Green Arowana

[ArowBichir]

Hey Everyone,
I might get a green asain arowana Im wondering if i can keep it in a 120 or 150 for life?

Depends on the dimensions of the tank, but there is a high probability that you will not be able to keep for life.

 

[orinocensis1]

yeah i dont think that you will be able to keep it in there for life

I would say minimum is 6x2x2 (180g). I've seen greens in smaller tanks and they dont seem to grow out nicely, the body seems to be more short and stumpy.

 

[VNCNT]

yeah... probably not. volume (gallons) is not as important as dimensions...

 

[ArowBichir]

is 6x3x2 good or should it be 8x3x2?

Bigger is always better, I would think a 72 x 30 x 24" would be sufficient for life. Not really experience with the asians though. Need to find out how long the green can possibly get.

A green is one of the larger varieties, a 6x3x3 or 8x2.5x2.5 would be minimum. A 120/150 would suffice for the first year or two at most.
