How about a school of fish? Could be Angel or Discus or Scat. Hey, even endlicheri would like to swim around.

My tank right now would be too unstable for discus and angels as well as my current is quite strong. Hrmm

It might sound a bit "crazy". If I have a tank size like that, I would go for 1 or 2 good looking Japanese Koi. A red to match the aro and a black to match the rays.


Something close to this . ( [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sev1xWN-lh8"]YouTube - Arowana Koi 錦鯉 ç´…é¾ é¾Âé­š tank 3[/ame] )

A half a dozen red hook silver dollars schooling together would look nice or a few tinfoil barbs. They make very good dither fish. They are not the most expensive or rare fish but they do look nice (imho).

Silver dollars for sure I use them in my CA cichlid tank toughens them up too so they aren't as sensative.
 
NOT SILVER DOLLARS
they eat the shrimp before it gets to the bottom,
srsly chen a pair of orinos or kelberis is your best bet to compliment the arowana and rays
you need a little green ;)

With this tank size, maybe you could think of getting a flowerhorn or red mammon, but not both.

Hey Chen, If you can find them, a group of scatophagus tetracanthus would look absolutely stunning in your tank.

I'm trying to get my hands on 5 5"+ Black Barred Silver Dollars. Apparently these are hard to get, and perfect size for my tank...going to see if I can find another 5 for a total of 10...will consider Red Hooks....need to start looking for those!
