a 50 would make a great growing up tank, but i think your 25 would be fine if you change water every 3 days at about 30%. but your larger tank MUST arrive soon coz silvers grow before your eyes man, believe me
Arowanas and their size.

I'm trading up my 6 to a 8ft tank (i don't know the gl I am Australian!)
i'm planning to keep 2 silvers in that, I already have a large one @ 26inches (in the transaction of selling)
I would hold off getting it until you do some research on them, and have a good setup.
9 weeks until your get your big tank, and then 2 or so weeks until you break it in with the filtration getting the temp and PH right etc... fish keeping, there is no rush. =) that's the beauty of it.
relax a little, take your time. it's not going anywhere =P
I've spent over 2 months looking for a 8ft and good aquarium stockers of RTC (red tail cats)
all the best dude!

i think 4ft+ is a little bit over the top for the size of a silver aro
i think you would be very very lucky to grow one to 3ft+ in a tank
has anyone got any pics of a silver aro over 4ft wild or captive
im not saying its not possable but would just like to see it for myself and until i do see a silver over 4ft then i think 36-40inch is a good if not max size for a silver aro

I agree. Delgado seems to think they grow to 5 foot 
The biggest I have seen is pushing 3 foot. Even the public aquarium aros seem to be around the 3 foot mark, maybe a bit over.
I think trust or neo once posted some aros they said were around 4 foot. I think they were in Japanese tanks. Maybe the Nihon Gos use hormones to grow 4 foot aros?

The biggest silver aro i've seen is 36 inches in a 120gal tank. This is a well maintained and well fed aro. I think the tank size is 72" x 20" x 20". But I would not recommend this tank size. Should be at least 72" x 24" x 24" for a 36" silver aro.
I think your 25 gal can hold the silver aro for 9 weeks, just maintain good water quality.

the silver will not last long but will last the 9 weeks for you to get your 300 g tank.
Finally someone went straight to the question and answered it as pertaining to the rest of the info about the 300 being purchased in 9 weeks...!! Hoooray!!!
