aros grgow to 3-4 feet in lenght and a single one should be housed in a 240 gallon tank. if your thinking of a pair you should have at least a 350 gallon tank. as for tankmates any large semi aggressive cichlid can be used. just make sure that they(tankmates) cant fit into the aros mouth

Arrowana are amazing fish. These guys can jump clean out of the water and grab prey from tree branches. I can't even imagine keeping one in my 300 gallon tank, and this measures 8 x 2.5 x 2.5.

to be fair to a fish that size I think you will be better off with a pond. Heated i may add,3 to 4ft is the size of a large Kio. I love Kio but would never keep in a tank anless very small.
