That's the fact bro......

The silver arowana (Osteoglossum bicirrhosum),This species is found in the Amazon River basin and in the Rupununi and Oyapock Rivers in South America as well as in still waters in Guyana.

This fish has relatively large scales, a long body, and a tapered tail, with the dorsal and anal fins extending all the way to the small caudal fin, with which they are nearly fused. It can grow to a maximum size of around 1 m (39 inches) in captivity.

AquariumTo keep one of these large fishes, a large enough aquarium is important. The minimum tank size for one adult Silver Arowana is 200 cm (72 inches) x 66 cm (24 inches) x 66 cm (24 inches), or approximately 265 gallons. A young specimen can be kept in a smaller tank, but as it grows a larger tank will be necessary to prevent deformities and to ensure the maximum length and life span of the animal.

Any aquarium housing an arowana should be tightly covered because of these fishes' jumping behavior.
