I'm personally not sure, as I've never personally heard of them breeding in a tank. I think someone else said in the last thread that a member here had bred them in a tank. I tried using the search function here on MFK and couldn't find any posts or threads about Arowana's breeding in tanks though as I searched after hearing it. Still I'd think a 450 would be too small. As it is they like to choose their own mates so just sticking a male and female together doesn't necessarily work. Usually they're kept in a school of 6 minimum till 2 pair off. That's primarily why it's unheard of or virtually unheard of them breeding in a tank. Plus much like poly's they have to be fairly close to full grown to breed. It's why poly's as well aren't bred as often as cichlids as it can take quite awhile for them to reach sexual maturity. At least what I said is true as far as I know, I never give definitive's as I never know perhaps I've missed something in my research.

Asian arowanas have been bred in smaller aquariums before; silver arowanas were bred in a pool & were fairly large, too.

See that's what I thought too. I've at least heard about Asians being bred in aquariums though I've not seen any definitive proof, still I believe it. I also heard just as you've said that the smallest body of water a Black or Silver has ever been bred in is a large pool or pond. I personally think the breeding success of Asians comes from their more confident demeanor. Silvers and Blacks in general are a lot more skittish and I think that's why they're more exacting as far as their breeding requirements. They need the comfort of not feeling cramped more so than Asians. At least that's my opinion.

As has been stated the aro is a silver.

As far as them breeding in a 450 I could see it happenning. I know a guy that had three larger silvers in a 180 and got eggs. The male didn't end up brooding the eggs though. And a 450 is considerably bigger than a 180.
 
Not trying to be rude, but my arowana looks exactly the same; same exact coloration. Either mine is a hybrid and I payed way to little for it, or yours isn't.
 
Hybrid? :duh: Why doesn't your so called Arowana breeder uncle come on here and help argue the BS calim of yours? BTW you claim you recently sold a bunch of these fish right? To whom were they sold?
 
:ROFL::ROFL: just how many of these "hybrids" did you get?:ROFL::ROFL: i had some true purple aros a little while ago:headbang2 they were amazing....damn shame though, every pic i ever took they looked like every other silver aro...
 
Truth be told he ask's a lot of what I would consider basic fish question for someone whose supposedly a nephew of a professional breeder. It's really weird that one moment he seems to act like he's just learning and other times like he's an expert. Case in point here despite all the opposition of some experienced members here he essentially is adamant that his aro is a hybrid. He offers nothing except what he offered the first time a pic of what appears to be a Silver. He circles parts of the images saying this is how you know it's a hybrid, but doesn't tell you how it's different then what appears to us to be a Silver aro. He even goes so far as to say we all don't know what a Silver looks like and that's why we can't tell. A interesting claim since Silvers are the most common of aro's and even a lot of complete noobs recognize them immediately. My guess is he won't respond to this thread again, but might create another one in the near future claiming the same thing and offering the same kind of "proof".
