Arowana tragedy - unbelievable leap

[BlackShark11k]

I kind of call BS that your Aro is a 23". In 15 months, no way could a 2" Silver Aro grow to 23" in a 55g. It looks much smaller than 23", Around 16-18".

x2, that aro isn't 23". lets do the math kids! those are 12" tiles (4 tiles make up length of the 48" 55g), and the aro looks to barely make up the length of 1 and 1/2 tiles. That aro is 18" at most.

He has the 300 now. But he really should've had it a while ago.

Love the tile. I would have rotated them 45 degrees. Oh, yeah, tank too small. Those lids would need locks on them. They could never stop a 23 inch aro.

Or some weight on the lids. I cant sleep at night withouth weights on my lids.

the fish was only around 18" and it better he has it now than never having it at all

Yeah, the fish was 18", now lets finish the other part of the statement; the tank was only 12" wide. He should've had a bigger tank ready when the aro was 12" or less.

Sorry to see that you ignored the warnings and did nothing to secure the top.

Bderick67 .. did not ignore the warnings .. tool action on getting the 300G .. took a while to get it set it up.
