New silver arowana

[eckersworld]

I just recently baught a 8" silver arowana COOLEST fish I have ever owned! So cool and eats anything and everything.

1 quick question tho.... I am setting up a 155 gallon predator tank and was wondering how important gravel is? It would be ALOT easier if I didnt use any gravel at all. would this be stressful for the arowana and other fish that will be in there?

Gravel is not necessary. Are you aware of how quickly and large silver aros grow?

Thank you, you answered my question!

Of course I am aware of how fast a healthy arowana grows! Thats why I asked a question on how to set up a 155 gallon I just baught

I also own 2 american alligators! So I wouldnt dive into something I couldnt handle.

Cheers!

how wide is your 155?

 

[eckersworld]

Not quite sure because I pick it up tomorrow afternoon. but it looked to be 18"-22"

you need at LEAST a 24" if you want to keep it in there for a while.... which is why I got a 32"
