The tank looks great but where are the fish? What kind of arowana do you want? I guess living in australia a jardini would be the obvious choice. A silver aro would outgrow that tank eventually but they are beautiful, peaceful fish.
 
thanks everyone my peacocks hide a lot i only got them a few days a go
i want to get a silver there around $300 over here , i know i will have to get a bigger tank i want a 8x3 or an 8x4 one day

will the 3 mono be right in this tank for life??????????
 
Hey Stu how you goin?
I like your setup.
How ridiculously priced are arowanas here yeh!! Its crap.
 
If the mono's reach 24" the 6x2x2 will be a bit small. An 8x3x2 would be good for them, that's what I want to get. I would get a silver aro even if they are expensive. Here's a pic of my aro.

I would dump the Sailfins and the Loaches ;)

Your Cichla should be fine for at very least 2 years ;) That should put them around 14-17" or 36-45 centimeters.. at that size you will have already been wanting a larger tank for a while!! :D

Oh and on the arowana how is the tank covered? As they jump! ;)
 
lookin awesome stu, good to see another aussie on this forum!!! great tank n inhabitants...any close ups of ur cichla?? and join in on the aussie chat in the lounge 'Aussie members'
