My first aro :)

[Keeper of the Ropes]

I know I don't have room to keep it for it's whole life, or even half of it... but I bought one anyway. It's beautiful and I love it! Once it's too big for the tank, it'll have to go back to the LFS, and then maybe I'll grow out another for them. But anyway, here's my little silver:

You do realize that very few pet shops will take arowanas that are half grown, let alone full grown. Very few have the space, nor want the burden of having one sit there eating their food.

hes only got a 10 gallon tank it will only get what 7-8 inches in there any pet shop will take that size aro back

 

[hillbilly]

A 10gal. ?

 

[Gourami Swami]

hm... take it back NOW, imo, if you only have a 10 gal

 

[davo]

read the tank set up. think the largest is a 55

What tank do you have your arowana in?? You may need to think about getting a larger tank for him. Are you sure your LFS is going to take them back when he is bigger?

an aro in a 10 gallon . so so sad sad . read about fish and know your fish befor you buy one . that is cruel

i think he knows, his intentions were to do exactly what he did. bring ur aro to me when its to big for your tank, and feverfish, your an idiot. jus because a tank is small does not mean it'll stun its growth in a good way. it'll cause a deformity and unhealthy life for that aro.

i hate people like you.
