if you done your homework, then you don't need help..........naw j/j...welcome to MFK.
It all depends on the size you get him, thats when we can help you.

put a lid on it.

no seriously, you'll need a big lid.
and a rock.

agreed
I'm no expert in raising aros, there is some guys and girls here that raise some gorgeous aros.
You'll find people raising silvers (like me), blacks, asians, jars, leis and african too.
But, be advised, make sure your tank had an lid and, depending on the aro size, a good weight on it. like said by ar0wan, a rock works.

And welcome to be another arowana lover.

just make sure the top is covered and if so make sure its really heavy, as they get bigger they can still jump and push open top.

i agree with having a weighted lid. i've had about 3 of my aros jump out of my tanks and lost 2 out of the 3 that way are you picking up a silver or jardini? what size are you thinking of picking up? good luck man.

Good luck with it. I have found mine to quickly have become one of my favorites. Clean water, plenty of space and varied diet. And just in case no one mentioned it, keep a lid on it.
