RAISING AN ARO!

[eoertel1082]

JUST WONDERING IF I COULD RAISE A SMALL ARO IN A 10 GALLON AND WHEN HE GETS BIGGER PUT HIM IN MY 75! I JUST DONT WANT MY PEACOCK BASS TO EAT HIM WHEN HE IS ONLY LIKE 3IN LONG!

No, no you cant, period.

The growth rate of a peacock bass is a lot faster than the growth rate of an Aro, so by the time the Aro outgrows the 10g (in about a month), he still wouldn't be big enough to avoid being eaten. If you want an Aro you're gonna have to find one larger than your bass.... STILL a 75g isn't big enough to house any arowana for more than 8-12 months probably.

if you want an aro youre going to have to have bigger than a 75g anyways. minimum for a single aro is 180g, and thats on the low side. it should really be something 6'x3'x30"

Minimum for an ASIAN or JAR is 6x2x2. A minimum for a SILVER is 8x3x2.

in 12 months, your aro could possibly already be more than 24" long, a 75 gallon will not even work for 8 months.
