black arowana

[mr.sunshine]

So i was thinkin bout getting a black arowana. whats the minimum tank size i woud need?

id say 180 and up for a permenant home but you could use a grow out 55

I think a 6'x2'x2' 180g tank would last a very long time. Once the aro gets to be 27 or 28" long you would need to look at upgrading.

At the rate my black is growing I'm not sure she would ever outgrow a 180g

i agree ^ blacks tend to grow a lot slower than silvers

My black was nearly touching front to back in my 5'x2'x2' after a bit over two years, raised it from 6" on nothing but pellets. If you're getting a 180g why not make it an extra 6" wide just to be on the safe side, then you'll be right for years.
