Jardini arowana!

[big_tank_boy]

how long can i grow out a 1 inch jardini aro and a 1 1/2 inch TSN in a 20 gallon tank? I also here that baby aro are very very very delicite but never heard in wat way like if they are bullied or if the are water quility or food and getting them off live?

i have 2 tanks set up for them after the 20 gal first a 55 then a 125 with the other big boys.

how many.. big boys.. are we talking about? in this 125gal? and in a 20 gallon it would last you maybe.. 2-3 months depends on feeding/water changes

 

[bitteraspects]

probably closer to 5mo. youre gonna have to switch to a larger tank before it gets too big to turn around in the tank its in. but as stated above, it will depend on the growth rate of your jar

 

[crowconor]

if power fed about 3 months

 

[big_tank_boy]

it will be few bichir but will eventualy go into a bigger tank later.

 

[bitteraspects]

as long as the fish has room to move freely, ans turn around, youll be fine. just keep in mind you will have to upgrade along the way, or rehome the aro if you cant get a big enough tank.

also make sure you have enough filtration and frequent wc. when you have bigger fish in tighter tanks, the water parameters are more likely to fluctuate, so keep an eye on your levels.

yea they will have plenty of filteration and they will be upgraded to a 2-3 foot wide tank eventualy.

i had my jar in a 20g for 5-6months but i didnt power feed them. i just feed him 1-2 times a day then put him in my 180g

yea they will always have food in there live shrimps and i will get them off as fast as i can when bigger.
