What is their lifespan like in captivity assuming pristine water and adequate space?
I've seen some in Hong Kong at this famous store with some old arowanas, about 30 years old. They look old, I asked last time I was there, most are dead, only 3-4 left, use to be a tank of 20 of them.
Wow. Sorry for your loss. That's dedication. Longest ive kept a fish is nine years (and counting.) One of my polys. Granted im 26. Heh, your aro was older than me.
Not a terrible investment for such a long lived fish. Seems better than investing in a high end television and/or speaker system to rot your brain with.

I had it for the first 5 years of it's life .. then gave it to my cousin who had it until it died last year.
Stunning. All this arowana talk is making me want to do something irresponsible. I would own a silver if not for my trop gars. I'm afraid they might not get along.
My lfs had a silver with pastel green, blue, orange, and pink accents on the scales last week. I've seen a ton of silvers, but nothing like that. Almost just snapped it up. I really regret passing on it. Figured it would probably grow out of it anyway.
Don't do it, at small sizes mist of them have these colors. once they reach 12" or so it quickly fades. I love aros but I'm not buying another silver, amazing fish but very dull color
This is when I feel bad for those of you in Canada, who think the common Asian aro is rare
I never said rare, I said legal. they are mass bred in Asia, not even close to being rare
