Arrowana, Oscar, Hybrid Catfish

[zawada]

What are these three worth... ? I know they sometimes are on the "free" list. Currently, they are in a 120 tank.. A friend wants me to put them in my 170. I also have a sump... I know they are already large.. My concern is that they are to big for my tank already..

What are your thoughts on them living in a 170 gal..
Do they have any value? If so what... Looking for great advice...

Silver Arowana 16 inch
hybrid catfish 12 inch
red Oscar 8inch

If you have no plans to upgrade I would get rid of the aro and the cat and keep the oscar. As for value, it really depends on your location but in my area(ny) the aro might be worth a little bit. Maybe $50 if you were lucky. The oscar would be free and the cat would be $20 max but most likely free as well.

that aro looks like it has not eaten in weeks

at least. the catfish looks rather starved too. hard to tell with the oscar because of the fins, but he does look better off than the others.
someone would need to be pretty desperate to pay anything for such a scrawny aro.


what are the dimensions of your tank? if it's 24" wide you could at least get the aro up to weight. better to give it away free to a good home then leave it where it is.
what is the current stock in your tank?

x2.. and tbh all those fish are common enough and get big enough you won't get much if anything for them. the Oscar is the only one that won't outgrow the 120 or 170. just depends if he plays nice or not with what you already have.
