Hi I am planning to acquire an arowana in the next couple of months that will go in my 6x2.5x2 bichir tank. Please vote and explain why? Your inputs are highly appreciated.These are the only aro that I can afford so please dont suggest the big guns. I did not consider jardini because I know at one point they will take over the entire tank. Thank you in advance to all of you! :D
 
Silver will out grow your tank.
 
Rtg, green or yellow tail will be fine in your tank footprint. IMO rtg would be the best bang for the buck IF you take good care of them. 1.5 reds are cheap too if you want to get a red

My vote is for RTG, I personally find a nice RTG to be the most attractive of the Asians species, and i agree tank is too small for a silver arowana,
 
Super reds are great if your willing to invest the effort into making it bright bright red.

then go for the baddest aro that you can afford ... rtg
simple ... rtg simply out shines the others
 
Aside from what everybody's said above about size, SILVERS ARE BORING!

I wouldn't even want one in the US, where they're one of the only options, let alone elsewhere in the world where you can get a real aro that won't suffer from drop eye.
