I have a silver Arowana in 180 gallon by himself, almost 2 feet long. Was looking for a couple tank mates to go with him. Was thinking fire eel.
any recommendations?

I suggest taking cover, since you are about to come under some heavy fire.I have a silver Arowana in 180 gallon by himself, almost 2 feet long. Was looking for a couple tank mates to go with him. Was thinking fire eel.

I suggest you post the tank water parameters first, and some pics of the fish. If esoxlucius is right, then your arowana may be stunted.Upgrading the tank is down the line. He not quite 2 feet yet.
but upgrading is a plan eventually, once I find a deal for a tank. Got the 180 for $150.
The arowana looks healthy enough, but I don't like the fact that it's been eating mealworms exclusively for four years. This has likely deprived it of necessary nutrients, minerals, etc., which might be contributing to its lack of growth. If this continues, not only will your arowana's growth be stunted, but its lifespan may also decrease.Here is a picture of him/her. Had him/her for over 4 years now.
He eats very well, well he only eats mealworms. I’ve tried tons of stuff to feed him And he only eats mealworms. But he does eat.
as far as parameters. There fine. I’ve been keeping fish for over 6 years.
ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
