5 ft round pond

[superluke]

would a 5ft round pond be big enough for a fully grown silver arrowana it will be 2 ft deep

i would say yes but bigger is always better. remember aro's jump.. get some kind of lid on it.

 

[prskiller]

That's 293 gallons, nice. Get some type of screen around it so it won't jump out.

i guess thats ok

Thats, pretty big but I would say no. I sold a 6 x 4' tank because I didn't think it would be big enough for my silvers. If that's as big as you can go then that will have to do, I guess.

 

[superluke]

so you guys say yes as long as i get a good lid

Well since it is round, I would say yes, but if it had been a 5x5 tank i would probably have said no. Just make sure theres plenty of swimming room, AND THE COVER!

like circle round? or if i put a dot in the middle of the circle and its gonna have 4 right angles round? im gonna say no.
this is my opinion
cause its gonna be only 5 ft at its wides
silvers get at least 30inch+
it wont give him enough swimming room
since its round the only place he can cruise is in the middle
if it was a a 5ft by 5ft rectangle pond you can measure it from mold to molding and it gonna be 5 ft. but if you measure certain parts of a circle pond some parts are gonna be smaller.
which might make certain parts of the pond more difficult for him to turn around because its at a curver rather than straight.


heres my little diagram. hope this helps

The idea is that it mostly swims in circles...

Which is why circular is better.
