>48 liters = 12.6 gallons. There is no way to keep an arrowana in that size of a tank. Your friend's arrowana may have been small but that is only because it is a baby. Babies grow up, and in the case of arrowana's that happens quickly.
>If you could tell us the pH of your water we can offer you suggestions for fish that will fit into your tank and be able to stay there long term. Do you plan to get a larger tank anytime soon or is this the only tank you plan to keep? If a larger tank is planned, if you give us an idea of how large that also would help us sort out and offer you some options.
