Just out of curiosity, what is the size of your captive bred silver aro for all you silver aro keepers out there? Yes, they can grow upto 35" in the wild but what about in captivity in a pond or tank? Please post some pics of your monster aro to show a size comparison. Here' a pic of mine @...

Got it from my lfs where I got my aro from. Breeder for the parents of my aro are only 22". Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

Thanks for the comments everyone! I'll post more pics with any updates. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

Thanks & no worries, just misread my post. I tried to get another silver aro & was raising it in my 75gal quarantine\ grow out tank till I came home one day to find it on the ground. The one I currently have is in my show tank 220gal. Happy fish keeping! :-) Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747...

Pics are from my phone & aren't the greatest. I also was standing at weird angels to try & avoid background reflections. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

Captive silver aros rarely grow bigger than 24", mine is around 22" & is not even 2 years old. I've seen people that keep two aros in a 125gal which i would consider stunting. I suppose I could remove some of the lace rock for more room & I plan on either moving the oscars or jacks, they always...

Thanks! The tank us a 220gal with an extra tall stand. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

Haven't posted pics in awhile so here's an update on my silver aro & tank mates. Had to move my angels cause she was eating them. I also tried to get a second aro but it jumped out of my 75gal grow out tank even though I had it covered with only about an inch gap for the overflow box. $40 down...

Nice pick up. Be sure to keep your tank well covered, they jump a lot when they are smaller. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

i agree that Hikari makes the best fish foods. i currently feed my aro Jumbocarni sticks & my cichlids the small size Hikari sticks. it's a great diet & is less expensive then feeding silvers or shrimp. Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

sad day my male FH died from a scratch on his body that i should have treated early. he got scratches before from fighting with the oscars & he healed just fine with no meds but i guess that wasn't the case this time. i checked out the Petsmart & they have this guy, it looks like a male. i'll...

i have been rotating between the hikari jumbo carnisticks, frozen cooked shrimp & what's left of the silvers, i think its good to vary the diet. shrimp in my opinion is easier to prep than the silvers since its easier to thaw them & they're cooked so they don't get all mushy like silvers do. i...

i have not heard of a cross between a FH& JD but it's probably been done before. there is another FH forum about crossbreed FHs & other fish. i haven't breed any fish yet but would like to hope my JDs, FHs or Red Oscars pair up. if they do i have a seperate tank to take them out of my 220g show...

he's looking good yan! de isn't that noticeable compared to mine. i think i feed mine too much silvers & shrimp because my aro is fatter :) i probably should feed him the hikari food more. i noticed how you only have your tank partially filled & your tank on a low stand to limit looking down...

my tank is a 220g. L-69", W-24", H-30". top of the tank on stand to floor it's 70" so my aro is actually looking down at me most of the time. i grew her out in a 75g till she was about 10". my 75g now is now a planted tank w/ angels & has no more space to grow out another aro. Sent from my...

it doesn't really bother me, this is my first arowana so i'm learning. i was actually thinking about getting a second one but i'm worried about the size difference. buying an aro that's about the size of mine is pretty expensive & i don't have another tank to grow out another one. Sent from my...

thanks, keep us posted on your progress. i would really love to see the offspring. these are my first FHs & i'm hoping they pair up. right now it seems my male FH is interested in one of my Jack Dempsies since my female is still a juvinile. Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

FHs are a mix of different type of fish (man made, won't find them in the wild) some say that's why they are so aggressive. so if you try & cross your FH w/ a blue texas no telling what what kind of offspring you'll get. i have one almost like yours also bought at Petsmart & he is the most...
