At 5"... expect it to grow superfast in the next 6 months.. easily 10-12" Make sure u have a big tank ready.. cuz they are the fastest growing arowana....
 
silver aro would prob grow 1"-1.5" per month til 24" and slow down but it all depends on many factors
 
I bought a baby silver aro and it grew from 1.5" to 7" in about 5-6 months. It depends what you feed him though. If you give him high protein foods like hikari pellets, they'll grow at a faster rate. Give them low protein food like bloodworms and they'll grow slower.
 
if you do it right you could get 3"+ a month...i personally had a silver go from 3" to 24"+ in 10 months...the last 2 months were more bulk then length...
