What I really want is a silver arowana. I love the way they swim. The jardini looks much stiffer when it moves, where the silver seems to flow. Due to space constraints, the best I can do is a tank that is 48" x 24" x 24", so if I get any arowana it would have to be a jardini. Would I be happy with it considering what i love about the silver is how it swims? What are peoples opinions who have had both on the difference in behavior?
Jardini vs Silver Arowana

Tbh that aquarium will be too small for a Jardini when fully grown.
I thought jardini does not get too big like a silver? What is the recommended tank size?
Basically I can go bigger, but I cant go longer than 48"

Is that because its longer or has more water? I posted the wrong dimensions but the tank I was thinking of is 150g, 48" x 30" x 25"

i’ve got a 5”er in a 60” wide grow out - i feel bad at times - he’s only 5” - i’ve got a bigger 4’ tank but can’t really see the fish in there...
folks will probably say 6’ length -

Yes you hit the nail on the head very active swimmer.
Okay so silvers are bigger and less aggressive jardinis on the other hand grow a tab bit smaller but they make up for that size with lots aggression
so honestly they both need the same size tank silvers because they are bigger and jardinis if you want too keep tank mates in with them.
Also in my opinion I prefer jardinis but only because they are illegal where I live.
