I want to get an arowana for my tank and need help deciding.
Tank mates will be
1 FRT
1.1 RTGG
5 Dats
Tank Size 210 gal.
Toss up is between a Black or a Leichardti. I don't want a silver,and I believe Jars are too agressive.
I've had a Black Arow b4 but it died a strange death and am not sure if I want to make that investment if the fish will die in 2 yrs. But I really love Blak arows, the only other problem with the Black is that he was very skiddish and hit the top of the tank often.
 
Do you have plans for a larger sized tank? IMO, either of the two species will outgrow your tank. Also the rtgg may be problems for a small arowana.

No,that's it.
The tank is 6' across.
 
Number 1, you'll need a bigger tank. with so many fish already in it plus the large aro, it'll be overcrowded and it can trigger aggression. I would get the Leichardti aro cuz it's the smallest specis of aro and less aggresive one too.
