Keep an eye on rehobothaquatics.com. They're out of stock right now, but maybe in the near future......

hey noob question i wanted to know if i could house 1 in a 180 g and are they aggresive to Sa/Ca cichlids thanks

 

[JamesF]

They get too big for a 180. Not overly aggressive from what I've read, except to each other.

whats the minimum tank size and how long till they hit 18"

 

[JamesF]

From what I've heard from people here, they are one of the fastest growing fish you will ever see. Not sure how long to hit 18". Persoanlly I wouldn't keep one in anything smaller than a 300.

They do grow real fast but it would depend on several factors, such as tank size,water condition,diet,temperature, etc. I would say a 6'x2'x2' would do an African Aro good for 1 to 1.5 year or less. You would need a minimum of a 6'x2.5'x2'(225g) to house an African Aro for life, but I would suggest 8'x3'x2' or bigger.

I think Hao gave you 30" wide,72" length at the least.
