if i have a 20-24" arowana what is the minimum width on my tank for him/her to be able to turn comfortably?

 

[Venom]

30" wide is good.

 

[Nic]

for a adult of larger size 36" should be minimum

 

[hmoobvwj]

so a 7'x19"x29" tank will be too small for a 20"+ arowana to live comfortably(turning)?

silvers and blacks are very flexible but a 24" should be the bare minimum but bigger is deffinatly needed so either 30 or 36"

Since these fish can get 3' long, I would say for their comfort it is best to have a 3' wide tank for them. They are flexible, but the more room they have to turn around, the better.
