I been arguing with some stupid asses in a fishforum here in Norway.
They have a fishbase that's full of crap :swear:

They claim that a Aro is not suitable for home aquariums, and they say that the Aro minimum
need a tank of 4 meters - thats 13,12 feet :screwy:
They also say that the tank must be min. 5000 liters - 1321 gallons...

I have told them thats bull****, but they refuse to change the info in their fishbase.

Look here:

Dude, these are what we call fish snobs. They are people who think that anything that they don't care for is stupid or impractical. They think you should have bought a Mercedes Benz even though you could only afford a Honda Accord. Thats why I came here.

Why let it bother you? Is it really worth it? Some people also think that a 55g is enough to keep an aro for life. Does this make them correct? HELL NO.
Everyone has a diffrent way of looking at things. So IMO there is no reason to get all nuts.
Just say "I know better" and move on.:D

That's why I picked this site. I lurked on a bunch of other forums but didn't like a lot of the attitudes, so I decided to become active on this site.

But yeah, I don't think an aro needs that long of a tank, and definately not that many gallons.

not right about 13' as a minimum. :screwy:

how many of us have the luxury to get such a big tank? anyway or aros are doing fine in our current tank.

It isn't the minimum, but I wouldn't mind having a tank that big for my aros... hehe 13' that would rock!
