would not recommend mixing discus with a jardini, also the jar will eventually outgrow a 135g.

nice! do the discus ever get harassed by the aro?
amazing pictures

No I have yet to see any aggression, but it's only been a couple days. I have a pair that spawned today and they are chasing the aro away from the eggs.
 
Great and healthy set up, Brian ( even if other than natural coloured Discus are not my cup of tea )....Congrats!
 
Here are the pair that spawned, I will get them into there own tank before their next spawn. The male is the pigeon blood and the female is the turquiose mix. Sorry i can't get a good pic of the eggs, but the are right at the males mouth on the filter intake.
