We got an arrowana yesterday 
My evil fish ate the snakehead we got (banned in usa because its so nasty ) so we got a replacement. Its in the small tank till he gets big enough to go in with the bad boys.
Im going to need about 3 8ft tanks when they all get big tho

They are scary looking feckers Eat EVERYTHING 
Dont put it in a tank with anything else that swims around below it, they get "droopy eye" & their eyes kind of get stuck in the looking down position
