You could grow one for a while in a 160 (depending on width) but eventually I think you'll need a bigger tank. Tank mates depends on the type of aro too, usually.

thanks for the quick reply i can get one from a friend in a week or so, might grow him out in the 160 gal

what kind of aro are you planning on getting?

what are the dimensions of a 160? i think a 155 bow front is ok for an aro if not a little cramped, i believe it's 18" W on the sides and 24" in the center where it's bowed out the most, length is 6' i think

thats enough if you wanna keep an asian or an aussie aro, as long as you get the dimensions right. i dont know with silvers, they grow really big so if you wanna max a silver's growth, i think 200g would be more appropriate
