Hi all, after a long hiatus from the hobby due to moving around and such, I am finally settling down again and starting to think about and plan my next project. I've kept shrimp, apistos, and other smaller types of fish (less than 4"). But recently I've been watching a lot of DIY King's vids on Youtube and his arowana has me thinking about going an entirely different route, and going for one or a pair of larger fish. I know arowana's get big, like upwards of 4ft, and i am not looking for something that big, but something substantial. Unfortunately I'm not as learned in available fish species as others here, so I'm hoping for some help and suggestions to start my research for the following:
1) suggestion for a fish or a pair of fish that would get upwards of 12 to 16" full grown
2) initial tank size consideration is 100 to 150gallons (would this be big enough for the size of fish suggested?) I would have room for approximately 6'x2' tank.
3) freshwater
4) locally available, preferably without breaking the bank. IE. a fish that doesnt cost 1000$.
Any help much appreciated. Thanks.
