[alexpie001]

Ok so here is my tank, im sure it is long enough at over 9ft, im sure it is high enough at #ft, the righ side is wide enough at almost 6ft but the left side is only around 27inches

the system is round 475 gallons

could it hold a silver arro for life ?View attachment 765600View attachment 765601View attachment 765602View attachment 765603


will put up some more pics if needed, the shape is weird, but fits my house !

IMO, Yes!! Go getta one!! I have a three footer in a 360 and he's doing fine. I have a 500gal in case he gets any bigger I could move him too. I think your more than good bud!

im not sure if it could turn on the one side ?

better use some kind of media to separate the edgy side I think, more than that it's OK

Hi Alex,

Since you are in SA I believe you have no legal restrictions and therefore may opt between asian and south american arowanas.
I think that for an asian aro (scleropages) your tanks is more than enough; I´m not experience with south american aros but I would also say you may go for it.

thanks, i think that they might actually be restricted here too as in all my life i have never seen one here

 

[alexpie001]

can other people chime in ?

Silver aro are more flexible than other aros. I don't think you would have any issues at all.
On legality of asian aros I wouldn't have a clue.

Love your tank.
