I got mine from my lfs for 35$(i feel like this was cheap. he was listed as 55$ but i am a regular at this store) i would say it is 3.5 to 4 inches, and its a silver arowana, i didnt mention that hah. Right now it is in a 30gallon long, just to grow out with a couple small silver dollars. I will move it to my 125 until he is nearing 2ft and then i will bring him to my house him in my uncles 300 gallon tank, so i do have a plan for it when it gets huge.. for the past few days he has been pigging out on dried shrimp, frozen blood worms and has began eating hikari sticks, i have not tried live food yet.. I just thought i would share with all of you Aro lovers, and i will post pics as he/she grows!
Hey there.. all the best with the new aro..the food you are feeding now is varied enough.. please avoid live food unless you grow/breed them yourself.. it could be a change once in a while but its best to avoid.. and about the tank size.. you could move the aro to the 125g like when the aro is around 8" to 9".. 2ft and a 30g(if my understanding is right) is gonna be way too cramped and the aro is gonna bust the tank.. i've had two aros(two different tanks) do that.. 12" in a 45g and they broke the glass..and bout the dollars they are super skittish and could freak out your aro..all the best again.. your best point of info would be this sticky info..
