180 gallon and Arowana

[fishbum]

If you bought one as a juvi,how long could you keep a silver aro in a 180 before it out grows it?

 

[smartlove_518]

depends on the dimension of the tank.i would say 6x2.5x2.5 is the bare minimum. the bigger the better. you could house it for 2 years atleast and then look to upgrade.

It's 6x2x2.
What is the size of tank needed to keep a mature one for life?

There are many that have kept a silver aro in a 180g 6x2x2' for many years. IMO once the aro reaches 26-27" it needs a bigger tank. Starting with a 6" aro, you would be looking a 3 years at the most.

recommended minimum for life would be 96x30x24"

Thanks.

So a pond would be best!

Probably 2 years but also depend how often you feed it.

180 gallons!?!?! nice!!

Bigger is always better but in my experience a 180 6x2x2 works as long as the tank isnt over stocked.
