First post shows what happens to an aro in a 90 gallon, second post proves the deformation of the aro was caused by the 90 gallon tank.Or I could just do like everyone else
90 gallon tank is way too small for any arowana You know... I think we really need to stop talking in Gallons. Thats like talking in WPG (Watts per gallon) its out dated and honestly confuses people who don't know anything about footprint sizes for tanks..
I think in dealing with Large fish like anything in the ancient section, or some of the larger cichlids (Dovii, umbee) we should be speaking in footprint.
like, oh you need a 6'x2'x2' tank for that (Instead of calling it a 180)
I think it would clear up a lot of problems.
I mean this is the ultimate example..... Whats the difference between a 90g and a 100g....
90g 48 1/2 x 18 1/2 x 25 3/8
100g 72 1/2 x 18 1/2 x 19 3/8
You can CERTAINLY keep TOTALLY differen't fish in that 100g tank. Much, much more room.

If you are using the 90 gal. as a grow out tank its fine. But have the other tank ready to graduate him or her into it. I have mine in a 90 gal. but its only 10 inches. I have a 96x 48x 36 ready for when he is ready for the larger tank. Give him enough room and don't overstock the tank like you see in a lot of the photos.
