What specie of Arowana? If a Silver I suggest growing out until atleast the Arowana get to 203.2 mm in length. The Datnoid would need to be comparable in size big enough Arowana couldn't eat it. I personally never kept any other specie of Arowana.
Aquariums over 6 ft are too expensive. I built a pond for $400. I'm saving up to buy a big biberglass tanks with viewing panel for them
Agreed on most points already made,though it will come down to the individual fish and how it views other fish I can recall only hearing of dats and Asian aros not getting along.
Yes, it worked between my Asian arowana and datnoid. Both attacked and claimed territory at the start, but settled after about 2 weeks. I don’t know what kind of arowana you have, depends on both your arowana and datnoid’s temperament.

is correct, why get a datnoid in a pond? It’s not a good fish for pond stocking, no one does it because it would be hard to see the datnoid in the pond, and would be hiding at a corner most the time.

A big enough aquarium would have costed me $1000 approx. I built the pond for $400Yes, it worked between my Asian arowana and datnoid.

I applaud your effort for caring enough to provide proper housing for the Arowana and Datnoid. Large aquariums are expensive and there other members with Arowana in ponds.
