Hi all bro's and sis. I am new to MFK and i have a qn to ask.
Currently i have a 135 gallon tank (6ft x 2ft x 1.5ft) housing the following fish
1 x 13inch Redtail Flagfish
1 x 9inch orino Pbass
1 x 8inch orino Pbass
1 x 5inch tigershovel nose catfish
1 x 8inch Bagaruis Yarelli Catfish
1 x L95 Pleco

My dad has been skeptical about introducing a asian arowana into the tank unless i can clear some of his qns.
Qn 1: is there enough space for my aro to cohabit with the other fishes?
Qn 2: will there be enough oxygen for all my fishes?

Please help bros! The fate of my aro will lie in your hands =D

This fish has much different care requirements than the other fish in there. Assuming that it is not an indian yarelli (which can sometime tolerate higher temps). It needs cooler and high current waters to thrive.

My bagarius is from Thailand. Btw My tank is hovering at the temperature of 29-31 degree Celsius. Current looks good and its feeding well with MP. Will post some pics soon. =D

There wont be enough space for everything thats already in there in a few months. So adding an aro wont be helping. You would have to upgrade before thinking of adding an aro.
Thank you for your honest comments. Do u mean that there will be no space when my fish starts swimming or there is juz ain't enough oxygen for them?
 
he means most the fish you have will outgrow the tank they are currently in.....

Sounds like you got him in good conditions, you know your bagarius spp. Do you have plans for separating him from the group anytime soon? Would love to see some more pics.
