Just got this guy currently at 3”. I was wondering whats growth like on albinos? Are they the same as silvers? Do they easily get drop eye as well? Any tips that would help me in keeping this guy would be much appreciated. Thanks!!

Same growth as captive bred silver aros but albino. So about 1.5in average a month till about 20-24in. Can be up to 2in per month till 20-24in. Then slows down from there. Depends on food, tank size and water changes.

Canget drop eye like other arowanas.

Ohh so the care is just like silvers. I’ll just control his diet so he’ll be less prone to DE.

How about black arowanas? Do they have the same growth as silvers or slower? I bought a black arowana 2 months ago he’s only grown 2” so far

Black arowanas grow slower. 1in per month and slow down once around the 14in mark.
