Ok, i think the african is out since they feed on plankton (not convenient), and so is the leichardti since i have never seen one for sale. I know that the jardini, silver, and black should been fine except the jardini would have to be by itself. I'm leaning towards a silver or a jardini since it seems the black looks extremely similar to the silver as an adult (although the babies look awesome). Any ideas on dimensions for the pond?

This is going to sound crazy, but is it possible to keep arowana in an outdoor pond in PA? I found record of them being caught in ponds here, and I wondered what the odds were of such a feat succeeding?

Any ideas pertaining to my above 2 posts?

So... think this could work?

I'm starting to reconsider this endeavor... I think I'll focus on getting gar for my big outdoor pond for the moment, maybe put this off for the future.
