How big is the arrowana and what kind is it?

He'll eat anything he can fit in his mouth.

Silver arrowana grow over 30" and need a 700g tank.

Don't forget that Buddha will eat everything that can fit in his mouth, then everything that can't fit in his mouth. I had a client who tried to breed Buttikoferi... The male ended up cooking himself when he attempted to consume the heater, and the female was crushed under rocks that she just couldn't leave alone. They're not really friendly fish, and they don't tolerate any interior decoration to anyone's taste but their own. As for the arowana, I've never been a big fan. Big fish just get so boring in a tank.

I can tell you right now, all of them will get over 30" probably more.
