You can house it with oscars, datnoids, pacu, various catfishs, flagtails, bichirs, parrots, green terrors, gars, possibly hydrolycus scombroides, paroon sharks, huge plecos, rays, clown loaches, knifefish, some jaguar cichlids, banded leporinus's, kaloi, pbass, giant gourami

I'm sure I missed some but...theres a lot of fish you can house it with (especially if you have a big enough tank)

loh, will it be ok if i put a kaloi together with an arowana?
last time I tried before...... the kaloi attacked my aro till dropped few scales..... partly due to the kaloi was the same length as my aro but with a broader body..... choose a smaller kaloi.....

I think it depend on the individual fish...my already that for few months but no problem except some minor split tail kaloi attack from my Siamese Tiger fish. But only happen one or two times.

maybe also mix them with more fish to spread agrressiveness...but u must see if your tank can accomplish all of them.
Kaloi could growth quite big.

Seems you, as many others have, missed the size of tank.
