footprint

[sam_cj]

what is the minimum footoprint of a tank for a full grown silver?

7' x 30" x 24"

An aro in captivity more than likely wont grow over 3 ft. A 180 is a little tight but could house a large aro IMO. Delgado's near 3 footer seems quite happy to me!

WHOAAAAAAAAAA!!!

i wouldnt say nearly 3 foot!!

more like 2 inches over 2'

Happy all the same, or at least happy enough to lay eggs.

Try and get somthing with 3ft of width.

That would be ideal.

thanks for the info guys still looking at tanks but most seem to any run 24" wide petshop had a 265gal that was 84"x24" dont remember height tho. just looking around and watching paper and sales

for an arowana, width and length is more crucial and height is not that important but good to have. having it higher would help provide more water capacity and increase water condition. i.e. water parameter is more stable.


btw try to get a tank with width of at least 2.5 feet. (i.e. 30")

you can look into custom tanks as well
