Black or Silver Arowana..?

I'm a fan of black aros so I would recommend u a black...My friend has 2 for sale right now at good prices and size...
id put a silver aro in a 6'x3' but maybe thats just me. you can also go wtih a jardini if you like those.
I would say a 8'x3' footprint min for a Silver,these generally top out a little over 30" in a tank of this size,a black...well i've never seen a 2' one in domestic aquaria in over 35 years but they do grow larger than this.Wild specimens of both species do attain larger sizes due to there been no unnatural restrictions, ie water quality issues and of course no space limitations.
Having kept pretty much all species of Arowana my choice between these two would be a black.They still attain a large size but a little more sensible,rarely do you see a black with drop eye,the colouration in the fins(sky blue with a yellow fringe) is so attractive and they generally have a more peaceful disposition than many silvers.
All in all blacks are worth the extra cash imo.
Hope this helps,
all the very best and good luck with your choice.
