i just purchased a baby jardini arowana and was looking into how big of a tank i will be needing in the future since i know they grow fast. i had to sell my silver arowana when it got around 2 feet long. i hear jardini's dont get as big but wasnt sure what size tank i will need in a year or 2.

6x2x2 is the commonly accepted minimum. The larger problem with Jars is that they are very aggressive towards tankmates.
Realistically, as it's probably gonna be a single fish, most people would by a 6x2 500.00 standard tank as opposed to a 1800.00 6x3 tank.

I think you're a fool who has never kept an arowana.
A standard 180g will do for a long time, but as the fish gets close to 24" you'll be wishing it was a bit wider. If you spend the extra cash and get the 6" extra width of a 220g (6' long, 30" wide, 24" high) I think you'll be set for life, IMO.
In all retrospect if you don't have an arrow in a 500 gallon tank he won't live his full life span anyway.
An arrow? 
an arrow is something you shoot with a bow
A 135g? Most I've seen have a footprint of 72" x 18", while the length would be fine for up to a 24" aro, the 18" width is way to narrow for a 24" arowana, especially the less flexible jardini
Oh please, provide some info that would give your statement some merit?
