Any idea on timeframe before I would have to upgrade or return?

My arowana I got at 5". It hit 18" in 10 months. I fed the thing heavy though, you could expect your 150 gallon to last around 1.5-2 years

I'd say less, 1 year. I got my Aro around 6-7" and in just 10 months it looked big in my 250g it was easy 24-25"

That's some crazy growth, were you heavy feeding it?

All my fish get heavy fed mostly because if they don't, Godzilla (My achara catfish)will end up showing me his displeasure through the means of missing fish Lol. Don't get me wrong. The fish weren't overfed but my water changes are done every 3-4 days and I maintain perfect water parameters. This along with the good source of food allowed the silver optimum growth conditions. He was a monster in no time. I was gutted to sell him but it was either him or my dats...I chose my dats lol

Yeah I agree a Florida would be good and they grow really slow I've had one for over two years now I got him when he was 4-5" now he's 14" and I feed him good

Mine grew to that size in a couple months, what are you feeding yours? And how often?
