I'm sure you are aware aros gro at a very quick rate initially but after that first 24" they sort of slow down.. so look at aro keepers who have had aros for a long time.. not sure how big bderick67(brian) aros are.. he might chip in here.. i've had my aros a little over 2 years now.. the only hassle is measuring them.. the stress involved to the fish keeper and fish is tremendous.. as in to catch and measure.. if its a glass tank i agree you can sort of approximate and say the fish is x ft big.. but then refraction plays a big part.. i use the tiles in my pond as an approximate measure.. the tiles are 1X1.. so i assume the fish are close to 28".. but i know they are prob a little bit bigger than that..
 
holy... those silvers in the zoo vid are massive! the biggest silver i had was roughly around 37"
when i was younger.
 
Old picture of my 29" Silver Arowana. It's approximately 2.5-3 years old from 4". I got it at 18" 1.5 years ago.
