Arouana are bred in outdoor heated ponds. There diet should consist of a variety of foods such as meal worm or small white frogs which the name eludes me. They can become bored in house tanks and loose their appetite. My dad collects some rare ones that are microchipped he says there easy to keep just do the usual chek water and keep temp as stable as possible. Expensive hobby tho
Sorry, I really don't feel like a pissing contest, but I'm not going to let patently incorrect info go unchallenged either. Scleropages formosus, Asian bonytongue : fisheries, aquariumno im talking about silver arowana's. thats what i had for a long time. ive seen a bunch up close and personnel that are huge. 3 ft is not there max. They will get alot bigger than that if they have the room. and if you don't have a big enough tank they can and have broke the glass. and there have been many asian arowana's that tip the 9 ft scale.
i talked to a friend of mine and he said that you do have a chance of them surviving the cold ( he recommends a heater though) if you slowly (very very very) intertuce them to it.

First Of all sub didnt even say he has one. And this doesnt answer My Question. HOW big will an arowana Get and will It eat all the small fish?The differance is that im not reading it, ive seen it. you can set in your room and find all kinds of articles that prove what you want so your right, as i can find the same. im not going off of what i read.
I have seen many, so i know you are full of crap and yours probally never got big because you just don't raise them right.
