I believe the answer you'll get around here is 180 Gallon 6x2x2. Of course this is for a full sized specimen. A 75 or 90 is good for a growout tank.

180 is really pushing it, but it can be done because they are so flexible. For the fish to be really comfy get a tank thats atleast 3 feet wide. Dimensions are more important than actual volume, though they do go hand in hand.

Id feel bad for one in anything smaller than 6'x2' 8'x3' would be better

250g 8X2X2

I would say 8,3,2 would be nice fore a Arrow, you dont keep your self in a little box do you?

You could do it in a 180g. It is possible.

But really not advisable as they can freak out when in cramed spaces and basicly it is just not ideal for the fish.

so a tank size 6' x 2 1/2 x 2 225 gallon is bare minimum aswell

72x30x2 would be smallest for silver imo but it would lest a very long time in a 6x2x2
