Arowana growth rates?

Green = fast, jar = fast, silver = faster.
Big silver + smaller jar could work in an enormous tank but would most likely require more arowana to spread the aggression. Couple of thousand gallons should be enough.

usually 1" to 1.5" a month till 12"+ thats when growth rate slows down. With good amount of food and fresh water these monster grow fast....
Generally, fastest growth occurs during first 2 years, then slower for 2-5 years. At 5 years they are considered adult and ready to breed. Future growth is slowest from this point onwards. In australasian arowana's this means growth till around 18 - 19" then slow growth. In SA's around 21-22".
In stating the above environmental conditions, feeding, etc can effect individual fish results.

i can only testify for two of those as they are the only ones in the list that i have. if all is taken care well the silver grows super fast. i would say 20" + in the first year. that means clean water, healthy food. as for the green, well my green only grew from 4" acquired june last year to 13" at present. with the same regimen done with my silver. by the way my silver was around 7" when i bought it and at 1 and a half years it's now around 25" to 26".
I had a Jardini for a year (before i moved) and he/she grew to 20" within a year, good clean water (filtration, WC, etc.) and a variety of foods.
Never heard or seen any australian or asian arowana grow that quick.
