I read the whole thread looking for an interesting discussion and yet it just turned into a hugefight. Like so many other threads 
I found the question interesting and very few people had any excuse for why the Japanese aros seem to fair so well in small tanks when the forum says an aro can live in NOTHING smaller than a 240. Very interesting concept, yet no one seems to have an answer.
I also agree that not everyone has HUGE tanks so where are these fish being kept? I believe a lot of people are not answering for fear of being flamed.

Also note to self that if it can be done by others, then you can do it!I'm looking for that opportunity you had, to view fish keeping in the real world! Just click on the "!" on the bottom left corner, and ask a Mod to close the thread, if you feel you already get your answer
LOL i feel like I know less now than i did yesterday
i have mine in a 150g but he will be going into a 1000+ before he gets full sizeknightmare1968;4447385;4447385 said:I know the standard answer that a silver needs 240 gallons but...
I lived in Japan for about 5 years ( I am American Military ) the japanese have a different view on stocking as some of you know... I have seen many Aros (asian,silver and jars) in very good health and more than 10 years old in tanks between 75 and 100 gallons. A 100 gallon tank for the Japanese hobbiest is a HUGE tank, and they have tons of aros in them and have for years, if they are healthy and live long lives do we really need 300 gallons here????? I do not believe that everyone that has an Aro has a 300 gallon tank (room and money would dictate smaller tanks) but aros are a huge seller... I do not want to start a B*&ch fest but what size tank do you really have an aro in or what realistic size would you keep one in????
thanks

All the arows die early, thats why they pack all the back ups in the tank with them.
Hahaha this is getting better...
Beeban, you're unstopable dude.... Making enemies wherever you go.
You're pathetic ! You'll argue just for the sake of arguing. None of your post have any merit nor meaning. Yours repeating the same thing by rewording over and over again

I AGREE 100 percent, if people would answer honestly maybe I could make a good informed decision
