if you want to move a big fish like that the best way is get a cooler about three feet long get some heavy duty garbage bags that contractors use to haul building material put the bag into the tank and let the fish swim in then close bag so fish cant get out. put enough water in bag to lift fish out. Put in cooler add more water, do not make bag to tight so if fish jumps bag will not break bag. When you get home take water out of bag so you can add tank water to bag to get fish used to your water. then take enough water out of bag so you can lift into tank, make sure you take water level down so tank does not over flow. once in tank let fish swim out. get oxygen if store has it,take your time adding tank water and put some air stones if you have them good luck Noel
 
the way i would do it is get a large tub about 4 ft long 3 to 4ft wide have a battery powerd air pump and have a blanket or over the top with the edges on the floor weighed down with bricks driving carefully and since the fish is 3ft your gunna need a tank way bigger then the 125 like a 400 8x3x2.5 or a 450 8x3x2 its already way to big for your 125 what is it 18 inches wide and the fish is 2 times that length it wont be able to turn around properly
 
ok guys listen to me ... i live in jordan middle east we DON'T have big tanks my 125 is one of the biggest tanks in the hole kingdom so NO ONE gonna buy this arowana cuz there is no good tanks for it so that the fish store make it price cheap i can't let this arowana gone of my hand it ****ing beautiful and i can house it good
and it can turn around in 15" wide i saw it turning perfectly in the store so it will not have any proplem with my tanks since my tank wild is about 20" so its ok
and to any body who say let it meybe someone can buy it who can house it in bigger tanks .. as i told before there is no bigger tank in my country

so thank you guys i'm gonna buy the half of it price and leave it in the store for ten days so i can fix my 5000leter filter :)

and i will move it in white bag ( a huge white bag )
 
Nobody here is going to be cool with you putting a 3 foot long aro in a 125 gal. tank. It doesn't matter where you are located, a 125 is too small for a fish that big.
 
In that case build an outdoor pond! I believe Jordan is warm enough all year right?
