-Tank size minimum 180
-They will eat about anything; feeders, worms, bugs, etc. I would try and keep them on things like pellets and worms though.
-Arowanas DEMAND clean water so look forward to a lot of water changes.

agree on clean water. also make sure u feed them a high protein food supply, it really brings in the fin colors.
quarantine feeders before u feed ur aro. u dont want any kind of disease in ur aro tank.

IMO, skip feeders. Not needed. Read delgado's sticky, it is really helpful

NO, you need something at least 8ft long and 3ft wide. bigger the better. you dont want a 3ft fish in a 6ft long tank. not gonna work

A 180g will be fine for a couple years while the silver is around 24". With proper care the silver aro will get 36" possibly larger. It is best if you can house the silver aro in a tank that is at least 3 times as long as the aro and has a width at least equal to the aros length.

i have seen some large aros in 55 gal tanks, at least 24 inches

OK...so what are you trying to say? Just because some idiot decides to keep a silver in a 55g and you witnessed it, doesn't make it right?
