Hey all - just to let you know, this is mainly to gauge interest. My father and I (who were the main fish keepers in the house) have moved out, and my mother, though she loves the fish dearly, is constantly stressed because they squabble a little with each other. We are considering moving to a new area anyhow, so these guys need to go eventually.... just wanted to thin the herd a little so that things were easier for her.
She's a little slow at catching disagreements between the fish, so they tend to have a few rips in their finnage and such, but nothing major usually. They're eating a mix of frozen and pellets. All are fairly tame and have gotten along with each other for a while.
20" silver arowana - one eye is damaged (blind) and the other is drop-eyed, but he does alright for himself. Does not bother the other fish in his tank usually. Fairly active, still feeds eagerly, but doesn't get you soaked during feeding (just a little splashing).
7-9" green severum and gold sev- green has 1 eye blinded from a fight with the JD. These two have spawned multiple times, and occasionally get breeding colors on, but haven't in the past few months. They're both fat and happy, the gold one is extremely fat. Will not eat fresh veggies, though. Green sev still feeds fine, just a little slower compared to before.
6-8" JD - eats like no other, but not very aggressive for a JD. Fat fat fish, but plenty of color and personality.
All 4 fish in one shot!

I've also got a grow-out tank with 4 severums (3 gold, 1 green) and 2 bala sharks. The 2 big golds have paired off and started spawning fairly regularly, wreaking havoc on the tank.
2 big golds - female and male, roughly 4-5" with tail. Eggs have never fungused (aka, I think they're fertilized) but the raphael cat and bala sharks always get to them eventually. VERY nice color.
1 green - tends to be black-ish most of the time, great color but generally shy. Currently has a number of fin splits, but that's really due to fighting, not anything else.
2 Bala sharks - around 8"
Again, I'm looking for a reasonable offer for these guys, but primarily, a good home. They're very lively and entertaining fish, haha.
