How big a tank will I need?

[nicko743]

Hey guys
Just wanted to know your opinion on what tank size I will need when I decide to upgrade.
Will be stocking:
2x Silver Arowana
1 x Spotted Gar
2 x Motoro Stingray
2-4 x Peacock Bass (not sure how many yet)
Want to know roughly what dimensions or water volume I will need to keep these guys for LIFE.
At the moment I have a motoro, the aros and the gar in a 6x2x2.

I'd say an 8x3.

atleast 250+

I currently have a 450g 96x36x30" with two 27-28" silvers and a 24" black aro. For the stock you are suggesting I would say at least 8x4x2.5' with a 10x4x2.5' being a much wiser choice.

Who are you to give advice on tank size? You have a Silver in a fish bowl!

how about instead of how big of a tank do i need first y not ask if that combo would work? ur answer to that question is no. dont get the florida gar(u wont get a spotted. 99% chance its a florida)

I also agree. For your fish to be happy for life I would go as big as possible. Once they are fully grown it can get crowded even in a 450g tank especially with alot of Pbass. I just upgraded to a 450g and it won't be a for life home for my stock.

shoot with that much filtration you could squeeze way more in it.
