Arowana
I recently decided to add a new fish to my 120 gallon tank. I wanted something different as all I have are cichlids. Not knowing where to start, I went to a great fish and reef store and questioned the man helping me find the perfect fish. He suggested the Arowana. He is a beautiful fish, different in body and color and he conquers the top of the tank. At 8 inches long, the perfect size and fit for my tank. Little did I know and I would love to smack the sales person who helped me with this one, Arowanas can grow to be six feet long. As an adult he needs to be in a 250 gallon tank and even that is a tight fit. For now I love him but I will have to go up in tank size within two years. Something I always wanted to do and now the perfect excuse. Tune in for photos of my new addition.

Carefully keeping an Arowana in community tank. They are not suppose to eat stuff at bottom. Because I was told that if this become a habit they might get this illness called "eye drop". check Google for more details.
