WHO HAS THE BIGGEST

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My silver Aro is 18"+ and is about 2 years old. The biggest I've seen is massive 3.5foot almost a foot high and around 5" thick silver aro at LFS, they wanted $900 for it.

Op is talking about a jardini and not a silver. Silver aros average about 2 feet in a little more a year. They have growth rate of 3 inches a month on the high side but its very common. Jardini's grow slower and dont nearly get as big. But just wondering what tank your silver is in? Roughly a two year old silver should be a fully mature aro.
 
Here's my 22" evil jardini that I lost few months back , he was six year old

My tank got infected with a really bad case of velvet disease no idea where from , i treated as soon as I noticed problems but it was too late in lost him within 24hours :mad:, I tried to keep him alive for hours no chance , then I lost my Irwini and giraffe cats few days later :banghead:

I've now got a small jardini 6" and a 4" irwini in a grow out for future beasts , in at least a year or so that is :D

What an absolute beast , you better watch the cat doesn't fall in he'll disappear :D:D:D
 
forgot to ask aero how old is that beast ? What size tank ? What's his diet ? (appart from cats ;) )
 
he's 6-7 years old. here's a pic of him in his first year trying to eat an algae wafer that was for the pleco.

he's currently in a tiny 4ft tank getting treated for finrot. normally i keep him in my pond thing which is approximately 8' x 4'.
diet is hikari cichlid gold pellets. i feed him beefheart about once a week. last month he swallowed a beer bottle cap and luckily threw it up after 11 days.
