I would say one silver. Their eventual size is monstrous and they really need some space to move and turn around. Africans can probably be kept in a larger group

0. Not a single one. Just my opinion though.

They reach 3' without a problem at all. You realize your depth of 4' is pretty much the length they get?

Just my 2 cents. I would never buy such a monster fish with such a small tank. Well, it's not a small tank but to me to it too small for the size of the fish.

I think silver aros in the right conditions in captivity can get 3ft easy, but I don't think there is a measured 4ft silver arowana in captivity.

i think at least 2 or 3. i've seen more aros in smaller tanks. i'm not saying its practical or comfortable for the fish but it can work if you do water changes more often.

There is no "but" needed.
