I just think it would be interesting to do a bit of a survey as to who keeps what, how big it is and what size tank its in. I'm going to say no photos too, because I want to keep the thread to the point and not end up with 10 pages of "nice setup" or "cool fish".

So, just post the species/variety, how big it is, what size tank its in (dimensions and volume), and how long you've had it. And this is obviously for ACTUAL fish, none of this "5 silvers in an 800g tank, planned for 2012, just in a 30g for now" crap. If your tank is just a grow out then just say so, don't try to justify it with bs plans for enormous tanks when you're still living at home with your parents.

I've got one green aro, its about 11", in a 60"X28wX24h 160g tank and I've had it around 3.5 months.
 
I've got a 19" black aro in a 120g 60"x18"x26" tank. Bought in Febuary of 2007.

My two silver aros are 26~27" and are together in a 6'x2'x2' 180g tank. One I raised from 3" and got it in Febuary 2006, the other silver I adopted in May 2007 at 21".
 
9, 2ft long chilis with 3 per 300 gallon rubbermaid tub. Had them for about 4 years. Also have 5 other chilis under 18" in a 6x3x2 and 1 more chili 10" in a 150 experiment tank.
 
2 silvers 24-27in and 2 blacks 12-17in in a 6ft x 18in x 20in in 125 gal.
 
3 silvers (20"-ish), 1 jardini (19"), 1 green (12") aro in 6'x2'x2' (growout) for almost a year
1 X-back gold, 1 blue base, 1 red in 8'x3'x3' (would have been permanent, but separation is imminent due to incompatibility) for two months

PS: measurement of fish are approximations only ^^ never did figure out how to measure them exactly
 
1 15" silver arowana,1 14" black,1 7" jardini in 150 gallon
 
1 silver 26" in a 340gal 6x3x2.5ft
