    What size tank? If it is 55 or smaller, probably no one but him. These fish get huge and will eat anything that fit in their mouth.

    Bottom dwellers are the match . The Arrowana will ride high always so any cat will work great of course tank size and parameters matching .

    Did you see the episode on River Monsters? He caught a huge one. I would agree cats will be the way to go, the arrow's will always stay on top.

    I kept an arowana for a while until he jumped out. They are easy to take care of. They eat everything, I mean EVERYTHING that can fit in it's mouth, including your finger btw. They are super cool to look at and grow super fast. By far, my favorite fish to keep, be sure to keep a canopy on at all times or they will jump out. Ideal water temp is 75-82 is what I'm told and they like any water as long as it's clean. Oh and Chinese superstition is that arowana ward off evil spirits so no ghosts in your house too!
