How long can I house him

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
The only question I've got is if you plan to upgrade asap why you thinking short body's ? , if it was me I'd have an upgrade in mind in next few months or just wait a while until you can house an aro long term

There's practically no existence of a true short body arowana... They take the original arowana and deform it. Those are rare and out of the country and would cost $$$$ the only Arowanas you can buy in the US are silver, blacks, Jardini, and african. All of these will out grow your 55 in about 2-3 months depending on how you feed it. The smallest arowana you can purchase is a jardini and they still range up to 18 inches and are the most aggressive arowana too. You're trying to force a situation that is not possible. You need to upgrade to Atleast a 150 tank to be able to house and arowana

OK, 6 months instead of 5. quit messing around and hose it properly or don't get it.
 
OP your lucky to even be able to get an Arowana. I've wanted one for ages just never had a big enough tank. So went to buy a 180gal (UK) then thought nah i'l splash out so I can get a Jardini so bought a 260gal (UK) now it's been sitting basically empty with nothing but a plec because I can not find somewhere that will post an Arowana to where I live :(
 
I have always wanted an arrow but have never got one because I know I could never properly house one. I had a 125 and knew I would not be able to go bigger than that so I never got another Arrow. There are many many more fish out there that are just as interesting that will fit in a 55. If you want a top dwelling live feeding fish look at archers. They are really cool and almost have a face like and arrow but many are brackish so you will need to add a little salt.
