if you're saying the largest in the arowana family then the Arapaima is the largest, Jardini is the smallest among the other Asian arowana.

Jardini is australian, not asian.

The video shows a huge arowana, it has not been measured(just listen to the narative) so it's not even confirmed 4 footer let alone the "a lot of bull on the internet" four and a half foot that you are spewing

Jardini are legal in the US while Asians unfortunately are illegal. 😫

Not intended to confuse the issue but, the smallest Osteoglossiformes species is Pantodon buchholzi; the African Butterfly fish. Excellent "dwarf" aro for smaller accomodations.

They're available at 1" to about 2 1/2". They're likely to wind up on a gar's menu.

Yes they are bonytongues. Cousins of the arowana, as Phil said.

They are not suited to cope with gars. They are skittish, nervois, and like a quiet environment. If you go their route, they should be the only surface feeders in that tank.
