What kind of cichlid would you choose for a 180 gallon tank?

If you get one of the smaller arowanas, I think you could. Off the top of my head (I am not a big arowana guy), I think asian arowanas stays smaller than the silver and black. At least the one of the petstore has stopped growing much sooner than the silver.
While it is true that Mr. McEwan has recommended that all but the Arapaima be kept in a 125 or 135 minimum, that is for a solitary fish...and they don't take too kindly to tankmates that don't spend almost all of their time on the bottom...the Oscars would likely be dispatched.
Sorry, Michael McEwan is the man in charge of this site (Screen Name: Michael) and an Arapaima is the largest of the Arowanas. It can grow to be 150" long.
the longest anything under 180 gallon's can get is 6 ft. im pretty sure. That isn't long enough for an arowana that can reach 6 or 7 feet at least!!! speaking of which one of my lfs has an arowana juvie............. in a 10 gallon
an arowana in a 10g???
you should slap them, does the arowana still have the yolk sack still attached?

yep sure does lol, is it normal for it to look like a fish hanging out of its mouth just not out of the mouth haha more like out of its chin
just not out of the mouth haha more like out of its chinThat's normal...for a yolk sac. They have a high rate of infection when they have the yolk sac post-collection, especially directly pre-sale...
