It hurts to see such a nice fish in such a pretty tank....but its so small!

Read the description....no water change in over a year...

Nice setup he's got going on, tank size is fine for just 1 aro. I wanted to try this but I would guess the results won't be as great with cichlids.

I thought an Aro needs a wider footprint than a 180.....

Well, ideally yes, but the arowana in that video is an Asian arowana, which stays much smaller than say a silver arowana. I don't think anyone would argue it wouldn't be happier in a bigger tank, but it's not quite as bad as you may think if you're thinking of a silver aro's tank size requirements.

No wc in a year look at the amount of plants. I really do not see anything wrong with that tank or fish, looks good to me only 1 fish in the tank.

Though I would add some shrimp to be crawlies in the plants.

Don't know much about aros but he looks pretty happy :/ if he wasn't wouldn't you be able to tell? Beautiful tank in any case
