Hi, first time on this forum

Im designing an outdoor pond (3000+ gallons)
The main fish i had in mind were Asian arowanas and red tailed giant gouramies
Ideally i would like to keep around 3+ of each.
I would also like to add an Indo Tarpon (which are very common in my area) and a Golden Masheer

I would like to ask the well informed people of MFK if this mix would be possible?
(very unsure about masheer in particular)
If so would 3000-5000 gallons suffice, if not how much would be needed?
Any specific things to keep in mind when deigning pond?
And finally what tank mates what you guys suggest in addition/replacement of the tarpon and masheer.?

Bro with a 3-5k tank the only thing you couldn't mix together are different gang members. Depending on your budget I'd get more than 3 aros, add some julliens carp or those that looks like then and a tiger fish lol tarpons are beautiful fish! Good choice! When designing a pond width and length is what I'd focus on then comes the height
