Grow out size

AN 18" wide 100g is a waste of time. this only buys you a couple months more then the 60g. You should be looking for a 6x2x2' 180g at minimum. This would buy you 1 to 2 years more then the 60g.
The guide you need to be looking at is tank has a length at least 3 times that of the arowana and a width at least equal the arowana. So the 180g is gonna be good for a 24" silver aro.
This man speaks the truth, this advice will not only save you hassle down the road but also $$$$ BECAUSE constantly upgrading is not ONLY stressful for the fish but also your wallet, in the long wrong upgrading to 2-4 tanks is pricey!
Not to mention I've heard horror stories of keeping AROS in smaller tanks + moving them!

I've heard horror stories of moving any Monster FISH! When they get big enough its not exactly the same as netting them! Try a pillowcase, some even add a type of relaxation chemical (forgot what its called) to avoid damage while moving.

Even the 180 is kinda small for a silver aro. I think something 8x3 is more suiting. I will never understand why people what the absolute bare minimum for fish.

A 300g with an 8'x30" footprint is the recommended minimum for an adult silver. A 180g is just a growout for upto a 24"er.
