Dear Seniors,

Should arowana tank have a wavemaker? Please share your experience. Current arowana is 8" long.

Bro, no offence.

A 20-gallon tank is insufficient to house a 8" aro.

Never liked wave makers. ... unnatural plus aros don't need strong current.

One Arowana in a small tank with wavemaker... you small fish is going to spin around the tank non stop.

get the biggest tank you can afford for an aro.

I personally like using wavemaker to break the surface for oxygen exchange.

Bro, you are making wise decision here.

Before your aro' 's growth could be hampered by the limited space.
