aro's in a 125gal

[Bosa]

this might be a dumb question, is it possible to keep maybe 2-3 silver arows in a 125gal? will they end up fighting with each other?

can't even keep one aro in a 125 for an extended period of time...

my friends aro outgrew a 125 in a year

yeah silvers usually get along if there a few of them but as for your tank, i think its not a good idea unless you are planning to transfer them to a bigger tank.

Assuming silver arowanas, this could only work for a short time if they do not fight. Keeping a pair is a crap shoot and a trio doesn't increase odds that much.

With proper care silver aros grow to about 2 feet long within the first 18 months. The aros are going to require a tank that is 8 foot long and 3 foot wide. The 125 gallon will become too small once they are only about 15" long. So your only looking at about 6 to 8 months before needing a larger tank.

i agree with both members about the tank and growth.
