I just got two small arowanas today. 5-6cm. I`m wondering if arowanas like calm water or do they like a little disturbing water.
 
They like calm water

What kind of arowana??

Where did you get them??

Do they still have the egg sacs attached being so small??

How much??
 
I don't think it matters too much, I have a lot of current in my tank, and my aro does just fine. I acutally find him swimming against the power head a lot of the time.

So I say they do fine in either.
 
Tell us more about your set up, i.e. tank size tank mates etc. What kind of aros. Are you planning on keeping thme both together? As I understand it to keep multiple aros you should have atleast 5 and that will tank a lot of tank space.
 
This is Norway and her everything is expensive. Payed 100$ for two silver arowanas.
They dont have their egg sak on. And they are a little bigger then i said. Between 6-9cm. One is bigger than the other. Today they go with:
-6 siver dollars
-a couple of hundred flag tetra fry. (food for them)
-a 10-12 cm senegal
-1 sailfin pleco also 10-12 cmm
The tank is 540 liter. I know it is going to bee to small when the arroes grow.

I my 200 liter tank i have:
-1 small (5-6 cm) polypterus delhezi
-1 black ghost
-1spottet clarias (5-7 cm) probably getting rid of this one. It is crazy
-1 small sailfin pleco 6-7cm
-and about 20-30 flag tetra fry
 
Wow $100

gud luck with your new babies!
 
kool but your gonna need a way bigger tank 540L is about 145gal so you will need somethin about 300gallons or somethin over 1000Liters
 
be careful keeping them together. they will probably fight as they grow to prove dominance.
My arowanas are both fine with high current.
