[iloveoscars702]

how long can an arowana live in a 100 gal? lol just wondering.

 

[gobucks1]

What type of aro? How big is it now? What are the 100 gallon's dimensions?

if it is a silver and at the 4-5 inch size as commonly sold in an lfs I would say 6-8 months...mine when from 5 inches to about 13 inches in 5 months....that all depends on the dimensions of ur tank though

 

[iloveoscars702]

dim would be 6ftx1.5ftx1.5ft... prob a silver aro or a jardini. size? around 2-3 inches.

With the silver you could keep it up to around 18". Silvers grow on average 1 to 1.5" per month so a 3" will 18" in about 10 to 12 months. This is avaerage some grow quick some slower.

My silver, bought a 3" was only 14" after a year, while others have reported being near 2 foot within a year.

jardinis would last around 1 year or little more and silvers 1 year or less

would feedin determine how fast it will grow? cause i feed my fish about 1 a week.

so wich aro (silver or jar) would last longer with the tank dim i added earlier?

the water condition,amount of food also effects the growth factor and your putting it with the oscars? if u are please dont buy an aro then or buy 1 2x bigger then the oscar
