can you keep a pair together in pond ? or will they separate at some point?
example when you get a pair from a pond of arowanas, is it a good idea to separate them and keep them by themselves?

Err... sort of... they practice polyamory. One male will pair with 2-3 females max for life assuming they are restricted in a small pond size for life. If u r thinking albatross flying around the world for life no... but when restricted aros love only a distinct few... the same few in a restricted environment. Females may have 2 or 3 suitors too... like amongst 10-20.
No... they dun keep changing pair... they love only a few.
Yes... they can be kept as pair in pond... even in fish tank.
Yes... they will separate at some point. Not becos of love but becos by necessity... cos procreation waits for no aro. I.e., lover male no.1 already holding lover female no. 2 eggs... so lover female no. 1 goes looking for lover male no. 2 if he's available or is in a condition to starve for 2 months brooding eggs in its mouth. If not lover male no. 2 she goes looking for lover male no. 3. If lover male no. 3 not available how?... She waits... and wun go fking any other male not classified as lover status. Actually the opposite is true... males are always ready... like everything thing else in the animal kingdom... males chase skirts... but in this instance just that 2-3 skirts... not all skirts.
U can keep a pair by itself... pond or tank.
