Planning to keep three arowana?? Need your advise

i saw that it was on gumtree and there 2 silver as well in 180gallon tank there were like 2ft each

Yep they're the one. The aros didn't look half bad to be honest.

Many of them are simply crosses with reds and rtgs. 3500 is bout the going rate over here for those cross-breeds. Find a pure chilli red over here though... that'll leave a black hole in the bank account. I still can't get over how fortunate people in other areas are when it comes to obtaining them.

Hi guys,


I have two silver arowana around 4" inch.. My tank is around 140ltrs. Currenly, I have put partition in betwn dem.. I herd that keeping is not good as they fight and I should introduce third one to the tank... Need advise from you guys what to do. ???

Who ever told you that adding a third will make it work is just spewing bad advise. There are no consistencies when trying to keep more then one arowana together. The only thing you can do is introduce the multiple arowana together and observe. Usually it is apparent rather quickly if it is failing. You need to be able to separate and house the multiple arowana, so multiple tanks are a must. IMO you are set up to even raise a single silver aro unless you have other multiple larger tanks. Silver arowana grow extremely fast and communities only increase the need for a larger tank sooner.

Good luck, then more research you do on this and better prepared you are will greatly increase you chances of success.
