aros grow fast?

[tothna]

If I got a 1" aro now, how long would it last in a 55gal?

good luck finding one at 1" and if you do good luck on keeping it alive.
You will find them in the 3" range without their yolk sack, and it would only last about a year.....if youre lucky in a 55

Save yourself the time and spare the fish....get a big tank, then get a Aro.....

Yeah agree with what's stated above. You can best get an arowana at 6 inch or bigger because there quite sensative when really small. A arowana of 6 inch will last a couple of months in a 55 gallon. For a full grow arowana you'll be looking at a tank in the 200+ range.

i agree a 55g wont realy last that long.
its easier just sorting the bigger tank first

I agree

the growth rate of an aro is 1 inch per month, so a 55 gals will only last for a few months better get a bigger tank before buying an aro
