Very cool. Arowana's are so beautiful. Very nice fish! Have you seen the bone tongue yet?

These stay a bit smaller but will still get around 2 feet plus.

Arowannas are very cool but tend to be somewhat aggressive (at least in my experience). I personally love knife fish. I used to keep a black knife in my 90 gallon with my cichlids and it did awesome. Stayed at the top and out of the way of the other fish and so cool to look at!
They are very nice fish, make sure you have a very wide tank for it. They get at least 30" given the proper room.

Those are awesome!
I had one a long time ago. Grew to about 10 inches. I have yet to find another healthy one around here. Each time I see them, they are in really sad shape.
It's a shame too since some of the stores get in really cool fish. One place had one of those "dolphins" in but it was half dead in the tank:mad: .
On a side note, I just finished changing out my Oceanic 72 bowfront in the living room. Took out everything and put in the new 5 piece set of the Penn Plax magic castles. It looks awesome. The centerpiece is 2 sections and is 25 inches long!
I really need to get this camera working and take a picture.:(

Definately! I'd love to see pics; I am a fellow aquaruim/fish pics nerd I guess. Are they made of resin or ceramic?

Re: Baby Black Aro
They are resin.
The kids named the tank fishtown since it looks like a medieval city in there.:D
5 pieces and there is no more room for anything else in the tank.:O
Here is a link showing what they look like for now.
I bought the 2 piece Magic Castle - Super and the 3 piece Enchanted Castles
My friend had those in her store not too long ago (I think they were a bit older than those particular ones, but they were penn-plax.) They sold out in a few weeks! Awesome.. I loved this one they had w/ 2 dragons.
