I understand you only asked for one silver-Maybe I wasn't clear enough.

No worries-
It can still be done thats for sure-Just certainly not for life....
Have a nice evening I'm outie here
Correct me if im wrong but, ive read Sliver aro's grow up to 120cm. So i say a 150g? And you could keep some tank mate's with him. Your choice 
Or even a species tank in like a 200g? Im not an expret on aro's so yeah.

lol apparently you didnt read the whole thread and the somewhat heated discussion on minimum tank size for a silver aro for life. 120cm fish needs more than a 60cm or 76cm wide 150G or 200G tank. 120cm Aro is unlikely in all but the biggest of tanks (8'x4' or 10'x4') or small pond. Captive raised fish are usually smaller than their wild counterparts to begin with so your looking at an aro around 90cm or less max in captivity.
I have an adult but not fully grown silver in a 4' x 8' x 3' deep vat with view window. The fish is about 28" guessing. I have been told you can keep three fish this size in such a vat, but given the amount they eat, one is plenty. Plus there are other fish with it (Anostomus, Leproinus, Sevrum, etc.).
