hi glad to hear you wanna keep these beautiful fish!!! i had a silver aro from about 6 inch to 24 inch and he was one of if not the best fish i had. i used to hand feed him and he looked amazing whenever some one came in the room they were like WOW!! :22_yikes: . i found that they weren't too aggressive just gotta be careful of the other fish pickin on them and make sure ya feed them otherwise they'll demolish ya stock!!! also a nice tight fitting lid is a very good idea too.
i wish ya luch with keepin these beauty's and have fun
i got a silver yesterday and he didnt seem to interested in food the store ordered it for me and they said he was eating feeders and ghost shrimp i want to get him off live and on to pellets or something any help appreciated he is about 7 in. long
Dan, I have never had the pleasure of keeping one but I do know that the black aros tend to stay smaller and be cheaper than other aros, but if you get an asian you can make all of us yanks jealous.
