max:

1x rtg/xb (red will be to big in the end for the tank)
1 x it/st/pb
1x endy

total 3

This will cover the top, mid and bottom level of tank.

Any more will be a stress...

unless you upgrade to bigger tank in future which is another stress...

I personally feel anything smaller than a 5x2.5x2.5 isn't ideal for any Arowana. Other fishes possible, but not an Aro. They get to about 2' in length on average and the tank should be much larger. Imagine only being able to swim one body length before having to turn around. It's almost cruel. But your choice TS!
