If I'm not mistaken, a third of their life would be around 16 years... Umm... Sorry. NO. The black arowana would be atleast 30" by that time. And the jardini would be atleast 27". Would you quit with the ignorant posts please?

Does anybody here have a 48 year old arowana? :grinno:
 
I said around 16 years.The life expectancy for arowanas in the wild is around 60 years. They can easily live over 30 years in captivity given the right conditions and if their keeper isn't friggin st00pid.
