haha.. i just want to see their faces when the bugger hits 6ft in the stream....
Just out of curiosity. If I wanted to build an indoor pond that was capable of comfortably holding a couple of full grown arapaimas, how big would you all recommend?
My wife would love to have a large indoor pond/aquarium with arapaimas and RTCs. Obviously I would too, but I want a realistic estimate of what this would entail.

I saw a couple of them in a smallish pond in a Malaysian zoo. There was a sign saying not to reach over and pat them as they will eat your hand! LOL 
I felt a bit sorry for them as the pond wasnt that big and they were huge! Very friendly though - would come over the the edge of the pond and look up through the water at you, I wanted to pat one, but also wanted to keep my hand!!

...yeah I'm sure they were just trying to scare people off from reaching into the pond, but I'm sure they would grab hold and take some skin off! they wre easily big enough to take your arm in their mouth!!

Ok... as they have stiff bodies they need a turning space as long as their length if possible.
hence i would put a width of of at least 8ft and a length of about 16ft at least.
