I am sorry for the drama, is there a mod that can close the thread please?? I have learned my lesson about asking questions....

thanks

these are the reasons i think i may just delete my account here, very difficult to ask questions and get information with the drama

Unfortunately it is, problem is no matter what research, logic or wisdom says there are those who will keep asking the same questions over and over. Just looking for someone to give that one answer that will bring justification to their poor, selfish or irresponsible fishkeeping. Then worst of all they start spewing the bad advice as gospel.

I don't have an aro at all...so i am not trying to justify anything. It is the ignorant statements that make me (and other people) think you are a child and should be banned from posting ever again. You are the reason people hate forums.You have very little experiance in this and I think was stated you still live at home is that correct? And you make mention of people need educated????? i have 3 degrees, one in aeronautical technology one in Business and a MBA in human resources......Maybe I am not an idiot

Believe me! He's a child! Don't let him discourage you... There are not many of him here

So I guess someone said you could keep a 3 foot aro in a 16g BioOrb and you took that advice

I just wish people would give advice based in real practice not what they read or think or want to be true, I stand by what i said and the post proves it somewhat, most people do not have HUGE tanks .

I kow what you mean but I seem to run into them everytime i ask anything on here. Hence less than 200 posts in over 4 years...

Wow, I've gotten intensely flamed before for suggesting a 180 gallon for a silver aro, but there were people suggesting 75's, 125's and 150's here for like 10 pages before anyone really even said anything about it. I say no to the aro in the 125, 180 gallon minimum for me.

No most people don't have huge tanks, then again most people responding in this thread dont have huge arowana either. So where is real practicality in that?

How about you, what is your opinion? I know you got a black aro a couple years back around the same time I did. Do you still have it? If so what size tank do you keep it in?

I know I felt bad with my previous 27 inch silver in a 6' x 4' bottom footprint....
Just not enough footprint for him to hunt and ambush stuff

But without a feeling of guilt I would say I wouldn't want to house one in anything less than a 2' wide tank......
