Silver arowana tank size?

[Fishnerd360]

One day in the next 10 years, I would like to setup a large tank that I would either get custom made, or make it myself with plywood. I would like to get silver arowana since arowanas seem like interesting fish and would like to get a asian arowana, but since they are illegal and jardinis are too aggressive, would a silver or black work? Would be a 72 inch, by 36 inch, by 24 inch tank I was thinking about?

An Asian Arowana would be ok in a aquarium with those dimensions.

Thats probably the smallest possible tank for an adult silver. I have looked in to these many times but I think something like 96×48×? would be better.

And yes you can put a silver Arowana in that size tank

Yes I'm fully aware of that just stating what specie of Arowana might be ok in the dimensions of that aquarium.

Jardini arowanas are aggressive right? Cause if I do get this tank, I don't want a single fish in it.

All aro are aggressive. Jardini have a reputation but every fish is different. But yeah id say it would be the jar only in the tank.

The OP doesn't have a location listed, so it might not be illegal in his country...
