Did you say 520Liters? ok ... that's about 137 gal ... lots of stuff you can do! Sure you'll get tons of suggestions ... oh boy! How about a big Barb Tank!! You would easily double my stock (see below).

Have fun!

I would do a few angelfish and some gouramis and some larger tetras in big groups (not any small ones like neons). I think that that would be pretty cool.

Some nice discus. You could easily fit 5-6 of them comfortably.

If he did puffers it would have to be a species only tank. They don't do well in community tanks.

The only thing about big puffers that would fit in there is that they saltwater and are picky eaters that need snails at least once a week.

You can do a Fahaka. Males get up to 18", females to 14" or so and are pure freswater.

I would also ditch the arowana as he'll surely outgrow that 4ft tank. I would look for a pair of Black Belts or another Vieja species, Jaguars, Dovii, Festae, or Umbee's with a small school of dithers.
