Just need a few basic questions answered. Im looking into either a Silver or Black aro.... Want to know how rapidly they grow? Im using a 55g to grow out my cuvier/senegal bichir and was also wanting to grow out my Aro for my 300g. I have an AC110 and fluval305 for filtration. Trying to find out how long I have to buy the fish, house in my 55 and biuld my 300.....
 
1-2" per month depending on feeding and water changes. IME when they hit 14" their growth rate slows a bit and they start to "fill out"
 
Ok cause im starting construction of my 300 in a few months and want it done by september.. also does a silver or black grow any faster/slower?
 
My black has grown a little slower than my silver. Still pretty impressive growth rate though.
 
do you think i have enough filtration? If not was going to either add a Hot magnum 250 HOB with biowheel or a penguin 350....
 
blacks are slower growers. With 300 gallon I would go with a sump, rather than cannister filters..
 
lol I mean for my 55. im doing a 100g wetdry for the 300. My 55g has an AC110 and fluval 305. With a arowana, sengal bichir, and 4 silver dollars in my 55g will that be enough filtration or should I add either a AC70, emperror 280 or hot mag 250 with biowheel?
 
Ok what filter if at all should I add to my 55. An ac70, penguin 350 or hot mag with no biowheel, the hot mag would be to polish the water
 
you are ok in the 55 as you are, imo..more the better, but not needed..
