Help me choose an Arowana

Aside from what everybody's said above about size, SILVERS ARE BORING!

I wouldn't even want one in the US, where they're one of the only options, let alone elsewhere in the world where you can get a real aro that won't suffer from drop eye.

dont be mistaken ... rtg do get drop eyes too sometimes ... but rarely occured

Hmmmm if i were you i'd go for the RTG it has much better appearances than the yellow tail or the silver

Get one you can afford to lose. Not some color hyped fish that everyone is raving about. In the end, if you care you will love it regardless.

I say if you do not want to spend a fortune I would get a black Arowana they get pretty big and the do not get messed up eyes when they get big. I have a three foot one in a 420 gallon tank and he is about three feet long and not very aggressive toward his tank mates, But to be honest I would rather have a red tailed gold if I was aloud to keep one legally In the U.S but I am sure you can get a black or green for a reasonable price.I Know in Asia the redder they are the more they cost. So since your not going to buy more than one maybe it would be wise to get one that you really want,and spend a few extra dollars.Hope you get the one you want Noel

You have a 3 foot black arowana, yet you would recommend one for someone with just a 6 foot tank? Wow.....

My black took me 9 years to get that big.In a six foot tank probably take longer besides Asian Arowana still get to be three feet long and he could always get a bigger tank a few years down the road or trade him in for a more expensive one when he gets bigger they only increase in Value.
