if those arowanas get 3' or so long wont that be a crowd? Or will they tolerate each other. I thought they were singular fish, but I dont know cause I have not read up on them. Most tanks I have seen only have one arowana, but I guess that could because of size contraints. Other wise nice tank wish I had one that big.
Arowanas can tolerate each other only if they were raised together.
However, I'm surprised that you have arowanas with other fish... Arowanas aren't that aggressive...don't they get picked on by those aggressive fish?
I think you will need a big big big tank within the next 3 or 4 years :P Silver Arowanas get very big...3' From the way it looks...your arowanas are about or more than 1 year old, right? :) They are very beautiful, and so are your other fish. Very beautiful tank.
Rare Cichlids

Very nice! Did you raise up the Festae and Bleekeri yourself? All three are very big and impressive. Are you planning on adding any other cichlids? With a tank that size (somewhere around 500g) you should be able to add several more cichlids if you wished. Some big Viejas like Synspilum or Zonatum would look excellent. Let us know your plans.

right now i'm not planning to put anymore cichlids...i tried putting my 14" trimac and it kept on chasing the other fish....i'm thinking about putting some black arrows...not sure yet...

Just out of curiosity what kind of filtration do you use on that tank? Did you custom make it or have it made? And what kind of turtle is that in the tank? I had a friend that said he knew someone that had a tank with a red eared slider and a couple of oscars but the oscars killed the turtle.
