False. The males will murder each other eventually. I had two and was going to separate them when they got big enough, they murdered each other before I had a chance. They both died, one was torn to bits, the other died from its wounds. This was a crazy case though, they usually just bully each other to death.
4 arowana in 55 gallon tank, lifespan?

Aros are beautiful creatures. As to if they actually bring good or bad luck, nobody knows for sure.
But I do know this, keeping an aro in a small tank definitely will not bring good luck.

I will have to try this. Sounds like it could work. He did agree that if they die he will do it my way next time. Horrible thought, to sabotage tank. Butno promise that he will.actually do it my way.Fat Homer;5155903; said:
Ps this site needs a app.
I wouldn't be too worried. Most of the arowana that unexperienced fish keepers keep die before they reach a size where stunting will occur. We have two arowanas at work in a 2000g and even in that tank, the one beats the other one up on a regular basis.
We sell arowana at my LFS a lot, but most of them die before they reach 12".

Great, now if only you could convince them to upgrade the tank and or lower the number of arowanas. Not even sure how big a tank four silver arowanas would need.
Maybe they could go with one jardini if they only want an arowana since a jardini doesn't need as much room as a silver. ( please don't bite me if I'm wrong because all of my arowana knowledge is from reading)
Maybe you could point them in the direction of a used larger tank they could buy?.

You could also find a place with large arowanas, and show him how big they actually get. A lot of new fish keepers do not understand how large a foot is, until you show them a 12" fish. Often times I will tell customers how big the fish they want will get, and they think it's fine and then they see one that is half the adult size and they say, "this is how big they get?!" and end up not getting it.
