Dear all Mfkers I would appreciate all the info/ideas I can get from everyone that is willing !!!
In the future im looking to possibly moving out of the country haven't decited yet and had a few questions.
I would love to get a Red tail gold arowana and wondering what is the best size tank and best filtration setup and tank mates if possible,I do plan on starting all fish small to grow together.
Again I would appreciate all info and advice and would love to see pics of your setup if possible:)
 
The best tank size for a Asian Arowana for life would probably be 8' x 3' x 3'. Bigger is always better. If you're going to move out the country, try your luck with a XB(Crossback). Get it from a reputable farm. Honestly, if you're new to Asian Aro's, you should start off with a Green. They're also known as the most aggressive of the Asians. RTG's don't compare to XB's tbh, but that's just my opinion. SR's, IMO require the most work/patience. It will take a good couple years of aging, proper diet and tanning for it to really show it's greatest potential. Good luck with whatever you choose.

Actually 6'x2.5'x2' is good for life for an Asian Aro. Aro aggression varies. Some xb/rtg/red/green are super aggressive

That size is minimum for life but like Tony said bigger is better. TBH Tony, the size you posted would be good for African Aro/South American Aros for life as minimum.
