baby arowana
my gf got me a baby black arowana for 2 bucks from a friend i can tell by the black stripe on it that its a black arowana and my boss who is the best willingly let me use 1 tank to keep him in at the pet store i work at ..he still has his yolk sac which is almost gone but i have a 4inch shovel nose and he is currently 2 and a half inches would it be ok to keep them together once his yolk is all gone
How big is the shovelnose's mouth and is he eating live foods?

Might be wiser to let him grow on a bit first.

exposed yolk is a problem with fish like tetras, barbs and maybe loaches- things that will pick at it. They are also very delicate at this stage re: water quality, getting startled etc... The cat is a different problem. If he finds it he will swallow it. I don't advise trusting the cat.
Is it a tiger shovel or a black/white "duck-bill" type?

Duck-bill cat. Max-size is about as foot. Put it in the 55 before it makes a meal of your arawana. Put it back into the 300 once they are about the same size- 6 to 8 months.
NB: with south american arawana, use a lot of floating live foods (crickets, froglets and cockroaches) as they sometimes develop a drooping-eye condition from always looking down for food in deep tanks. Also have floating plants to generate a surface-oriented habitat.
