Python and Arowana, tanksmates?

[davo]

is it just me, or does the swimming motion make it look like an aquatic constrictor?
if so, then thats not nearly as bad if its an elephant trunk, or something.

The "file" snakes have quite a distinctive head shape, and I did look at that, but it resembles a python or boa more than these species. I did wonder to myself if it was an aussie water python (looks to have a yellowish belly) but to be honest the video is pretty crap quality.

Yesterday I was thinking about that, but even they need a large land area to dry, bask and hide

Oh yeah, definately, they need to dry off completely. It would be the same as keeping an anaconda in an aquarium full of water.

Yes they are (although I'm not sure if the elephants need drying off), but like I said in an earlier post, it doesn't have the distinctive head shape of the elephant trunk snakes.
