Aro Tank

Hey everyone
Please tell me how many adult aros(silver or black) can be housed in a tank for life with the dimensions(8' length x 3.5' width x 2.5' height) ? Thanks in advance

I know some will say 1 or 2. But I have seen as many as 5 in a tank that size and they were huge.

your tanksize is good, but gonna depend if the aros will tolerate eachother

they eat alot hopefully you take that into consideration =] i only have 1 and he goes through about 10 dollars worth of shrimp every month. that dont even included all his other foods that he gets fed. but with that being said he/she is totaly worth it if i had a bigger tank id have more lol

I have four SA arowana 27-30" long in a 96x36x30" tank. It is doable but sometimes seems cramped. The tank that size was much better suited for three adult arowana.

i have 5 growing out in my 180gal and they are running out of room fast!

i would agree with brian and say 3 maybe 4 if they really like each other. i think your about 2' shy on the length and 1-2' shy on the width for any more then that.
